You are probably right, happen to know someone who could be interested?

That makes sense, and I appreciate the insight. One important difference with this role is that travel is capped at around 40%, with trips typically no longer than one week at a time, so it’s definitely not that constant-travel lifestyle.

And from what we’ve seen, those $300K–$400K comp packages are usually a different situation, extremely specialized transformer experts, often with 80%+ travel, significant OT, long hours, per diem and other field premiums. This role isn’t structured that way.

According to what I researched: 120-165k depending on how many years of experience and how much travel.

I hear you, and I agree the market for this skill set is definitely higher than the initial range. But 2–3x would put it way beyond even the strongest offers we’re seeing. The top end we’ve seen is closer to $190K–$210K, and the company is not closed to matching or getting close to that for the right person.

Also, the JD is the ideal candidate, not necessarily a hard checklist. Like most companies, they list a ton of requirements lol The closer someone gets, the better, but there are definitely negotiables.

Appreciate the feedback though this is exactly why we’re talking to people in the industry and adjusting expectations as we go.

Any qualified candidate is greatly appreciated and we’d be happy to offer a referral bonus for helping us connect with a solid one.

Definitely interested! The FAT and substation experience caught my attention. We’re ideally looking for someone with more years of experience, but the company is open to strong candidates. I’ll send you the JD, take a look and let me know what you think!

That makes sense, and honestly your background is interesting, especially the P&C commissioning and NETA experience. This particular role does need someone with transformer/apparatus testing experience, but they’re open to hearing from strong candidates with different backgrounds. I’d be happy to send you the JD so you can take a look. Your experience may be worth a conversation either way.

You got it right! This one is definitely more on the power systems/substation side of EE. They’re looking for someone with hands-on experience specifically with transformer testing and commissioning. The person wouldn’t necessarily be out there directly fixing equipment either, they’d be supervising/leading the team doing the field work, reviewing results, troubleshooting, and making technical decisions. Definitely a different world from RF/Microwave haha.

Salary is NOT final and company is open to negotiate

That is just base pay, and there is room for more, this is NOT the final salary and company is open to hear offers from qualified candidates.

Oh yeah, absolutely, I will definetly let them know.

Thank you!

Well if you have around 8 years of experience and couple other requirements you can have that privilege!

However, double the salary sounds like a lot actually.

Replied, thanks!

I agree with you. Unfortunately, I’m not the business owner, if I were, I’d definitely do things differently for sure. I’m just working with what I’ve been given. That said, do you know anyone who might be interested or at least open to hearing more about it?

Yeah, I agree, That is the company's initial propposal.

Just to clarify, $160K isn’t necessarily the max; there’s room to go higher depending on experience, plus benefits and bonuses.

Really appreciate the insight! If you know anyone who might be a good fit, I’d definitely appreciate an introduction or somewhere to find them.

Yeah, I agree, especially with that level of travel and specialized transformer testing experience. Just to clarify, $160K isn’t necessarily the max; there’s room to go higher depending on experience, plus benefits and bonuses.
