Opportunity Summary

The O&M / Electrical, Controls, and Instrumentation (EC&I) Technician supports the safe, reliable, and efficient operation of the Tejas Energy Center, a 247 MW simple-cycle facility with three LM6000 PC units and one Siemens 501 D5 gas turbine. This position combines plant operations with hands‑on electrical, controls, and instrumentation maintenance.

The role performs troubleshooting, calibration, repair, and preventive maintenance on low-voltage through 480V systems, including Allen-Bradley PLCs, MCCs, switch gear, turbine controls, and instrumentation.

Electrical, Controls & Instrumentation Systems

• Troubleshoot turbine control, auxiliary, instrumentation, and electrical systems ranging from 24V instrumentation through 480V motors, MCCs, and related equipment.
• Perform preventive and corrective maintenance on LM6000 PC units, the Siemens 501 D5 turbine, auxiliary systems, and other major plant equipment.
• Inspect, install, test, repair, and replace motors, generators, transformers, switches, wiring, instrumentation, and control equipment within assigned voltage levels.
• Interpret control logic, Allen-Bradley PLC programming, schematics, and P&IDs while using diagnostic and calibration tools to test and analyze plant systems.
• Support modifications, upgrades, and integration of turbine controls, PLC systems, instrumentation, and associated auxiliary equipment.

Operations and Equipment Support

• Operate and monitor the LM6000 PC units, Siemens 501 D5 gas turbine, and associated auxiliary and balance‑of‑plant systems, including turbine‑generator startups, shutdowns, and normal operation within established limits.
• Manage plant control and alarm conditions, including Allen‑Bradley PLC‑based controls and automatic generation control (AGC), and respond appropriately to abnormal conditions.
• Support operation and maintenance of evaporative cooling, water‑injection NOx control, selective catalytic reduction, and other emissions‑control and auxiliary systems.
• Conduct system walkdowns using P&IDs, flow diagrams, and other technical drawings to verify equipment condition and identify operating or maintenance issues.
• Complete mechanical and electrical switching, equipment isolation, and tagging activities in accordance with approved procedures and required supervision.
• Maintain accurate operating logs, work orders, preventive and predictive maintenance records, equipment files, system diagrams, operating manuals, technical references, and other required documentation.
• Coordinate spare‑parts, consumables, and inventory needs to ensure materials are available to support plant operations and maintenance activities.
• Safely operate plant vehicles, hoists, lifting equipment, hand tools, and other maintenance equipment required to perform assigned work.
• Adhere to OSHA requirements, environmental…
