We turn the signal from a plant's existing machines into live visibility, so operations teams can see what every machine is doing, find lost capacity, and run leaner plants. Think of it as a FitBit for factories. There is no rip-and-replace and no lengthy integration project. A plant can be live in a day. Good for business, good for the planet.   **The role** The Field Engineer is the primary point of contact for customer implementations. Once a customer signs, you are the person who gets them installed, connected, and generating value on the Guidewheel platform. You lead implementations both on-site and remotely, working alongside a Technical Account Manager (TAM) who owns the customer relationship and defines the scope of each engagement. You own execution: safe, accurate, repeatable installations delivered on schedule. This is hands-on technical work in live industrial environments, and it is where a customer's experience of Guidewheel begins. A well-run implementation is the difference between a platform a plant trusts and one it does not.   **What you will do** ### **Lead the implementation** - Lead customer installations end to end, on-site and remotely, per the published implementation schedule. - Assess electrical panel safety on arrival and coordinate with the customer's electrician when the scope requires it. - Install, wire, and configure monitoring hardware to Guidewheel standards and to the agreed scope of work. - Establish and validate site connectivity, and confirm data is flowing to the platform before you close out. - Capture machine information: nameplate data, asset IDs, and photographs for every machine. - Guide customer teams through remote installations, giving clear direction and verifying quality at each step. ### **Document the work** Clean documentation is not optional. It is what allows your TAM to validate the installation, the customer to trust the data, and the platform to go live. - Photograph every sensor: panel view, sensor in place, and nameplate. - Submit your installation report within 24 hours of closing out a site, covering sensor count, anomalies, and any deviation from scope. - Hand a written punch list to your TAM before leaving the site. - Log time on site so we can plan future implementations accurately. ### **Prepare and follow through** - Assemble and stage hardware kits: firmware updates, labeling, and quality checks. - Run inventory audits and reconcile physical counts against system records. - Troubleshoot hardware remotely with your TAM after the implementation. - Return to site for replacement hardware, multi-phase installations, and scope additions. - Improve the implementation playbook. Site-readiness checklists get better because Field Engineers write them. **What success looks like** ### **First 30 days: certify and shadow** - Complete electrical safety and lockout/tagout training. - Complete Guidewheel's hardware installation and configuration certification. - Shadow five or more implementations across different customer types and panel configurations. - Assemble and QA your field kit. ### **Days 31 to 60: lead your first implementations** - Lead your first solo implementation end to end, with a TAM available for remote support. - Complete 10 or more sensor installations independently at 95% or better first-pass accuracy. - Contribute your first improvement to the implementation playbook, drawn from a real punch list. ### **Days 61 to 90: multi-site independence** - Lead multi-site implementation trips independently. - Support onboarding and shadow days for the next Field Engineer. - Propose one measurable improvement to implementation cycle time. ### **How the role is measured** - Installation quality: 97% or better sensor accuracy on the first validation pass. - Safety: zero recordable incidents. - Reporting: 100% of installation reports submitted within 24 hours of closing out a site. - Punch lists: fully documented and handed off before departure. - Throughput: implementations completed per week, set with your manager based on geography and complexity.   **What you bring** Hands-on judgment in a live panel matters more to us than any single credential. If you have done this work in the field, we would like to hear from you. - **Trades experience. **Electrical, industrial installation, controls, or a related skilled trade, with comfort working in and around three-phase panels. - **Electrical safety fundamentals. **Working knowledge of safe practice, including lockout/tagout. Certification is a plus, and we will certify you if you do not hold one. - **Tool fluency. **Multimeter, clamp meter, drill, torque tools, and label printer. - **Willingness to travel. **Up to 75% - **Documentation discipline. **Clear photographs and accurate notes matter as much as clean wiring. - **Comfort with software. **You will create machines, map sensors, and update installation status from the plant floor, and coordinate with the team through standard collaboration tools. - **Customer-facing communication. **You are the technical face of Guidewheel on site and on remote calls, and your TAM receives a clear status update at the end of every day. - **A valid driver's license **and a clean driving record. ### **Nice to have** - Power metering or submetering experience. - Industrial networking: cellular gateways, VLANs, and working alongside plant IT teams. - Time inside manufacturing plants, and familiarity with what a plant expects from a contractor in its space. - Experience training or mentoring technicians. - A second language, especially Spanish. - PLC knowledge and experience implementing/troubleshooting them.
