What are the responsibilities and job description for the Electrical & Instrumentation position at NEW Water?
JOB REQUIREMENTS: The E/I Technician plays a critical role in supporting
NEW Water\'s culture of Safety, Respect, Team, and Environment by
ensuring the reliable operation of electrical and instrumentation
systems across the Green Bay and De Pere wastewater treatment facilities
and collection system. This position performs complex predictive,
preventive, and emergency maintenance on a wide range of critical
equipment, including variable frequency drives, PLCs, transformers,
switchgear, electrical distribution systems up to 24,900 volts, and
generators. Responsibilities include inspecting, troubleshooting,
programming, calibrating, repairing, and installing equipment that
directly impacts plant operations and regulatory compliance. The
technician conducts failure analysis, diagnoses issues within motor
control centers, control networks, remote telemetry systems, and process
monitoring equipment, and makes informed recommendations to improve
system reliability, safety, and performance. Participation in a rotating
standby schedule ensures timely response to after-hours emergencies and
minimizes operational disruptions. In addition to hands-on technical
work, the E/I Technician is responsible for thorough documentation and
collaboration to support operational excellence. This includes recording
labor, materials, and detailed repair summaries in the Computerized
Maintenance Management System (CMMS), as well as updating electrical
schematics, P&ID drawings, and system documentation. A strong commitment
to safety is essential, including adherence to all safety policies,
active hazard identification and mitigation, participation in safety
training, and support of lockout/tagout procedures. Through technical
skill, proactive problem-solving, and dedication to environmental
compliance, the E/I Technician ensures the continued safe and efficient
operation of NEW Water\'s facilities. Modify, maintain, or repair
electronics equipment or systems to ensure proper functioning. Replace
defective components or parts, using hand tools and precision
instruments. Set up and operate specialized or standard test equipment
to diagnose, test, or analyze the performance of electronic components,
assemblies, or systems. Identify and resolve equipment malfunctions,
working with manufacturers or field representatives as necessary to
procure replacement parts. Read blueprints, wiring diagrams, schematic
drawings, or engineering instructions for assembling electronics units,
applying knowledge of electronic theory and components. Assemble
electrical systems or prototypes, using hand tools or measuring
instruments. Review electrical engineering plans to ensure adherence to
design specifications and compliance with applicable electrical codes
and standards. Assemble, test, or maintain circuitry or electronic
components, according to engineering instructions, technical manuals, or
knowledge of electronics, using hand or power tools. Maintain system
logs or manuals to document testing or operation of equipment. Review
existing electrical engineering criteria to identify necessary
revisions, deletions, or amendments to outdated material. Select
electronics equipment, components, or systems to meet functional
specifications. Calculate design specifications or cost, material, and
resource estimates, and prepare project schedules and budgets. Educate
equipment operators on the proper use of equipment. Compile and maintain
records documenting engineering schematics, installed equipment,
installation or operational problems, resources used, repairs, or
corrective action performed. Modify electrical prototypes, parts,
assemblies, or systems to correct functional deviations. Integrate
software or hardware components, using computer, microprocessor, or
control architecture. Procure parts and maintain inventory and related
documentation. Participate in training or continuing education
activities to stay abreast of ngineering or industry advances. Research
equipment or component needs, sources, competitive prices, delivery
times, or ongoing operational costs. Provide user applications or
engineering support or recommendations for new or existing equipment
with regard to installation, upgrades, or enhancements. Specify,
coordinate, or conduct quality control or quality assurance programs or
procedures. Produce electronics drawings or other graphics representing
industrial control, instrumentation, sensors, or analog or digital
telecommunications networks, using computer-aided design (CAD) software.
Install or maintain electrical control systems, industrial automation
systems, or electrical equipment, including control circuits, variable
speed drives, or programmable logic controllers. Design or modify
engineering schematics for electrical transmission and distribution
systems or for electrical installation in residential, commercial, or
industrial buildings, using computer-aided design (CAD) software.
Interpret test information to resolve design-related problems. Conduct
statistical studies to analyze or compare production costs for
sustainable or nonsustainable designs. Construct and evaluate electrical
components for consumer electronics applications such as fuel cells for
consumer electronic devices, power saving devices for computers or
televisions, or energy efficient power chargers. Participate in the
development or testing of electrical aspects of new green technologies,
such as lighting, optical data storage devices, and energy efficient
televisions. Review, develop, or prepare maintenance standards.
