About The Position

Follows established work procedures and written maintenance instructions for diagnosing and remedying improper performance of equipment found in a power plant. Tests, inspects, repairs, replaces, overhauls, and installs all types of complex circuits and equipment, diagnoses trouble, and makes repairs with minimum interference to systems. This often necessitates performing work on live energized equipment and conductors of any voltage in accordance with applicable safety rules and approved work procedures. Performs complex diagnostic testing and utilizes other test equipment, analyzing and interpreting results. Diagnoses sources of trouble where one or more systems are involved to correct improper performance of equipment; repairs, overhauls and adjusts as required to transformers, circuit breakers, potential transformers, motors, switchgear, cables and catheads, control drives and similar equipment. Must be skilled in the use of specialized electrical test equipment such as meggers, ducters, hi-pots, oscilloscopes, frequency and pulse generators, recorders and various electrical metering devices to perform the required preventive maintenance, troubleshooting and repairs. Performs analysis based on collected data, and recommends course of action and/or isolates the malfunction; and repairs malfunctioning equipment or controls.

Assists in developing, evaluation and implementation of work schedules, work packages, material requests, contract requisitions and plant procedures to determine appropriate manpower, equipment, and all materials are available to complete assigned work in a timely manner which can also involve interfacing and interacting with vendors. Under the direction of a Competent Person erects self-supporting scaffolds of any height. Performs work from self-supporting structures of any height including full boiler scaffolding. Performs work from hanging scaffolds, man lifts, spiders, or similar support devices up to a height of 75 feet. Operates and works from aerial devices such as: bucket or platform trucks and various hydraulic telescoping man-lifts (up to 175' height rating) Supplies and transfers tools and equipment by handling ropes, tying knots, and doing simple rigging and hoisting. Operates auxiliary mounted equipment (except bucket truck), operates trenchers, skid loaders, backhoes, boring machines and material handling equipment such as forklifts. Directs and performs work to build and repair complex splices and terminations on all types of cable and in the installation and maintenance of relay and control systems. Performs switching, voltage checks, submits clearance requests and holds clearance orders in performance of the above-mentioned work Performs rigging such as moving, placing, hanging or erecting structures, transformers, circuit breakers, switching devices, and machinery. Operates permanently mounted hoists of any kind. Performs paperwork and uses computer-based systems associated with job duties Keeps personal and shop tools and equipment in good working order and maintains good housekeeping and safety in the working areas. Maintains thorough knowledge and complies with appropriate safety related plans and procedures such as safety meetings, Job Safety Analyses, tailboards. Reads and interprets drawings, prints, diagrams, etc., and makes sketches and diagrams to facilitate work. Updates, revises and submits changes as required.
