Duties of a troubleman are to respond to customer problems and make sure that there is no hazard and they have correct voltage. Another part of my duties are to respond to 911 calls, wire down, car hit poles, area out, part light, structure fires, and any other types of electrical hazards.

During an area outage or a circuit lockout we respond to identify the problem, remove the hazard and start switching the circuit to pick up as much load as possible to reduce customer minutes of interruption. Once the problem has been identified we send a repair order to the district so the crews are able to come out with the correct material to complete the repairs if it is something I’m not able to repair myself. Customer meets to disconnect or reconnect after they have had a panel upgrade. With a second troubleman we also switch on underground switches such as gas switches. All underground switching is done after we identify structure location, climate, switch attitude and cable tags. In the field we switch on many different types of apparatus and other equipment such as regulators, remote control switches and automatic recloses, capacitor banks, pole switches, PME, and all types of different generation. But the most important duty as a troubleman is our safety and the safety of others.

We are also responsible for the district circuit to patrol and recognize any future problems and maintain circuit reliability if an issue is found we create an E1P2 notification that needs to brought up to standards within two years.

Once the problem has been identified we send a repair order to the district so the crews are able to come out with the correct material to complete the repairs if it is something I’m not able to repair myself. Using SAP we create an E1P1 that's tied to the FLOC to geta work order created. Switching for the contractors so they can perform their work.

Manage and supervise over bargaining unit employees, apprentices and groundman. I oversee the underground detail inspector making sure that we complete and comply with all due date, standards, quality control and infractions. As the gatekeeper I review all E1P2 notifications that the inspector, and Ecrew foreman find in the field. While reviewing E1P2 I have to ensure that they fit the criteria's. if they don't fit the criteria and needs to be moved to E1P1 status for immediate repairs. With our apprentices I make sure that they stay up with their studies, tasks, book and questions. Testing them in their knowledge and skills every 6 months to ensure that they are successful and skilled lineman after their 3 year apprentice ship. As for our groundman I hold class to prepare them for the next step in their career. We teach safety protocol, material recognition, rigging, truck operation, framing, standards and climbing. As a General Foreman I oversee crews on emergent and storm work while restoring lines to service during and after hours then follow up with a report to communicate with the district informing them of the

status.
