Duties and responsibilities
Installs, tests, adjusts, calibrates, repairs, and troubleshoots electrical power system protective relaying, control, alarm, metering, remote
control and telemetering facilities.
Performs as a work director and trains subordinate technicians in more complex areas of relaying, control, and metering system.
Determines materials and equipment required for construction and maintenance; submits detailed lists to Supervisor for approval; orders
Coordinates and schedules power outages with affected organizations as required to perform routine maintenance or make repairs on
power system facilities.
E. Acquires clearances, performs switching, receives work permits under the direction of the Power Dispatcher or Senior Electric System
Operator, and restores equipment to service; when such activities are required to perform work in a timely manner.
F. Receives instruction from and coordinates work with Relay Engineering on protective relaying installation, modification and
troubleshooting. Notifies Relay Engineers of all field changes in order to maintain up-to-date records. Makes revisions to drawings to keep
them current and reflect the actual situation in the field. Forwards the information for incorporation into company records. Maintains a
continuing up-to-date audit of all equipment worked on, including; nameplate data, conditions, settings, past malfunctions and corrections
required. Documents conditions found, adjustments made, calibrations settings, final condition of equipment, etc., for forwarding to the Relay
Engineers and incorporation into their records.
