Support and troubleshoot medium-voltage power distribution and substations
Work with transformers, switchgear, breakers and protective relays
Lead electrical infrastructure upgrades and modernization projects
Support system reliability, preventive maintenance and root-cause troubleshooting
Partner with engineering, maintenance, operations and outside contractors
Lead projects through installation and commissioning
What We're Looking For
Strong medium-voltage power distribution/substation experience
Experience with protective relays / protection & controls — SEL, GE, Eaton or similar
Strong power systems troubleshooting and engineering background
Utility, power services or heavy industrial/manufacturing backgrounds are all relevant
Experience with ETAP, SKM, EasyPower, arc-flash, short-circuit or coordination studies is a plus
Compensation & Highlights
$115K–$160K base salary
10% annual bonus opportunity
Sign-on bonus
Retention bonus
Up to $40K grossed-up relocation assistance
No travel
Full benefits and paid time off
Location
Canton, OH – Onsite
