HIGH Voltage Electrician Security Clearance

Position: HIGH VOLTAGE ELECTRICIAN with Security Clearance
Location: Otis

Duties
1. Installs, modifies, tests, repairs, and maintains transformers, converters, regulators, cables,switches, circuit breakers, mechanical and electronic systems, and other circuit elements found insubstations. Adjusts relays and control equipment to obtain specified voltage, current, time delay, and other characteristics for appropriate holding, tripping, or other operational functions.

Constructs and installs rigid conduits. Pulls in conductors, assembles bus bars, and phases out andconnects conductors. Cleans, adjusts, and repairs electrical equipment such as air and oil circuitbreakers and remote-control supervisory equipment. Checks condition of transformers, switches,capacitor equipment, and cables. Checks transformer operating temperatures and voltage atsecondary terminals and makes repairs to defective, loose, or corroded connections. Trainsand/or guides lower graded or less experienced employees as required.

Ensures tasks are performed in compliance with National Electrical Safety Codes. With few exceptions, accuratelydetermines and uses procedures, materials, equipment, and sequences that are acceptable foraccomplishing assigned tasks; and complies with established codes and directives. Routinelyperforms tasks in a timely and efficient manner. 25% 2. Installs, modifies, connects, inspects, and repairs overhead and underground electrical distribution lines. Services lines, breakers, disconnect switches, transformers, insulators,grounding systems, fuses, poles (metal and wood), relays, meters, lightning arresters, cathodic protection systems, traffic lights, street and floodlight systems, airfield lighting systems, andpower supplies.

Strings wires and hoists conductors up to the cross arms. Pulls wires to propertension or sag based on space, length, type, and size of conductors, prevailing temperature, and loading district. Installs and pull cables underground from source of feed-through ducts. Installspoles and replacement of cross arms. Provides technical assistance to lower-grade or lesserexperience employees as required. Ensure tasks are performed in compliance with National Electric Safety Codes.

Almost always perform repairs. modifications, connections, and/orinstallations in a timely, efficient, and complete manner. With few exceptions, ensures tasksperformed are following accepted trade practices and procedures. 25% 3. Troubleshoots distribution circuits and generating and controlling equipment. Makesemergency repairs and substitutions of power lines and equipment, sometimes working ondistribution systems when they are energized. Troubleshoot overhead and underground cablesystems to locate shorts, opens, grounds, electrolysis damages, capacitance imbalances, or cablebreaks.

Locates and marks electrical underground utilities prior to excavation. Checks groundwire connections and cables for cracks, breaks, and corrosion. Routinely provides reliabletroubleshooting of distribution circuits and generating and controlling equipment to locate and correct the causes of outages and improper operations. Almost always accurately locatesbreakdowns and trouble spots on distribution lines by power failure reports, line inspections, anduse of various electrical testing instruments.

20% 4. Utilizes safety practices and procedures following established safety rules and regulations and maintains a safe and clean work environment. Frequently works on high voltage electrical systems when they are "hot," using necessary safety equipment, methods, and precautions. Usesand assures proper fit of required safety equipment and clothing. Consistently operatesequipment in a safe manner, applying established safety rules and regulations to minimize minorviolations and to avoid major violations due to employee error or negligence.

With rareexception, promptly informs the supervisor of any accident and/or damage to supplies or equipment or of any observed unsafe practices and/or procedures. 20% 5. Uses and maintains various hand and power tools and test equipment such as oscillators,meggers, phase sticks, phase rotation meters, digital test equipment, and cable locating and fault-finding equipment.
