A Breaker Shop Technician supports a NETA-accredited electrical testing operation by repairing, refurbishing, and testing low-, medium-, and high-voltage circuit breakers and related power distribution equipment. This role ensures every breaker leaving the shop meets ANSI/NETA ATS/MTS standards, performs reliably, and is safe for field deployment.

Success in this role requires strong mechanical aptitude, comfort with electrical test equipment, and a commitment to precision and safety.

Core Responsibilities

• Perform mechanical and electrical refurbishment of LV/MV/HV circuit breakers, including cleaning, part replacement, lubrication, and mechanism adjustments.
• Conduct diagnostic testing—contact resistance, insulation resistance, timing, Hi-Pot, and primary/secondary injection—and evaluate results against manufacturer tolerances and NETA standards.
• Document all work clearly and accurately for internal QA and customer reporting.
• Maintain a safe, organized shop environment and follow NFPA 70E and company safety procedures.
• Support field teams by preparing breakers and related equipment for deployment.

• High school diploma or equivalent
• Hands-on mechanical experience
• Ability to read schematics and technical manuals.
• Familiarity with test equipment such as DLROs, Meggers, Dobles, and primary injection sets is valuable.
• Experience in a NETA environment or pursuit of NETA Level 1 or 2 certification is a strong plus
