  • Strong application knowledge of all switchgear types, including their operation, maintenance, and testing.
  • High school diploma or equivalent is required; higher vocational training (e.g., AVO Substation Maintenance) and NETA or NICET Level 1-4 certifications is preferred, but not required.
  • Ability to lift up to 50lbs, work at heights, pass a medical physical, and clear both drug and background screenings.
