Troubleshoot relay operations, nuisance trips, breaker failures, and protection/control issues.

Generate accurate field reports, test documentation, and commissioning records.

Support planned outages, startup activities, emergency callouts, and field service projects.

Follow all OSHA, NFPA 70E, customer, and company safety requirements.

Maintain testing equipment, tools, and company vehicle in proper working condition.

Travel to customer and project sites throughout the region with occasional overnight stays.
