THE OPPORTUNITY:

Are you an experienced Electrical & Instrumentation Technician? Are you interested in a meaningful career that enhances and improves the quality of life throughout the region? Do you want to serve the communities in the Inland Empire region to meet the dynamic and growing needs of recycled water demand, wastewater collection, treatment and disposal needs? If you are an experienced Electrical & Instrumentation Technician in the operations and maintenance of electrical equipment, the Inland Empire Utilities Agency (IEUA) has an exciting opportunity for you as Electrical & Instrumentation Technician IV!

 

THE POSITION:

Under limited supervision, leads and participates in the work of other employees engaged in the construction, installation, testing, calibration, maintenance and repair of electrical systems and process control instrumentation systems and related equipment used in the production, treatment, storage, transmission and distribution of wastewater and water; performs advanced preventative maintenance tasks; performs, facilitates and generates root cause analysis reports; assists in project management and may provide oversight for special projects; and performs related duties as assigned.

 

DISTINGUISHING CHARACTERISTICS:

Electrical & Instrument Technician IV is the advanced skill level and working lead class in the Elec­trical & Instrument Technician class series and is fully competent in both electrical systems and process control instrumentation testing and maintenance. Incumbents provide oversight of the preven­tive/pre­dictive main­tenance program including data analysis and provide input into the maintenance strategy for the equipment. In addition to performing the full range of journey-level to advanced journey-level skilled duties, incumbents serve as the working lead person of journey-level Electrical & Instrument Technicians and related maintenance personnel, coordinating and overseeing the work, and providing training and guidance to employees engaged in the area of electrical system or process control instrumentation installa­tion, testing, mainten­ance and repair.

Employees in this class typically report to an Operations, Maintenance, Compost or Facilities Program Supervisor and provide lead work direction and guidance to Electrical & Instrument Technicians.

Electrical & Instrument Technician IV is distinguished from Maintenance Supervisors in that incumbents in the latter class have full supervisory responsibilities and more complex maintenance planning and administrative duties.
