Position Summary:

We are seeking to fill the role of Electrical Controls Field Specialist. This position reports directly to the Controls Division Head. This role will be a hybrid role between work out in the field and building control panels in our panel shop. The controls division is relatively new at GWI, so this is an opportunity to become part of the foundation of a successful organization as it continues to expand. We are looking for someone to be intrinsically self-motivated, a strong team player, a resourceful thinker, and hungry to help make GWI the authority on pump station controls in Georgia.

GWI offers a competitive salary and benefits package for this position including medical, dental, vision, long and short-term disability insurances as well as a HSA and a 401k plan. Company laptop, cell phone, service truck, and all job-related equipment and expense account are included. This position comes with opportunity for advancement within the Controls Division as your skills, abilities, and knowledge increase.

Qualifications:

• Although 2-3 years' working experience in controls troubleshooting or panel building is preferred, candidates with no experience who have the basic education/foundation and who possess the right attitude and exhibit the appropriate technical aptitude will be considered.
• At least a 2-year degree in an electrical controls related curriculum. Appropriate working experience can be accepted in lieu of a degree.
• Candidates should have a basic working knowledge of electricity and industrial motor control components and systems. Control systems as they pertain to pump stations is a bonus.
• A basic knowledge of electrical safety and safe practices when working around electricity and electrically energized equipment.
• Ability to follow an electrical schematic.
• This is a field service position, and as such, a good portion of this work will be outside in the elements. Candidates must be able to work in the extreme heat, extreme cold, and rainy conditions when required. Appropriate equipment will be provided to help counter the elements when necessary.
• The ability to lift things that are heavy and work on your feet.
• Candidates must desire to work with their hands.
• Being a field service position, this role requires driving to job sites all over the state of Georgia. The successful candidate must be able to be trusted with a company vehicle, must have a good driving record, and must be able to drive long distances - sometimes in the early morning or late at night.

Duties of the position include but are not limited to:

• Troubleshoot general electrical control panel issues at pump stations, including pump sensor issues, bad motor windings or insulation, and issues with motor starters/soft starts/VFD's.
• Perform control panel retrofits based on engineered drawings, such as:
  • Replacing old pump station controllers
  • Installing new power monitoring equipment, new pump motor protection equipment, or new telemetry equipment.
  • Replacing starters, circuit breakers, and power wiring with larger equipment and conductors for upsizing pumps.
  • Upgrading direct-on-line starters to soft starts or variable frequency drives.
• Startup of new control panels.
• Fabrication of new and complete control panels in our panel shop from engineered schematics, including mounting components and wiring.
• Programming/commissioning variable frequency drives and soft starts.
• Experience using meggers and multimeters.
• Submit field service reports with detailed notes and pictures from every job.
• This position requires overnight travel, about 10%.
• This position requires weekend work when emergencies arise, about 10-15%.

Proper training will be provided to set the foundation to be successful in this role, but the majority of the accumulated knowledge will come from being out in the field and gaining hands-on experience.#goforthwilliamson
