Every GW-scale data center campus, every new semiconductor fab, every hospital expansion - they all share the same bottleneck: there aren't enough qualified commissioning resources to bring these systems online safely.

Catalyst Commissioning Group has been solving that problem since 2014. Our approach is built on collaboration, risk mitigation, and cultural contribution. We work shoulder-to-shoulder with designers, contractors, and owners to identify issues early, resolve them systematically, and make sure critical systems perform as intended when it matters most. That takes technical depth, clear communication, and professionals who understand that commissioning is where design intent meets field reality.

Right now, we're looking for electrical professionals ready to take the next step in their careers.

We're hiring Electrical Commissioning Field Engineers with 3–5+ years of hands-on experience in power distribution, emergency power systems, and/or critical facility electrical infrastructure.

What the work looks like:
You'll travel to project sites (typically 30–75%) to commission electrical systems that don't get a second chance to work correctly. Low and medium voltage distribution from 208V to 35kV+. UPS and generator systems. Switchgear, transfer switches, and emergency power. You'll participate in design reviews, develop test procedures, execute functional testing, and troubleshoot the problems that only show up under load. Between site deployments, you work from home - your office, your schedule, your routine.

Our project mix keeps things interesting. One month, you might be on a hyperscale data center campus. The next a semiconductor cleanroom or a pharmaceutical central plant. You'll build real expertise across industries, not just repetition on identical builds.

What we're looking for:
The right candidate has been in the field long enough to know what good looks like and what can go wrong when corners get cut. Whether your background is in electrical field service, installation, testing, operations, or commissioning, we care most about what you can do with a meter in your hand and a one-line in front of you. While we are interested in what you know, we also want to understand how fast you learn and the extent of your intellectual curiosity.

Credentials like EIT, NETA, NICET, or being a licensed electrician strengthen your candidacy, but they're not prerequisites. If you're pursuing a PE, we'll support that path. If you're not, that's fine too; deep field competence is what drives our work.

What Catalyst offers:
This is a small firm led by Principal-Owner Earl LaFlamme IV, PE. You'll work directly with senior leadership, not through layers of middle management. When you flag a design conflict or an installation deficiency, your team has your back. Your development isn't an HR program; it's built into every project through direct mentorship from engineers and commissioning experts with decades of mission-critical experience.

Compensation ranges from $85K to $145K+, depending on experience and credentials, with performance bonuses and a professional development budget for certifications and training. The career path from here is clear: Technician, Specialist, to Project Manager, with each step earned through demonstrated technical excellence.

About the travel:
We structure our project assignments with predictability in mind. You'll know where you're going and for how long, not get a call on Sunday night to be somewhere Monday morning. Travel is to purpose-driven project sites where your expertise has a direct, visible impact on commissioning and QAQC outcomes. Between deployments, you're home. Many of our team members balance active project travel with families, personal commitments, and lives outside of work. The model works because it's designed to.

Help us understand how you think, and how you solve problems. Especially, if you've developed tools, systems, and AI that multiply your and/or your team's output.
