ENTRY LEVEL TECHNICIAN

An entry level technician is one who has recently completed a four year degree, a two year degree, or has achieved some level of formal technical training in the private sector or in the military. We are looking for one with a basic knowledge of electrical power circuitry or instrumentation and control circuitry, along with some basic computer skills with programs such as Microsoft Word, Excel, and Power Point. We wish to see one with a good working background, one that likes working with his or her hands, using hand tools, using mechanical equipment, using sophisticated electronic equipment, and one that does not mind moderate physical working activities. We like to see one that does not mind some local traveling, usually within 300 miles of our home office. In general, an entry level employee needs to be disciplined, eager, and obtain some basic knowledge of electrical power circuitry or instrumentation and control circuitry, and some basic computer skills.

The entry level technician can expect to begin his or her career at ECP Tech Services by understanding safety within our industry. Once basic safety rules and procedures are understood and the entry level technician shows they are compliant, he or she will begin to perform as a shop and field services support technician.

As a shop service support technician, he or she would be mentored by a mid-level or senior level electrical testing technician. The entry level technician would be exposed to such equipment as low and medium voltage industrial power circuit breakers, current transformers, potential transformers, electrical sensors, control circuit schemes, automatic transfer switches, ground fault protection systems, cables, industrial motor starters, and power disconnect switches just to mention a few. Repairing, maintaining and testing this equipment will require the use of such electrical testing instruments as contact resistance test sets, primary current injection test sets, insulation resistance test sets, hi potential test sets, secondary current injection test sets, and hand held electronic devices to name a few. The entry level technician may spend two to four years learning and mastering the operation of the industrial equipment and the electrical testing equipment. The entry level technician will begin to compose test reports associated with the equipment being tested and will begin to interpret the test results. As a field service support technician, he or she would be mentored by a mid-level or senior level electrical testing technician. The entry level technician would be exposed to such equipment as low, medium, and hi voltage industrial circuit breakers, load break switches, transformers, relays, cables, grounding systems, switchgear, current transformers, potential transformers, resistors, capacitors, lightning arrestors, generators, synchronous motors, induction motors, uninterruptible power systems, battery banks, and variable speed drives to name a few. Repairing, maintaining and testing this equipment will require the use of the equipment mentioned previously with addition to three phase voltage and current test sets, power factor test sets, turns ratio test sets, polarity test sets, harmonic analysis test sets, and power systems analyzers to name a few. The entry level technician may work two to four years learning and mastering the operation of the industrial equipment and the electrical testing equipment. This exposure to such a wide variety of equipment and testing procedures is unparalleled in any other field. The entry level technician must continue to learn, develop, and emulate a proper safety practice. The entry level technician is a vital part of our daily operations.

A mid-level technician is one that has completed four to ten years as a shop and field electrical technician. The mid-level technician is given more responsibility for safety and has begun to recognize the hidden hazards associated with our industry. The mid-level technician has been exposed to all of the equipment and test procedures mentioned above. Although the mid-level technician is not yet prepared to serve as a job leader on a major project, he or she is now prepared to help train and mentor an entry level technician. The mid-level technician will serve as an extremely important part of a service team as he or she has reached the level of expertise that allows them to work with minimal instruction from the senior level technician running the job. The mid-level technician can now complete a great deal of the tasks required to complete a project. A mid-level technician has begun to learn how to interpret the test data taken from the industrial equipment testing and make recommendations as to the corrective actions that need to be taken. He or she now has achieved a level of success and confidence that allows them to troubleshoot electrical power system problems. The mid-level technician has become skilled in the art of writing accurate and complete test reports and has the ability to explain most of the anomalies found on a given project. The mid-level technician has begun to hone his or her communication skills that are a necessary part of this industry. The mid-level technician is issued a complete set of personal test equipment, a company vehicle, and the responsibility to take the lead on some of the smaller, less complicated projects that we perform on a daily basis. However, for the majority of the time, the mid-level technician will spend most of the time as an integral part of a larger project, continuing to learn and mature under the leadership of a senior level technician. Again, the exposure to such a wide variety of equipment is unparalleled in any other field. The mid-level technician must continue to learn, develop, and emulate a proper safety practice. The mid-level technician has become an extremely important and necessary part of our successful daily operations.
