Field Project Engineer

AGent is building the leading software platform to optimize distributed generation resources — turning energy liabilities into reliable, monetizable assets. We bring AI to the aggregation, orchestration, and monetization of distributed generation in wholesale and retail power markets, delivering meaningful reliability, economic, and sustainability benefits to commercial, institutional, and industrial energy users, utilities, and grid operators.

We move fast, think big, and operate with a lean, high-trust team. Every hire matters here.

When the grid is stressed, our customers get paid to help. Most run their backup generators; a few simply turn down load. You'll run the projects that make that possible, from the first customer kickoff to go-live, for the sites in your home region.

Licensed electrical contractors do the installs. You scope the work, direct the contractors, keep everyone informed, and verify the result. It's mostly technical project management, but you'll be onsite regularly and should be comfortable getting hands-on: troubleshooting a controller, swapping a modem, or checking wiring when a site needs it.

It's also a ground-floor role. You'll help shape the playbooks, contractor network, and alerting that let us deploy faster every year.

• →AGent's platform, hardware kit, install standards, and alert workflow.

• You catch the detail others miss and fix problems before they spread.
• You take initiative and don't wait to be told what's next.
• You like working independently, with a small team a message away.
• You stay calm and creative when a site visit doesn't go to plan.
