Senior Installation Engineer

The Installation / Construction Engineer will perform the critical role of providing the technical expertise required to ensure that the combination of subcontractors and Alert Innovation employees complete installation of the Alphabot structure in compliance with all critical parameters such that there is a defect-free hand off to the Alert commissioning team. The ideal candidate will possess a combination of both the electrical and mechanical knowledge necessary to support the installation, however, candidates will be considered who have expertise in one of the two with the ability to acquire the necessary expertise in the other.
