Role: Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) Specialist

- Develop and support in-house demos for engineer/customer visits.
- Assist inside/outside salespeople in identifying the correct VFD for applications, and review specifications with salespeople.
- Perform harmonic calculations and promote effective mitigation strategies.
- Identify MRO VFD opportunities and support creating proactive replacement strategies with the sales team.
- Support local specifying engineers as a subject matter expert on VFDs; participate in and present at local ASHRAE chapter meetings.
- Stay knowledgeable about local rebate programs for VFDs; participate in local trade shows.
- Stay informed on industry trends and discuss HVAC and VFDs knowledgeably, including comparisons with non-ABB products.
Technical Skills:
- Strong technical knowledge of VFDs, HVAC systems, and protocols (BACnet).
- Implement and support training initiatives; communicate clearly in groups and one-on-one.
- Test and troubleshoot electrical and mechanical systems; work on electrical equipment up to 600 VAC safely.
- Read and understand electrical schematics and one-line diagrams.
Requirements:
- Bachelor’s degree in a technical field (Electrical or Mechanical Engineering preferred) or technical school training (Associate's degree) with a relevant focus, or similar military technical training.
- At least 3-5 years of hands-on support of HVAC or similar equipment involving VFDs.
- An active electrical license or equivalent experience (military service) is a plus.
