Electrical Quality Assurance Specialist

DSC Dredge is a world leader in portable cutter suction dredges engineering and manufacturing equipment for aggregate mining and sand & gravel production, environmental remediation, coastal restoration, navigational maintenance, and marine construction across the U.S. and in more than 50 countries worldwide. We operate from our headquarters in Reserve, Louisiana and our manufacturing facility in Poplarville, Mississippi.

We are looking for an Electrical Quality Assurance Specialist to own quality across DSC’s electrical systems from incoming switch gear, transformers, and control panels to in-process wiring, terminations, and final functional testing. You will work alongside the Electrical Department, Engineering, and customers to ensure every dredge’s electrical systems, including installations up to 12

VDC TO 13.8kV, meet national and international electrical codes, DSC Standards, and project contract requirements.

• Inspect and participate in testing of electrical equipment — switch gear, transformers, motors, control panels, and conduit/cable systems for conformance with drawings, schematics, specifications, and National Electrical Code.
• Verification of materials, connections, grounding, lugs and torque.
• Participate in electrical testing including, but not limited to insulation resistance, continuity, hi-pot, VLF, Ducter and functional tests on electrical components and systems ahead of final testing and product release.
• Initiate and run internal quality checks on electrical components throughout dredge assembly, assisting Engineering and the Electrical Department during final testing
• Review electrical drawings, one-line diagrams, schematics, and as-builts for conformance with installation practice and design intent
• Troubleshoot and document electrical malfunctions identified during inspection, and coordinate corrective action with the Electrical Department
• Maintain compliance with applicable electrical codes and safety regulations (NEC, NETA, IEEE) used in the dredging industry, including systems from 12
  
  VDC to 13.8kV.
• Organize, maintain, and track electrical inspection progress against the Inspection & Test Plan (ITP), travelers, check sheets, forms, and logs
• Coordinate, witness, and write detailed inspection reports covering electrical inspections, NDE, pressure testing, and non-conformance (NCR)
• Liaise with customers’ auditors, manage corrective action, and ensure compliance with customer specifications for electrical systems
• Maintain electrical inspection and test records for all departmental machinery and distribution systems

• 5–7 years of quality assurance or electrical experience, ideally in industrial, marine, or heavy equipment manufacturing
• Working knowledge of electrical codes and standards (NEC, NETA, IEEE) and experience with high-voltage systems (up to 24-12K volts)
• Experience with electrical test instruments (multimeters, insulation resistance testers, hi-pot testers) and the ability to interpret electrical schematics and drawings
• NETA certification preferred, structural and mechanical experience a bonus.
• Working knowledge of Lock-Out/Tag-Out (LOTO), arc flash, and electrical safety procedures
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to present to customers and cross-functional teams
• Proficiency in Microsoft Office
• Willingness to travel as required from Reserve, LA to Poplarville, MS as required.

• Every dredge’s electrical system is different — from control panels to high-voltage distribution keeping the inspection work varied and technically engaging
• Direct, visible impact — your electrical test sign-offs and NCR decisions are what stand behind equipment operating in the field across the U.S. and more than 50 countries
• A business at record production levels — sustained demand means career stability and a steady pipeline of substantive…
