Follows established work procedures and written maintenance instructions for diagnosing and remedying improper performance of equipment found in a power plant. Tests, inspects, repairs, replaces, overhauls, and installs all types of complex circuits and equipment, diagnoses trouble, and makes repairs with minimum interference to systems. This often necessitates performing work on live energized equipment and conductors of any voltage in accordance with applicable safety rules and approved work procedures.

Performs complex diagnostic testing and utilizes other test equipment, analyzing and interpreting results. Diagnoses sources of trouble where one or more systems are involved to correct improper performance of equipment; repairs, overhauls and adjusts as required to transformers, circuit breakers, potential transformers, motors, switch gear, cables and catheads, control drives and similar equipment. Must be skilled in the use of specialized electrical test equipment such as meggers, ducters, hi-pots, oscilloscopes, frequency and pulse generators, recorders and various electrical metering devices to perform the required preventive maintenance, troubleshooting and repairs.

Performs analysis based on collected data, and recommends course of action and/or isolates the malfunction; and repairs malfunctioning equipment or controls. Inspects, troubleshoots, maintains, repairs, upgrades obsolete instrumentation after specifying suitable replacement(s), installs, adjusts and calibrates, as assigned, station instrumentation and control systems (mechanical, electrical, pneumatic, hydraulic, or electronic), such as, but not limited to: boiler combustion control, feedwater control, superheat and reheat temperature control, water systems, chemical feed controls, water and air systems pressure controls, system pressure reducing and de-superheating controls, level controls, water treatment controls, heating and ventilating controls, EHC systems, computer equipment, CEM systems, flow meters, temperature pressure and level devices, recorders, transmitters and receivers used in instrumentation, monitoring instruments, portable tests and survey instruments, plant laboratory instruments and environmental instruments, and distributed control systems.

Performs disassembly, reassembly, overhaul, repair, testing, adjusting, replacing and cleaning of all types of electrical equipment found in a generating station including overhauling electric motors, alignment on electrical motors and couplings, high-speed switching devices, large power transformers, high voltage and low voltage witchgear, motors, and associated equipment. Conducts electrical tests and makes necessary repairs to electrical and electronic circuitry such as static inverters, CRT’s, television cameras, excitation system, automatic synchronizing equipment, primary trip relays, and uninterruptable power supplies.

Directs, instructs and trains employees in the maintenance, testing, calibration, installation, repair and proper functioning of all electrical, instrumentation, and control systems including advising and assisting operating personnel and technical personnel to interpret indications and intelligence provided by various instruments, and to differentiate between equipment and instrument malfunction. Assumes responsibility and assures that a job--from diagnosis through disassembly, repair, reassembly, retest and final cleanup--is completed in accordance with approved maintenance, QA, and other applicable procedures, regulations and programs.

Assists in developing, evaluation and implementation of work schedules, work packages, material requests, contract requisitions and plant procedures to determine appropriate manpower, equipment, and all materials are available to complete assigned work in a timely manner which can also involve interfacing and interacting with vendors.
