  • Practical experience with PLC, FMCS and industrial power monitoring systems.

Work Environment

  • Frequently enter Class 100/1000 cleanroom areas and mechanical equipment rooms for on-site technical investigation.
  • Regular work in high/low voltage electrical rooms, rooftop power equipment areas and cleanroom production floors.
  • Must wear insulated PPE when conducting high-voltage inspection, testing and maintenance work.
  • Comply with lockout-tagout (LOTO) procedures and all site electrical safety management rules.
