• Respond to urgent operational issues to minimize downtime and restore plant functionality
• Generate reports and present plant performance updates during regular customer meetings
• Act as an escalation point for field-related issues, coordinating cross-functional support when required
• Execute preventive, reactive, and predictive maintenance activities alongside customer and contract technicians
• Manage inventory, spare parts, replacement cycles, and equipment logistics
• Partner with supply chain and operations teams to improve spare parts strategies and lead times
• Ensure proper storage, traceability, and readiness of field tools and maintenance materials
• Utilize CMMS systems for maintenance planning, work order management, backlog tracking, maintenance records, and asset tracking
• Monitor plant health and improve diagnostic capabilities
• Develop and refine SOPs, checklists, training materials, and field service procedures

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Engineering required
• 3+ years of field engineering or similar hands-on experience supporting industrial or process equipment
• Strong troubleshooting and problem-solving skills
• Experience within energy, electrochemical, hydrogen, or industrial systems environments
• Experience supporting commissioning and maintenance activities
• Familiarity with CMMS systems, spare parts planning, inventory management, and logistics coordination
• Strong customer-facing communication and relationship management skills
• Based in Texas or willing to relocate to Texas to support the high on-site presence required during the commissioning phase (2026 through early 2027)

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
