Work History
Electrical Engineering Technician – Power Systems
Eaton LLC
03.2022 - Current
- Worked fully on-site supporting industrial and mission-critical electrical facilities, providing hands-on technical support for installation verification, testing, troubleshooting, and operational readiness of electrical power systems.
- Supported installation, inspection, and commissioning of facility transformers (dry-type and oil-filled), including grounding and bonding verification, torque validation, insulation resistance testing, equipment labeling, and coordination during energization and load transfer activities.
- Assisted with testing and validation of medium- and low-voltage electrical distribution systems, including transformers, switchgear, UPS systems, ATS, PDUs, panelboards, and grounding networks, in compliance with NEC (NFPA 70/70E), IEEE, NETA, and ASHRAE commissioning guidelines.
- Performed pre-functional checks, functional testing, and acceptance testing, verifying alarms, interlocks, redundancy paths, and system readiness prior to placing equipment into service.
- Reviewed and verified field installations against single-line diagrams (SLDs), electrical layouts, transformer drawings, grounding plans, and as-built documentation, identifying discrepancies early and supporting corrective actions that reduced rework and commissioning delays by 25%.
- Worked closely with engineering teams, field electricians, commissioning personnel, and equipment vendors during transformer energization, scheduled maintenance activities, and power system cutovers, following approved Method of Procedure (MOP) and formal change management processes.
- Participated in Root Cause Analysis (RCA) investigations for electrical incidents and equipment anomalies, supporting corrective actions to improve system reliability and operational performance.
- Followed strict LOTO procedures, arc-flash safety requirements, energized work permits, and PPE standards while working in live electrical environments with high reliability expectations.
