Part of the Unison Group, we’re known for our technical expertise and for being the crew our clients trust when they need things done properly, safely, and on time.
We’re looking for a number of certified Power Technicians to join our national team. You’ll be involved in commissioning, testing, and maintaining primary and secondary systems, supporting projects and customers across the country. Strong communication skills and a commitment to exceptional service are essential.
