Core duties include troubleshooting, repairing, replacing, and adjusting a wide range of electrical and electronic equipment, such as AC and DC motors, circuits, Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) components, control instruments, and digital control equipment. This role involves conducting regular inspections and performance tests on electronic field equipment to ensure proper functionality across all components and systems. Additionally, the position is responsible for performing diagnostic, corrective, and preventative maintenance on highly complex electronic systems and instrumentation, including analog, pneumatic, and digital electronic equipment.

The technician monitors system functionality, maintains detailed maintenance logs, manages spare parts inventory, and assists with both internal- and contractor-based projects.
