Full Job Description

The Field Service Apprentice is the entry-level position on the field service technician track. This role learns the fundamentals of electrical field service through hands-on training under direct supervision of senior technicians and Field Engineers. The apprentice supports basic maintenance, inspection, and testing tasks while building the technical knowledge, safety habits, and professional practices needed to advance to FST2. Success in this role is measured by safety compliance, training completion, attention to detail, and demonstrated readiness to take on independent task ownership.

Work alongside senior technicians and Field Engineers to learn maintenance, inspection, and testing procedures on low- and medium-voltage electrical equipment.
Observe and assist with switchgear, breaker, ATS, generator, transformer, and PDU service activities.
Complete assigned training modules, OEM training, and certifications on schedule.
Ask questions, take notes, and apply feedback from mentors to build technical skill.

Field Support Tasks

Perform basic visual inspections under direct supervision and report findings.
Assist with cleaning, lubrication, and basic mechanical checks on field equipment.
Stage tools, test equipment, and parts at the work site; help with setup and teardown.
Assist with measurements such as voltage, continuity, and basic insulation resistance under direct supervision.
Support documentation by recording observations, readings, and equipment data on test sheets.

Safety, Isolation & Grounding

Participate in lockout/tagout (LOTO), grounding activities, and verification of zero-energy states under direct supervision.
Participate in Job Hazard Analyses (JHAs) and on-site safety briefings.
Wear required PPE at all times and follow all NFPA 70E, OSHA, and customer site safety requirements.
Immediately report unsafe conditions, near misses, or equipment concerns to the senior technician on site.

Tools, Materials & Vehicle Care

Help load, unload, and organize service vehicles; ensure tools are clean and serviceable.
Track and report tool calibration, damage, or replacement needs.

Professional Practices

Communicate professionally with team members, supervisors, and customer personnel.
Arrive on time, in proper uniform and PPE, and prepared for the day's work.
Complete time entries, expense reports, and basic field documentation accurately.
Represent the company positively at customer sites at all times.

Valid driver's license required and must be maintained throughout employment; reliable transportation to the home shop.

Preferred Qualifications

Active enrollment in or completion of a trade school, electrical program, or registered apprenticeship.

Prior experience in industrial maintenance, construction, automotive, or other hands-on trade roles.
OSHA 10 certification.
Basic familiarity with multimeters, hand tools, or shop equipment.

Knowledge, Skills & Abilities

Coachability — open to instruction, willing to ask questions, and able to apply feedback.
Reliability and punctuality; field service work depends on showing up ready every day.
Attention to detail in tool care, documentation, and following written procedures.
Comfort working as part of a small crew in unfamiliar environments.
Basic verbal and written communication skills.
Comfort with basic computer use and willingness to learn mobile/field reporting tools.

Tools & Technology

Hand tools, basic power tools, and standard shop equipment.
Introductory exposure to multimeters, clamp meters, insulation resistance testers (meggers), and torque wrenches.
Mobile field service applications, time tracking systems, and basic Microsoft Office tools.

Working Conditions & Travel

Primarily field-based at customer facilities including industrial plants, utilities, data centers, commercial facilities, and substations; some shop-based work and training as well.
Travel typically 25–50%, primarily as part of a senior technician's crew; may include occasional nights, weekends, or overnight stays.
Work may be performed in confined spaces, on elevated platforms, in hot/cold environments, and around energized equipment per safety rules.
Must be able to wear required PPE including arc-rated clothing, hard hat, gloves, safety glasses, hearing protection, and fall protection as needed.

Physical Requirements

Ability to lift and carry up to 50 lbs (23 kg) and assist with moving heavier equipment with team members.
