Field Service Technician

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.

AGent is looking for a hands-on Field Installation Technician to join our growing team, responsible for installing and commissioning generator monitoring and control hardware at customer facilities across the region. You'll work directly with electrical systems — both the hardware layer (wiring, sensors, ATS, metering) and the controls layer (gateways, relays, communication protocols) — to bring generator assets online and ensure they're reliably connected to our ecosystem. This role requires regular travel to customer sites, typically several days per week depending on project load, with occasional overnight travel; we're looking for someone based in the midwest or nearby states who's comfortable being on the road and in the field regularly.

• →Install, configure, and commission generator monitoring and control hardware at customer facilities, ensuring proper integration with both the electrical hardware layer (wiring, sensors, ATS, metering) and controls layer (gateways, relays, communication protocols)
• →Perform site assessments and pre-installation surveys to determine hardware requirements, wiring paths, panel access, and connectivity options at each facility
• →Scale your knowledge and efforts with strong communication across multiple projects and stakeholders
• →Execute all phases of on-site installation work: mounting hardware, running and terminating low-voltage wiring, connecting to generator control panels and ATS, and configuring network/communication links
• →Validate hardware functionality and data connectivity post-installation, troubleshooting wiring, signal, or communication issues before sign-off
• →Serve as the hands-on technical expert during customer kickoffs and site visits, translating project plans into accurate field installations
• →Coordinate on-site with customer facility staff, utility representatives, and third-party electrical contractors to ensure safe, code-compliant installations
• →Diagnose and repair hardware and connectivity issues in the field, using established troubleshooting protocols and escalating to engineering when needed
• →Maintain accurate installation documentation: wiring diagrams, as-built records, device configurations, and site-specific notes
• →Follow and help refine standardized installation and commissioning protocols to improve consistency and speed across sites
• →Provide field feedback to the engineering team on hardware design, installation challenges, and opportunities to improve reliability or ease of deployment
• →Support the hardware alerting system by verifying sensor/controls placement and confirming alert triggers function correctly post-install
• →Build relationships with on-site utility personnel and third-party contractors to support smooth, repeatable installations
• →Maintain a customer-centric approach on every site visit, ensuring minimal disruption to facility operations
• →Travel to customer sites as needed to complete installations, troubleshoot issues, and support commissioning

• Strong alignment with AGent values and mission
• Electrical or electronics technician certification, associate degree, or equivalent hands-on field experience
• 3+ years of experience installing or servicing electrical, controls, or low-voltage systems (generator, ATS, or power industry experience strongly preferred)
• Hands-on experience with generator systems and automatic transfer switches (ATS) — installation, wiring, or troubleshooting
• Working knowledge of controls hardware: PLCs, gateways, relays, sensors, or similar monitoring/communication devices
• Comfortable reading electrical schematics and wiring diagrams
• Demonstrated aptitude for field troubleshooting and problem-solving under real-world site conditions
• Exceptional attention to detail and self-initiative when working independently on-site
• Ability to communicate technical issues clearly to customers, contractors, and internal teams
• Comfortable working around live electrical panels and following proper safety protocols (familiarity with NEC/NFPA 70E a plus)
• Demonstrated desire for continuous learning and improvement
• Role requires regular travel to customer sites; strong preference for someone located in midwest or nearby states
• Valid driver's license and ability to travel to customer sites as needed (may include overnight travel)
