Work Experience 10/01/2006 to present
Letterkenny Army Depot
I have the ability to diagnoses, repair and replace, adjust
and test mobile
equipment such as powered and motor generators containing
electrical,
electronic, mechanical, pneumatic, and internal combustion
systems and their
assemblies and subassemblies such as 1.5 KW to 200 KW
generators, gas or
diesel engines, gas turbines, compressors, pumps,
turbochargers, starter
motors, alternators, voltage regulators, and other items of
similar complexity. I have the ability to use standard and
specialized test equipment such as pengraph recorders, dial
and digital multimeters, AC/DC power supplies, load banks,
various micrometers
and dial indicators, pressure gauges and regulators,
borescopes, and a
variety of technical information such as blueprints,
schematics, manuals, an
maintenance modifications. I inspect, disassemble, clean,
repair, and build
subassemblies. I use subassemblies, parts, and new hardware
to build
generators. I have the ability to test, diagnose, repair and
replace parts
as needed to meet SOW. I have the ability to perform final
assembly duties
to prepare unit for quality control. I direct lower grade
workers on
inspection and overhaul processes. The following are typical
of work
performance:
I independently inspect and diagnoses complete units by
determining if
equipment is functioning reliably and properly, or if items
fail to conform
to required specifications, or if unit is inoperable. I can
also identify
problems and make preliminary determinations on corrective
measures to be
applied by visual checks and by using standard and special
equipment and
tools. I provide guidance and assistance to lower grade
workers on the less
complex repairs. I possess the knowledge and skills needed to
perform the
duties of a work leader.
Skill and Knowledge
I have developed the skills required to troubleshoot and make
extensive repairs to internal
combustion gas or diesel engines and gas turbines; governing
components for
controlling and/or transferring power; diagnosing and
rebuilding of AC and
DC electric power generator systems; conditioning systems
(cooling, heating,
dehumidifying); mechanical, electrical and transistorized
sensing and
controlling devices for engines and generators; and other
comparable
equipment associated with such systems.
I have the ability to interpret and use a variety of
technical information,
and plan and lay out work in proper sequence in accordance
with procedures,
schedule and supervisors instructions.
Responsibility
I currently receive assignments that are oral or in the form
of work orders
and are accompanied by standard procedures or other available
technical
information. I obtain the independent responsibility to plan
and lay out the
work, perform all normal work processes, final check the
complete system,
and provide guidance and instructions to lower grade
employees. Unusual
problems are referred to the supervisor along with
recommended solutions
verbally by myself. Work is normally reviewed on completion
for operating
efficiency and use of acceptable trade practices.
Physical Effort
I am used to work that involves frequent bending, reaching,
crouching,
standing and climbing over and around equipment, also work
that is in
cramped areas where awkward positions are assumed during
performance. I have
no problem frequently lifting items weighing up to 40 pounds,
and heavier
items are moved with assistance of others or by materials
handling equipment
such as forklifts/overhead cranes/etc.
Working Conditions
I currently perform work inside and outside. Inside areas are
usually well
lit and heated, however, they are subject to drafts and
changing
temperatures. Outside work may require occasional exposure to
inclement
weather. My daily duties often are performed around frequent
exposure to
loud noise, dust, fumes, grease, dirt, and hard surfaced
floors. There is
possibility of cuts, burns, bruises, strains, electrical
shock, and broken
bones from falls. I am required to wear various protective
and safety
devices or clothing which may be uncomfortable.
I have been informed, based on scheduled workload of
maintenance programs,
that I may be subject to temporary duty (TDY) assignments at
both CONUS
and/or OCONUS field locations with little to no notice.
