The Challenge
At TURBINE‑X Energy, our Shop Leads are working leaders—trusted technical experts who guide teams, set the standard, and keep complex builds moving safely and efficiently. As a Shop Lead for Electrical, Instrumentation & Controls, (independent roles for 3 different shop bays) you’ll oversee daily shop floor execution across electrical, instrumentation, and controls workstreams, ensuring installations, wiring, panels, and systems are built correctly the first time
This role is ideal for a senior I/E tech, electrician, or controls specialist who’s ready to step into leadership, someone who can manage people, solve problems in real time, and partner with Engineering, Quality, and Manufacturing to deliver high‑quality industrial energy equipment.
About TURBINE-X Energy
Modular power to give back with endless energy.
We started with a simple idea, that power shouldn’t be limited by brand or bias. Too many providers only support their own equipment, and we set out to change that. In 2020, we started building a team of experts fluent across every major power platform — turbine, reciprocating engine, balance of plant, and beyond — to help our clients choose what’s right, not just what’s sold.
From that foundation, we’ve grown into the world’s leading provider of cross-platform power solutions for evolving energy systems — helping industrial, oil & gas, mining, and data center clients operate with confidence across North America.
But what really powers us isn’t technology — it’s people.
We believe in building a workplace where everyone feels empowered, supported, and inspired to do their best work — and have fun doing it. When you join TURBINE-X, you become part of a team that listens first, solves problems together, and delivers the X-FACTOR experience our clients rely on.
Here, you’ll be part of something bigger — helping industries transition to cleaner, smarter, more reliable energy while growing your own expertise in a culture built on excellence, kindness, and innovation.
The future of power is bright.
