Procure, repair, recalibrate, adjust, and correct defects in electrical equipment used for power distribution, grounding, lighting, instrumentation and controls, and field-based networks and communications systems.

Based on higher levels of knowledge and experience replaces or changes and suggests replacement of power line hardware, circuit boards, power equipment and other components in computer-based control and data acquisition systems. Specifically, analyses, repairs, and replaces defective parts on powerlines, transformers, motors, generators, storage batteries, switchboards, starters, conductors, switches and other industrial electrical apparatus. Reviews Installations, maintains and repairs electromechanical, electronic and electrical components of equipment and machinery, including transformers, transfer switches, exciters, generators, compressors and pneumatic and hydraulic devices. Implements a complete process of preventative and predictive maintenance through CMMS work orders and monitors their completion.

Works on 115/12kV power equipment; lightning protection systems; industrial AC/DC motors; motor controllers; motor control centers, switchgear, capacitors, power and lighting distribution panels and transformers. Works on uninterruptible power systems, cathodic protection rectifiers and grounding systems. Tests, troubleshoot, install, calibrate and performs preventive and predictive maintenance on a variety of complex electrical and electronic instruments and devices, these include programmable logic controllers (PLCs), data loggers, smart, soft start and FVNR motor control units, feeder/motor/transformer protection relays, reduced voltage auto-transformer starters, variable frequency/speed drives, smart starters and other electronic instrumentation equipment used to monitor and control oil, gas facilities.

Isolates, troubleshoot and resolves pole line and equipment and system failures, performs bench tests and repairs at the component level in a shop setting; calibrates equipment with such devices as frequency generators, voltmeters, oscilloscopes, multimeters, logic analyzers, meggers, amp meters, micro-computers, thermo-imaging devices, digital analyzers, and other specialized test equipment. Tests solid-state circuitry to locate defective parts in analog and digital equipment; replaces defective parts.

Installs major upgrades and enhancements to existing IET systems and subsystems, including conduit, wiring, optical fiber, pull boxes, switchboards, controllers, and switches. Installs motors, controls, transformers, exciters, and generators; with minimal supervision, deenergizes equipment, performs up to 12kV rated cable terminations. Understands the differences between different types of cable voltage terminations and splicing. Utilize and conducts analysis with specialized testing equipment such as thermographic imaging, transformer oil analysis, motor testing, etc. Utilizes digital cameras to perform infrared surveys and analysis of electrical distribution systems and equipment, meggers, partial discharge testing, oscilloscope, time-domain-reflect-o-meters, etc. Utilizing the data from these tests prepares reports for the Electrical Supervisor or Engineers.

With management of change (MOC) process, modifies motor control equipment control circuits, including laying out and wiring the work; reads and interprets complex blueprints, P&ID’s control and electronic schematics, instrument loop diagrams and wiring diagrams; upon completion of tasks, redlines modifications made to the system and keeps maintenance documents up to date. Supports the “as-built” documentation process. Plans and lays out work from instructions and/or work orders, using blueprints, sketches and drawings. Schedules and coordinates activities with other teams or groups.

Supports timely and accurate completion of preventive and predictive maintenance activities. Requisitions and utilize necessary tools, equipment and supplies based on equipment ratings. Reviews the research of new operational methods, techniques and equipment as recommended by subordinates and recommends their application.
