Job Description
Responsibilities
- Master the Testing Environment: Secure the test area, install and activate red safety lights, and meticulously verify that all circuit breakers, control fused disconnects, fuses, and miniature circuit breakers are fully open before testing.
- Execute Ground Bond Testing: Follow strict safety and sequential steps—ensure the tester is unplugged before setup, close main/feeder breakers, connect live leads from the ground bus to the ground chassis, and accurately record current readings.
- Run Hi-Pot Testing: Own the complete Dielectric Voltage Withstand sequence (unplugging the set, separating ground-neutral bonding jumpers, closing breakers, opening fuses/SPDs, and reinstalling disconnects post-test).
- Verify System Specs: Confirm that all breaker ratings, control power components, and lug sizes perfectly match the electrical single-line diagram (SLD) and wiring schematics.
- Run Live Functionality Tests: Safely connect the 480VAC utility source to thoroughly test and validate the real-world functionality of each and every component in the system.
- Finalize Safety Labeling: Apply all required warning stickers and safety labels to the switchboard equipment immediately following successful test completion.
Requirements
- Safety & Detail-Obsessed: You strictly follow exact step-by-step procedures. You never cut corners when handling high voltage.
- You have a basic electrical engineering education background or direct experience with UL891 switchboard standards
- Schematic Fluent: You read and interpret electrical single-line diagrams (SLDs) and wiring schematics effortlessly.
- You are self-motivated, work exceptionally well without supervision, and are willing to put in occasional overtime to hit critical shipping deadlines.
- Experienced: You bring at least 1 year of hands-on experience testing switchboards or switchgear systems.
- An Extreme Owner: You are self-motivated, manage the testing bay with high authority, and refuse to let defective products pass your station.
- High school diploma or equivalent
