Hello All,
Long time reader, first time poster. I want to start off by saying 'thank you' to everyone who contributes to this page. I have worked as an electrical engineer for 12 years and have often benefitted from the advice given here at MikeHolt.com
That being said, I have recently started my own LLC (ListoTech Solutions) in Ohio, with the intention of offering electrical engineering and technical services similar to what I have done the past 12 years as a W2 employee (mostly in the industrial material handling field). My experience consists of project management, electrical design and schematic creation for automated conveyor systems utilizing 24VDC/120VAC/480VAC power, as well as panel design and panel building. I also have experience on the install side with installing these systems and commissioning/troubleshooting. I plan to focus my services on the design of automated systems and the install/setup and troubleshooting of these types of systems. I have my LLC set up as well as carry General Liability Insurance. I have a bachelor's in Electrical Engineering. I am also pretty familiar with the NEC and some UL listing as well. Some work will be performed outside of Ohio in other states.
My questions are the following:
- What licenses or certifications, etc. should I be trying to obtain to perform this sort of work in industrial settings? Up to this point I have worked as a W2 employee for a conveyor company and have never been required to get any special licenses besides my bachelors' degree in electrical engineering.
-What types of insurance should I be looking to have? I currently have just General Liability for electrical work, but will need to add E&O (Erros and Emissions) pretty soon.
Any advice is appreciated! I want to do my best to follow all legal guidelines to protect myself and the customer.
Thanks,
Sam
