- Keep clear, accurate records of inspections, repairs, and maintenance activities in line with organizational and regulatory expectations.
- Use technical manuals, wiring schematics, and diagrams to guide repairs, modifications, and system adjustments.
- Follow safety rules, electrical codes, and operational requirements during all work activities.
- Coordinate with supervisors and team members to schedule and complete maintenance and repair tasks on time.
- Take part in continuing education to renew certifications and keep skills aligned with new technology and NAVFAC standards.
Requirements & Qualifications
- One to three years of hands-on experience maintaining and repairing electrical and electronic equipment.
- BICSI Registered Technician Level certification or higher. If BICSI certification is not held, at least three years of experience installing specified copper and fiber optic cable and components using standards-based methods.
- Manufacturer or telecommunications-industry certification for every product line the technician will install and test, confirming they are qualified to perform that work.
- Training and certification for electrical or electronic equipment work as required by NAVFAC MO-200.
- Ability to read and interpret technical documents, wiring schematics, and electronic manuals.
- High school diploma or equivalent.
- Valid passport with at least one year of remaining validity at hire, and ability to travel internationally.
- Ability to pass contract medical requirements and maintain them throughout deployment.
- Ability to obtain country-specific visas under the U.S. Department of State Foreign Clearance Guide.
- Ability to obtain and maintain facility credentials or authorization.
- English reading, speaking, and comprehension sufficient to carry out contract requirements and follow installation emergency procedures.
Preferred qualifications:
- Associate's degree in Electronics, Electrical Engineering Technology, or a closely related field.
- Experience with NAVFAC standards and electrical or electronic equipment maintenance in a military or industrial environment.
- Prior work in an austere OCONUS setting with a multi-national workforce.
