Site Readiness Technician III –  Data Center Energy Storage & Power Systems 

Travel Requirement: >80% site based

Position Type: Full-Time, hourly with OT and per diem

Location: Field-Based in United States (current site in Amarillo, TX)

Overview 

The Site Readiness Technician III is a master technician and field supervisor responsible for leading inspection crews and driving Site Readiness execution on ON.energy’s mission-critical, medium-voltage double-conversion UPS systems built on utility-scale BESS equipment (batteries, transformers, PCS, and controls). The Technician III performs advanced receiving and mechanical completion inspections, leads non-conformance disposition, supports pre-energization readiness, and mentors junior technicians while maintaining the highest standards of safety and quality. 

This is a senior, hands-on, high-travel field role for a technician who can operate autonomously, supervise crews, and interface directly with the Site Readiness Manager, commissioning engineers, EPC partners, and OEM representatives. 

Key Responsibilities 

Safety Leadership 

• Foster and maintain a culture of safety for all team members, overseeing JHA and LOTO program compliance and maintaining zero recordable injuries. 

Field Supervision 

• Act as field supervisor for teams of 2–12 Site Readiness Technicians. 

• Work autonomously to further project readiness goals and maintain inspection quality and tracking standards with junior members. 

• Provide hands-on training to junior and intermediate technicians on inspection procedures, documentation, and acceptance criteria. 

Inspection, Verification & Non-Conformance 

• Perform advanced receiving inspections and mechanical completion verification on BESS containers, battery racks/modules, inverters, transformers, switchgear, telecom cabinets, and auxiliary systems. 

• Verify torque, terminations, grounding, cable routing, labeling, conduit, and enclosure integrity against approved submittals, drawings, OEM requirements, and the project Quality Plan. 

• Lead initial disposition of non-conformances; initiate and track NCRs and punch list items through closure, escalating to the Site Readiness Manager and engineering when issues cannot be resolved in the field. 

• Support pre-energization readiness reviews and quality walkdowns with commissioning. 

OEM/EPC Interface & Documentation 

• Interface with OEM field representatives and EPC quality personnel; relay findings to the Site Readiness Manager and engineering. 

• Maintain excellent documentation habits — inspection reports, photographic evidence, redlines, and field discrepancy tracking — in the project platform (Overmap, CxAlloy, or equivalent). 

Tools & Diagnostics 

• Proficient in the safe use of standard hand tools and calibrated torque tools for verification of assembly and installation. 

• Skilled in operating inspection and diagnostic equipment including digital multimeters, clamp meters, insulation resistance testers, and other measurement devices commonly used in battery energy storage systems. 

Required Qualifications 

• 5+ years hands-on experience in field inspection, construction QA/QC, or electrical/mechanical commissioning on power systems. 

• Working knowledge of NEC, NFPA 70E, IEEE, UL 9540/9540A, utility standards, and OEM installation requirements. 

• Associate degree or vocational/military training in Electrical, Electronics, or a related technical field. 

• Strong judgment on dispositioning defects and knowing when to escalate to engineering. 

• Willing and able to travel up to ~80% to project sites nationwide. 

Preferred Qualifications 

• Experience with medium-voltage equipment and pre-energization verification. 

• Safety certifications (OSHA 30, NFPA 70E, First Aid, CPR, AED). 

• Prior BESS or hyperscale data center inspection or commissioning experience. 

• Certifications such as NETA, AWS CWI, or ISO 9001 auditor.
