Strong experience operating, maintaining, and troubleshooting utility-scale solar PV systems.
Working knowledge of single-axis tracker systems, including tracker controllers, motors, slew drives, dampers, communication issues, alignment problems, and mechanical failures.
Experience with central inverter platforms, including startup, shutdown, fault resets, insulation monitoring faults, DC input issues, AC output issues, cooling systems, filters, fans, contactors, and power electronics alarms.
Ability to troubleshoot PV strings, combiner boxes, DC feeders, inverters, transformers, medium-voltage collection systems, and substation equipment.
Understanding of DC and AC electrical systems used in large-scale solar power plants.
Ability to identify abnormal plant conditions that affect safety, reliability, availability, and production.

High-Voltage Substation Skills

Experience working in or around medium-voltage and high-voltage substations.
Familiarity with substation equipment including breakers, disconnect switches, hook switches, transformers, PTs, CTs, surge arresters, relays, batteries, chargers, SCADA cabinets, and control circuits.
Ability to support switching, LOTO, troubleshooting, inspections, and maintenance activities on medium-voltage and high-voltage equipment.
Understanding of substation one-lines, three-lines, AC/DC schematics, wiring diagrams, control circuits, and relay drawings.
Ability to identify abnormal equipment conditions such as heating, tracking, corona, oil leaks, gas pressure issues, damaged bushings, loose connections, failed heaters, blown fuses, and control power problems.

Medium-Voltage Cable Systems

Experience installing, inspecting, troubleshooting, and repairing medium-voltage underground cable systems used in utility-scale solar collection systems.
Skilled in medium-voltage cable splicing and terminations, including shielded cable preparation, insulation removal, semicon removal, conductor preparation, connector installation, stress control, grounding, shielding, and jacket restoration.
Experience with common medium-voltage cable accessories, including cold-shrink terminations, heat-shrink terminations, molded splices, separable connectors, elbows, T-body connectors, load-break connectors, dead-break connectors, junction bars, and grounding kits.
Ability to identify improper cable preparation, poor workmanship, tracking, contamination, moisture intrusion, shield damage, jacket damage, failed connectors, overheated terminations, and partial-discharge-related defects.
Experience performing or supporting medium-voltage cable testing, including insulation resistance testing, VLF withstand testing, tan delta testing, sheath testing, continuity checks, phasing, and grounding verification.
Experience locating underground cable faults using appropriate test equipment and methods, including sectionalizing, thumping, surge generation, TDR, arc reflection, acoustic pinpointing, sheath fault locating, and fault confirmation testing.
Ability to read underground cable drawings, collection system layouts, trench maps, cable schedules, splice maps, and as-built documentation to support troubleshooting and repair work.
Capable of safely isolating, testing, grounding, repairing, and returning medium-voltage cable circuits to service in accordance with site switching, clearance, and LOTO procedures.

Electrical Testing and Troubleshooting

Skilled in electrical troubleshooting using meters, insulation resistance testers, clamp meters, phase rotation meters, thermal cameras, and other diagnostic tools.
Ability to perform or support insulation resistance testing, continuity checks, voltage checks, control circuit troubleshooting, and basic equipment verification.
Experience troubleshooting 24 VDC, 48 VDC, 125 VDC, 120 VAC, 480 VAC, medium-voltage, and high-voltage systems.
Ability to safely identify failed components and determine root cause rather than only resetting alarms.
Strong understanding of electrical fundamentals, including voltage, current, resistance, power, grounding, bonding, fusing, relays, contactors, and protection circuits.
Ability to troubleshoot control power circuits, trip and close circuits, permissives, interlocks, auxiliary contacts, blown fuses, failed relays, failed coils, and loose or damaged wiring.

SCADA, Communications, and Controls

Experience using SCADA systems to monitor plant performance, alarms, breaker status, inverter status, tracker status, and metering data.
Ability to troubleshoot communication failures involving inverters, trackers, meters, weather stations, relays, RTUs, fiber, Ethernet, serial communication, switches, and network devices.
Understanding of plant control systems, curtailment commands, power factor control, reactive power control, and utility dispatch requirements.
Ability to distinguish between true equipment failures, communication failures, control logic issues, and operator-command issues.
Ability to review alarm history, event logs, device status, and field indications to support accurate troubleshooting.

Safety and Compliance

Strong working knowledge of electrical safety practices, including LOTO, arc flash boundaries, shock hazards, test-before-touch, stored energy, and energized work controls.
Familiarity with NFPA 70E, OSHA electrical safety requirements, and site-specific switching and clearance procedures.
Ability to follow switching orders, clearance procedures, job hazard analyses, energized work permits, and customer safety requirements.
Comfortable working around medium-voltage and high-voltage equipment while maintaining strict procedural discipline.
Ability to recognize unsafe conditions and stop work when needed.
Strong understanding of grounding, verification of absence of voltage, stored-energy hazards, and safe work practices around energized or previously energized equipment.

Ability to operate or work around utility vehicles, lifts, skid steers, telehandlers, and other site equipment where qualified.
Ability to perform field repairs while maintaining workmanship, safety, and equipment reliability standards.

Documentation and Reporting

Ability to document troubleshooting steps, test results, corrective actions, equipment deficiencies, and follow-up recommendations.
Capable of reading and interpreting OEM manuals, drawings, test reports, commissioning documents, maintenance procedures, and equipment specifications.
Ability to write clear daily reports, work summaries, inspection findings, and customer-facing service notes.
Strong attention to detail when recording equipment names, device numbers, serial numbers, test values, dates, and alarm history.
Ability to maintain accurate documentation for repairs, testing, inspections, outages, and return-to-service activities.

Leadership and Independent Work

Ability to work independently with minimal supervision.
Capable of leading smaller field tasks and coordinating with operations teams, subcontractors, OEMs, and utility representatives.
Strong judgment when prioritizing plant issues based on safety, generation impact, reliability, and customer expectations.
Ability to mentor junior technicians and support field training.
