Summary
The Electrician will modify, rebuild, repair, or overhaul electronic and electrical equipment and controls. May assist in installing new equipment. Applies knowledge of electronics principles in determining equipment malfunctions and applies skills in restoring equipment to operation. Maintain, repair, and calibrate electronic and pneumatic/hydraulic instrumentation systems for industrial process. Troubleshoot and repair new systems during the operational tests and improvise procedures to cope with unforeseen defects. Construct interface devices and modifications to the equipment from sketches and verbal instructions in order to refine the new system operations.

Job Duties:

Works on a variety of electrical equipment such as AC/DC motors (single, split, and three-phase), generators, starters, voltage regulators, servo mechanisms, alternators, transformers, actuators, power control panels, control sticks, instrument panels, or inverters. May rewind motors, generators, transformers, precision coils, and similar components.
May work on analog, digital, and/or temperature, logic systems, programmable controlled equipment and systems, and CNC equipment. Performs complex test and check-outs where fault isolation requires detailed knowledge and understanding of system, interfaces, test procedures, specifications and other pertinent parameters.
