• Report for duty as per shift schedule; attend daily toolbox meetings.
• Operate, monitor, and maintain 33KV/11KV HT switchgear, transformers, protection relays, and isolators.
• Perform HT switching operations (with authorization and safety permits) including incoming feeder changeovers, transformer energization/de-energization.
• Monitor LT panels, bus couplers, capacitor banks, and outgoing feeders; ensure load balancing and power factor within limits.
• Start, stop, and parallel generators using synchronizing panels (sync panels); manage load sharing between multiple generators.
• Conduct hourly/daily rounds of generator sets – check oil, coolant, fuel levels, battery voltage, alternator output, and abnormal noises.
• Record operational data: voltage, current, frequency, kVA, kWh, fuel consumption, run hours.
• Respond immediately to HT/LT faults (e.g., trips, earth leakage, overcurrent) – reset, isolate, or escalate as per procedure.
