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.

• 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.
