Schedule: Rotating 12-hour shifts, including nights, weekends, and holidays as required

Reports To: Site O&M Lead / Program Manager — PRISMECS

Start Date: September 1,2026

PRISMECS is seeking an experienced Electrical O&M Technician to support a 40 MW diesel-generator power plant in Odessa, Texas.

The Electrical O&M Technician is responsible for the day-to-day electrical operation, inspection, monitoring, and maintenance of the medium-voltage and low-voltage distribution systems supporting the temporary power facility. This includes switch gear, transformers, protective relays, circuit breakers, generator electrical systems, and associated electrical balance-of-plant equipment.

Candidates must have hands-on experience with medium-voltage electrical systems, switch gear operations, and generator synchronization or paralleling activities. This position requires rotating 12-hour shift coverage.

• Perform daily inspection and monitoring of MV switch gear (Load SWGR Lineup #1 & #2), breakers, and transformers — voltage, load current, relay status, breaker position
• Monitor generator electrical parameters (voltage, frequency, load, power factor) and support synchronization/paralleling operations
• Conduct routine electrical inspections and preventive maintenance on switch gear, breakers, and transformers
• Support protective relay operations, breaker racking, and troubleshooting of electrical faults (trips, alarms, fuse failures)
• Assist with energization/de-energization sequences, LOTO procedures, and switching operations per approved switching orders
• Maintain and update the switching log and electrical operations records
• Identify and report electrical abnormalities (overheating, unusual noise, smoke, relay alarms) immediately to the O&M Lead
• Complete daily/shift electrical logs and support commissioning/testing activities as needed
• Support EHS compliance — arc flash PPE, LOTO, and safe electrical work practices
• Participate in toolbox talks and safety briefings

• 3+ years of experience in MV electrical systems, switch gear, and generator paralleling operations (industrial/power generation preferred)
• Working knowledge of protective relays, breakers, and MV switch gear operations
• Experience with generator control/synchronization panels (e.g., Woodward Easy Gen) preferred
• Ability to read single-line diagrams and electrical schematics
• Strong troubleshooting and electrical safety awareness (NFPA 70E / arc flash awareness)
• Willingness to work rotating 12-hour shifts, including nights/weekends
• OSHA 10/30 and NFPA 70E training preferred; journeyman electrician license a plus
