Assist in the build, integration, and testing of equipment, including active support during on-site commissioning and troubleshooting.
Conduct structured testing to ensure system compliance with performance requirements, both in-shop and at client sites.

Serve as a technical field contact during deployments, offering hands-on support and problem resolution.
Travel regularly to client facilities, including nuclear generating stations, to support system installation, commissioning, and service.

Adhere to KCI’s ISO 9001 quality standards and internal procedures for documentation, verification, and approval.
Comply with all corporate policies and client site requirements, including ethical conduct and project safety standards.
Follow all health and safety protocols, including work in radiological areas under Nuclear Energy Worker (NEW) designation where applicable.


Field Work and Safety Requirements


This role requires:

Frequent travel to industrial and nuclear client sites for installation, commissioning, and service work.
Working in controlled environments, including radiologically classified zones and power generation facilities.
Flexibility to support scheduled outages, field testing, and short-notice deployments.
Strict adherence to client-specific HSE policies, including PPE requirements, lockout/tagout procedures, and site-specific orientation.
