• Configure and troubleshoot ComAp controllers (InteliGen / InteliSys)
• Deliver synchronisation, load sharing, and remote monitoring solutions
• Carry out detailed site surveys of existing generator installations
• Support project design and technical proposals
• Perform Factory Acceptance Tests (FAT) and Site Acceptance Tests (SAT)
• Lead on‑site commissioning alongside contractors
• Diagnose and resolve electrical, mechanical, and control system faults
• Interpret LV and HV schematics confidently
• Implement switching logic, interlocks, and protection schemes
• Ensure compliance with G99 / G59 grid regulations

What We’re Looking For

• Strong experience in generator controls or power generation
• Hands‑on experience with ComAp systems
• Background in control panel design and build
• Experience with commissioning and fault finding on‑site
• Good understanding of grid compliance (G99 / G59)
• Ability to read and interpret complex electrical schematics
• Comfortable working in a field‑based role with travel across the Midlands and South

What’s On Offer

• £60,000 – £70,000 salary
• Car allowance
• High level of autonomy
• Varied, technically challenging projects

If you want a role where you’re trusted to deliver complete systems end‑to‑end in a field-based environment, this is worth a conversation
