Job description

The Low-Medium Voltage Maintenance Technician / Electrician performs technical and electrical work focused on the inspection, preventative maintenance, repair, and ongoing reliability of low-to-medium voltage power distribution equipment and industrial electrical apparatus (up to 15kV). This role ensures the uninterrupted operation of facility distribution systems through expert diagnostics, routine servicing, and physical troubleshooting rather than new installation testing. This position also provides guidance to junior technicians and assists in optimizing existing preventative maintenance programs.

• Execute scheduled preventative maintenance, thorough inspections, and corrective repairs on low-to-medium voltage electrical apparatus, including switchgear, circuit breakers, transformers, switchboards, and motor control centers (MCCs)
• Perform routine equipment servicing such as breaker racking, contact dressing, cleaning, insulation resistance (Megger) testing, secondary injection testing, and relay operational checks
• Diagnose and repair complex electrical and electromechanical malfunctions using multimeters, power analyzers, thermal imaging, and wiring schematics to restore power distribution systems safely
• Read and interpret electrical single-line diagrams (SLDs), schematic drawings, control wiring diagrams, and manufacturer maintenance manuals
• Maintain clear and accurate maintenance logs, inspection findings, test results, and service histories within the asset management system
• Lead field maintenance operations while maintaining strict adherence to safe work practices, arc-flash protection, and Lockout/Tagout (LOTO) protocols in accordance with NFPA 70E
• Collaborate with facility engineers and system operations to schedule maintenance outages and minimize operational downtime
• Assist in developing and refining preventative electrical maintenance schedules, standardized procedures, and safety guidelines
• Train and mentor apprentice electricians and technicians in maintenance techniques, electrical diagnostics, and field safety practices
• Respond to critical equipment failures, power outages, and electrical emergencies outside of normal operating hours as needed

Education & Experience

• Associate degree in Electrical Technology, Power Systems, or a related field (equivalent military, industrial utility experience, or electrician apprenticeship/journeyman training accepted)
• 3–5 years of hands-on experience in low-to-medium voltage (up to 15kV) electrical maintenance, equipment servicing, and system troubleshooting
• Demonstrated experience working with industrial power distribution apparatus, switchgear, and routine maintenance test equipment

Certifications & Licenses

• Journeyman Electrician License, NICET Electrical Power Testing/Maintenance Certification, or equivalent preferred
• OSHA 10/30, First Aid/CPR, and Lockout/Tagout (LOTO) certifications preferred
• Valid driver’s license with a clean driving record required

Knowledge & Skills

• Strong knowledge of low-and-medium voltage distribution systems, switchgear operations, motor controls, and circuit breaker mechanics
• Proficiency with standard maintenance diagnostics tools (e.g., insulation resistance testers, thermal cameras, secondary injection test sets, multimeters)
• Solid understanding of electrical safety codes and standards, specifically NEC and NFPA 70E
• Strong mechanical aptitudes and logical troubleshooting skills with attention to detail
• Ability to work independently and lead small maintenance crews in the field under minimal supervision
• Effective written and verbal communication skills for clear documentation and crew leadership

Physical & Operational Requirements

• Ability to lift up to 70 lbs
• Perform physical electrical labor, including climbing ladders, standing for extended periods, and operating hand/power tools
• Work outdoors in various weather conditions and within industrial environment spaces
• Travel up to 75% nationwide (including regular driving and commercial flights)
• Must be able to work overtime and extended out-of-town stays as needed
• Must pass a pre-employment drug screen, criminal background check, and be legally authorized to work in the U.S.
