Electrician Lead

Amentum

Manages resources and activities devoted to installation, operation, maintenance, and repair of electrical power generating and control systems. Must have knowledge of: Principles of electronics and electricity including generation, conversion, transformation, distribution, and utilization; types, capacity, and purpose of low/medium voltage circuits, circuit breakers, switches (automatic/manual type), fuses, regulators, relays, instruments, and meters associated with electric generation and distribution; interpreting instrument and meter readings; wiring diagrams, schematics, drawings and technical publications; techniques of operating and maintaining internal combustion engines, generators, generating plants, distribution panels, and accessory equipment; use and purpose of test equipment; safety rules and practices; grounding practices, environmental policies; principles of management; and operation and repair of electrical power production systems. Be responsible for all electrical systems beginning with the main distribution panel downstream of the substations. To install, inspect, maintain and repair, primary and secondary circuits and equipment in facilities to include motors and motor control circuits. To be able to perform routine operational checks, using operational manuals at a minimum, and repair as required to ensure the electrical distribution system is operational and properly phased and balanced. Will need to follow safety measures IAW Air Force Electrical Explosive Safety (4E-F37/645-F21 (MC).

Installs, modifies, repairs, maintains, troubleshoots loads and tests new and installed equipment including secondary distribution lines and circuits used to supply distribution panels, high intensity lighting systems, motor controls, switchboards, power and control circuits, electrical intrusion alarm wiring, and cathodic protection systems. Working from, and on occasion developing building plans, blueprints, wiring diagrams, and determines the routing placement, type, size, gauge, balance load, continuity, and safe operation of electrical lines, circuits, systems, equipment, and controls. Skilled in sizing, planning and installing cable trays, buss ducts, conduit, and non-metallic sheathed cables making electrical connections by splicing and/or other methods. Coordinates and negotiates with the military officials on local, state and federal electrical code and best engineering practices. Obtains, provides oversight and administers the electrical construction and maintenance permits used by the Company in the performance of work. Must know and apply the principles, materials, and safety standards applicable to the electrical trade: including interpretation of plans, blueprints and engineering designs: use of tools and test equipment and ability to plan and competently accomplish assigned duties. Installs, connects, maintains, troubleshoots and adjusts single phase, three phase, variable speed motors and ancillary equipment ranging from fractional horsepower up to 150 horsepower. Calculates motor protection in control circuits and determines overload sizes and required phase protection. Troubleshoots sub panels to determine and correct load balance on phases. Develops load equalizing panel schedules using the appropriate mathematical equations and performs a wide array of electrical circuit tests for insulation dielectric resistance, voltage wave form, transient voltage and harmonics, power factor, AC and DC circuits and facility grounding systems. Other duties as assigned.
