Job Summary
We are seeking a Field Test Coordinator to support field validation activities and execution for an active project involving engine-powered equipment.

A major focus of this role is managing complex equipment repower activities, including coordinating and supporting engine installations, validation, and troubleshooting in real-world field environments.
Ideal candidates are self-starters who can juggle multiple stakeholders, understand how engines integrate into equipment/chassis, and communicate effectively across global teams.

- Ensure alignment across teams and hold stakeholders accountable to milestones
- Identify risks early and escalate issues to keep projects on track
- Balance multiple workstreams and competing priorities effectively
- Document field activities, project status, and key updates for stakeholders
Required Qualifications
- Hands-on experience with repower activities (engine installation/replacement)
- Strong understanding of engines and how they integrate into equipment/chassis systems
- Proven project management / coordination experience
- Strong ability to manage multiple stakeholders and priorities simultaneously
- Excellent communication skills across cross-functional and global teams
- Self-starter with the ability to work independently and drive outcomes
- Willingness to travel domestically and to Canada
Preferred Qualifications
- Experience working with OEMs
- Field testing or validation experience
- Strong troubleshooting experience with mechanical or engine systems
- Experience working with cross-functional and international teams
- Background in powertrain, heavy equipment, or industrial engines
Work Environment

- Fast-paced, project-driven environment with global collaboration
- Blend of coordination, communication, and hands-on field support
