Responsibilities

The Chief Electrical Engineer serves as a senior technical advisor and Subject Matter Expert (SME) for ON.Energy’s electrical and power systems.

This role provides high-level engineering support for critical field issues and serves as a key technical consultant during the product design phase and when modifications are required.

You will act as a bridge between design theory and real-world operational performance, ensuring electrical safety, system reliability, and grid compliance through data-driven analysis and expert review.

High-Level Technical Support & Escalation

Field Technical Support: Serve as the senior technical point of contact for complex or unresolved electrical issues at project sites, from equipment through the decommissioning phase.

Root Cause Analysis: Provide expert oversight and direction for electrical failure investigations (e.g., arc flash incidents, harmonic issues, or protection trips), ensuring modifications are technically sound and address the core issue.
