EXPERIENCE:

Construction Electrician 3, MJM Electric

11/13- Present

Preformed rip outs of old electrical distribution systems and installing

new power panels and 480 volts 3 phases disconnects. Operating Terex man

lift with approved safety harness at 60 feet to install L.E.D lighting with

pulling in associated wires through rigid conduit to power panel.

Participated in soil excavations to locate damaged PVC conduit to repair,

also to measure new runs to new disconnect locations while using drawings.

Proficient in former 4/0 wire in main breakers and landing circuits in

power panel while maintaining equal phasing to insure no Phase overloading.

Demonstrates ability in MCT bending rigid and none rigid 2 inch down to

and smaller. Proficient in using the ohms law graph to calculate

alternating and direct current electrical circuits. Demonstrated ability to

read Programmable Logics Control indicators to trouble shoot to distant end

of circuit to determine true positions of proximity switch indicators on

gate valves using wire and block diagrams while corresponding with others

on handheld radios to find and fix problems as well as terminating

associated control and power wires.

supervision to maintain readiness for up and coming Launch dates by used

basic math to verify stability on thermal testing to advance testing to

next phase of the testing process. Updated E-factory to reflect what phase

of the test process (Run or Completed) and communicated to rest of test

team this information by e-mail and verbally. Proficient in reading and

understanding SOD 1687 and 1786 for FTINU and RRGU Recording temperatures,

calculations and other useful information such as power applied, script

wait times, failure indications, Gyro temperatures and other normal

anomalies that my happen in the test process in the Unit log books to be

archived.
