completion of this work. This job is typically found in an academic
support or research environment.
PRIMARY DUTIES
1. Maintains critical systems reliability through the use and application
of test and analysis instruments to include thermograpic imaging, vibration
analysis, ultrasonic detection, precision alignment, electrical signature
and motor analysis instruments.
2. Operates, tests and maintains high voltage electrical equipment to
include 15kv air-switches, dry and liquid filled transformers, thermal and
electronic trip circuit breakers, distribution and safety equipment,
wiring, ducts and conduits.
3. Tests with appropriate technique, tools and instruments, analyzes and
interprets data from circuit breaker, insulation and contact resistance,
control relay and transformer turns ratios testing. Adjusts, repairs or
