For data center and critical power equipment, including EPEC and Toshiba power distribution units (PDUs), UPS systems, and switch gear. We are building a dedicated field services organization to support customer deployments across the country.

The Field Services Technician is the presence on customer job sites. You will travel to project sites to receive, inspect, and quality-check equipment on arrival, support startup and commissioning, and document the condition of each installation. The role focuses on low-voltage systems and serves as the trusted technical eye on the ground for our manufacturers and customers.

• Travel to customer sites, where equipment is typically delivered, to perform incoming inspections and QC of PDUs, UPS systems, and related power equipment.
• Inspect equipment for shipping damage, cleanliness, and overall condition, and verify it matches specifications and documentation.
• Support equipment startup, commissioning, and troubleshooting alongside manufacturer representatives, integrators, and contractors.
• Perform on-site visual inspection of medium-voltage equipment and coordinate with vendor medium-voltage specialists who perform any servicing.
• Review PDU wiring and cabling work (e.g., Ironbox or Acceleration) for workmanship and quality.
• Prepare clear reports, photos, and punch lists, and promptly communicate issues to the Service Operations Manager.
• Follow all site, electrical, and manufacturer safety standards, and complete required OEM training.

This role does not perform high-voltage work.

• Extensive experience in the electrical, power, or data center field (20+ years ideal).
• Hands-on experience with power distribution, switching, or UPS equipment.
• Current safety certifications: OSHA 10, first aid, blood borne pathogens, and NFPA electrical safety (e.g., NFPA 70E).
• Data center safety awareness and fundamentals training, or willingness to complete remaining courses before starting.
• Ability to travel nationwide on short notice. Recent project sites have ranged from El Paso to Seattle.
• Reliable and professional, and comfortable working independently with customers and OEMs.
• Located near a major airport.

• Experience as an integration engineer or lead field engineer.
• Manufacturer certifications or experience (e.g., Schneider, UPS, or PDU training).
• Familiarity with EPEC, Toshiba, or similar OEM equipment.
• Mechanical or CDU experience is a plus, as this may become a future need.

OEM training is required and provided, including roughly 12–14 weeks of UPS training, about one week of PDU training, and other vendor-specific courses.

• Travel time paid hourly.
• Airfare covered, plus per diem for hotel and meals (travel expenses are actuals).
• Rental car provided when flying, or a daily vehicle/fuel allowance when driving.
