Electrician/Electrical Maintenance Position

The Electrical Reliability Specialist supports long-term reliability improvement efforts for electrical equipment, including 138kV SF6 breakers, GIS switchgear, large synchronous motors, MV switchgear and breakers, oil-filled transformers, protective relays, H/M/L voltage cables, UPS and DC systems, bus duct (non-seg and Iso phase), and HV switch yards.

This role focuses on improving asset reliability by leveraging equipment condition monitoring, implementing robust asset strategies, and supporting defect elimination efforts.

Hence, key responsibilities include enhancing the early detection of equipment degradation through improved condition monitoring programs, preventing failures through optimized asset strategies, and eliminating chronic/high-cost equipment failures by determining and addressing their root causes.

Success in this role requires building cross-functional alignment to ensure shared understanding, commitment, and support for reliability-focused initiatives.

Additionally, the Electrical Reliability Specialist serves as a champion for reliability best practices and actively mentors others to build a proactive, reliability-centered culture across the organization.
