Electrical Testing Technician

We are seeking a skilled and safety-focused Electrical Testing Technician to join our team in Phoenix, AZ. This role involves performing high-voltage testing, circuit breaker maintenance, and ensuring compliance with industry safety standards. The ideal candidate will have hands-on experience with electrical testing equipment and a strong understanding of power systems and protective devices.

Key Responsibilities

- Primary Injection Testing (Megger)

Operate high-current test equipment to simulate fault conditions and verify the performance of protective devices such as circuit breakers and relays. Ensure proper tripping under fault scenarios to maintain system reliability.

- Ductor Testing (Contact Resistance)

Measure resistance across electrical contacts (e.g., breakers, busbars, switches) to detect wear, corrosion, or poor connections. Ensure low resistance for efficient current flow and prevent overheating.

- Circuit Breaker Maintenance

Inspect, test, clean, and repair various types of circuit breakers (vacuum, SF6, oil-filled). Perform timing tests, insulation resistance checks, and verify trip mechanisms to ensure operational integrity.
