- Preparation and termination of electrical circuits
- Reading and interpreting technical drawings
- Troubleshooting electrical instrumentation and mechanical equipment, identifying issues, and presenting technical solutions
- Configuration of instrumentation
- Testing electrical systems incorporating PLCs, HMIs, VFDs, and relays
- Commissioning of special-build equipment, both electrically and mechanically
- Maintaining quality standards: performing incoming and outgoing quality control tests, inspections, and repairs of all plant and field equipment
- Conducting electrical inspection and testing (EIC, EICR, and PAT)
