Operational Contributions • Complete field reports, documentation, and time management • Support scheduling and revenue targets

Team Development • Mentor junior engineers and support training initiatives

What You Bring

Core Qualifications • Electrical Engineering degree or Qualified Electrician background • 7+ years in electrical systems OR 3+ years commissioning • Data center or mission-critical experience

Technical Capabilities • Experience with electrical distribution, HVAC systems, controls, fire alarm, and automation • Ability to read construction drawings and specifications

Why FST

At FST, you are part of a team that values execution, accountability, and expertise. Strong performers are recognized, and engineers have opportunities to grow into leadership roles.
