  • • Perform root cause analysis on recurring failures and recommend corrective action
  • • Maintain service documentation, drive configuration backups, and maintenance records for all serviced equipment
  • • Serve as MIH’s internal subject matter expert on VFD products, particularly ABB drives
  • • Support sales and engineering teams with technical guidance on drive selection, sizing, and application
  • • Provide technical training to internal staff, junior technicians, and customers on drive operation and best practices
  • • Maintain relationships with ABB and other drive manufacturers for technical support, training, and product updates
  • • Stay current on new drive technology, firmware updates, and industry trends to keep MIH’s offerings competitive

  • • Strong working knowledge of ABB VFD platforms strongly preferred
  • • Proven experience with drive startup, commissioning, and field service in an industrial/commercial environment
  • • Solid understanding of three-phase power systems, motor theory, and motor control fundamentals

  • • Ability to read and interpret electrical schematics, single-line diagrams, and control drawings
  • • Familiarity with industrial communication protocols (Modbus, Profibus, EtherNet/IP, DeviceNet)
  • • Strong troubleshooting, diagnostic, and root-cause analysis skills
  • • Comfortable working directly with customers in a field service/technical advisor capacity
  • • Working knowledge of NFPA 70E arc flash safety standards and lockout/tagout procedures
  • • Valid driver’s license and ability to travel to customer sites (regional/occasional overnight travel as needed)
  • • Strong written and verbal communication skills for customer interaction, documentation, and cross-team coordination
  • • Active electrical license (journeyman or master electrician) — strongly preferred
  • • ABB drive certification(s) or manufacturer-specific training credentials
  • • Experience with PLC platforms (Allen-Bradley, Siemens) and HMI/SCADA systems - preferred
  • • Associate’s degree or technical certification in Electrical Technology, Industrial Maintenance, or related field
  • • Prior experience in a field service, systems integration, or drives distributor/OEM environment

  • • Ability to lift up to 50 lbs
  • • Ability to work in industrial environments, including exposure to noise, heat, and confined spaces
  • • Ability to work at heights, in electrical rooms, and around energized equipment following proper safety

  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
