Position Summary:

The Electrical Controls Technician 2 (ECT2) is an Electrician with expertise in industrial control applications and CAD based electrical drawing. Working in the municipal water and wastewater industry, the ECT 2 is responsible for surveying existing motor control cabinets and instrumentation, creating detailed electrical drawings of control panels and how they will integrate to the surveyed field equipment, as well as installing, wiring and starting up the completed panels. While this role does not involve programming PLCs, it does require a strong understanding of electrical systems, dry-contact control loops, 4-20mA analog signals and physically integrating equipment to PLCs. The ability to interpret technical specifications and requirements as well as document them is critical.

• Select appropriate electrical components, equipment, and materials when integration with control systems deviates from initial design.

• Execute Product Acceptance Tests (PATs) on panels as there are produced, and work SCADA Controls Technicians (SCTs - PLC programmers) to resolve any issues discovered.

• Assist installation crews as needed, with installation of panels and their enclosures.

• Terminate wiring from field devices to control panels, and test operation. In some instances termination or modification may need to be performed on the field equipment as well.

• Fully document the completion and startup of the panel at the customer’s location and update project drawings and documentation to an as-built status.

• Advanced troubleshooting of network, digital and 4-20mA analog control and monitoring circuits, PLC automation and SCADA interfaces.
