Physical Demands

Employee must be able to effectively communicate in person by telephone and electronically. Position may require standing walking climbing ladders or stairs and occasional lifting of equipment or materials during site visits.

Work Environment

Employee will work in a combination of office and field environments. Field assignments may occur at industrial facilities manufacturing plants utility stations and power generation facilities. Exposure to varying weather conditions elevated noise levels and active construction environments may be required.

This Omaha version broadens the role slightly beyond gas turbine controls and aligns well with the industrial utility and power-generation market in Nebraska while remaining consistent with Zachrys typical Engineer III expectations.
