高级现场工程师

Position Summary

We are seeking highly skilled and motivated [Remote with 60-80% Travel] Field Engineers to lead the commissioning and start-up of Antora's thermal energy storage plants. These Field Engineers will collaborate with internal engineering and operations teams to safely commission and operate first-of-a-kind industrial installations of Antora's technology and will be a key technical member of a cross-functional and rapidly growing organization, whose work will directly contribute to the demonstration of a first of a kind long-duration energy storage technology. We are looking for expertise in the following areas:

1. Low and Medium Voltage (LV/MV) Equipment
2. Network, Instrumentation and Controls (N, I&C)
3. Mechanical, Electrical, and Process (MEP)

This role requires strong technical expertise, a commitment to safety, and the ability to work collaboratively with engineering, construction, and operations teams.

This role requires being on long-term assignments (6-9 months) at project sites. Antora provides airfare, lodging support, daily per diems, ground transportation, and regular home-visit travel.

Roles & Responsibilities

• Commission Antora's thermal battery systems.
• Diagnose and resolve technical issues from a first principles approach and share learnings across organization, drive issues to resolution by coordinating both internal and external resources
• Create, follow, and provide feedback on required commissioning documentation (ITPs, checklists, punchlists, inspection reports, etc.)
• Help ensure a clean hand-off from construction to commissioning crew by leading reviews with EPCs and subcontractors to maintain schedule, performance, operability, and safety; RFIs, submittals, QA/QC, punchlists.
• Help ensure a clean hand-off to site operations by providing clear documentation and required training to operations crew
• Willingness to travel extensively to project sites.

Key Qualifications

• Ability to diagnose and resolve technical issues from a first principles approach and share learnings across organization
• 2+ years of field experience commissioning industrial equipment.
• Lead reviews with EPCs and subcontractors to ensure schedule, performance, operability, and safety.
• Strong knowledge of electrical, equipment, and process safety standards and procedures.
• Excellent communication and documentation skills.
• Strong problem-solving and decision-making ability under pressure.
• Willingness to travel extensively to project sites.
• Bachelors degree in Electrical or Mechanical engineering, or equivalent

Option 1 - MV/LV Equipment

• Hands-on experience with MV (up to 34.5kV) electrical equipment: switchgear, protective relays, transformers, and generators.
• Experience programming and testing MV protection relay settings (SEL preferred).
• Hands-on experience with LV equipment - motors, generators, load banks, motor controllers/VFDs.
• Experience creating and executing electrical test plans, including automated test sets (Dobble, Omicron, or similar).

Option 2 - Network, Instrumentation and Controls (N, I&C)

• Commission full spectrum of instrumentation and control systems: ; Network infrastructure (cat6, fiber, switches, patch panels), PLC/RIO cabinets, field devices (RTDs, TCs, PTs, flow meters, etc.), , and instrument wiring.
• Lead loop checks, functional testing, controls commissioning, and site acceptance.
• Troubleshoot controls/instrumentation and network issues during startup and operations.
• Work with vendors/EPC to ensure controls and instrumentation meet Antora performance/safety needs.

Option 3 - Mechanical, Electrical, Process (MEP)

• Own cross-discipline interface management across mechanical, electrical, and process systems.
• Review P&IDs, equipment layouts, process flows, and utility tie-ins, and validate completion with regular system walkdowns.
• Coordinate modular thermal battery integration with site MEP infrastructure.
• Support construction execution: RFIs, submittals, QA/QC, punchlists. Drive issues to resolution by coordinating internal Antora and external resources.

Additional Qualifications Desired ("nice to have" but not required)

• Certifications: NETA Certified Technician (Level II/III/IV), OSHA 30 / NFPA 70E Electrical Safety Training, Professional Engineer (PE) license or EIT
• Experience with processes engineering of systems like Combined Heat and Power Plants, Boilers, Steam Generators and High Temperature Fluid loops.
• Experience with digitalized grid systems, such as SDN, IEC 61850
• Experience with industrial automation controllers: Allen Bradley PLC, HART communications, SEL RTAC, or similar
• Experience with Ignition SCADA.
• Previous operations and maintenance experience
