Read and interpret electrical drawings, wiring diagrams, and manufacturer installation instructions.
Use multimeters, clamp meters, and other electrical testing equipment to accurately diagnose problems.
Perform work in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC), applicable local codes, and company safety procedures.
Communicate professionally with homeowners, explain diagnostic findings, and recommend appropriate repairs or upgrades.
Accurately document service calls, completed work, materials, and job-related information using company software.
Maintain a clean, safe, and organized work environment, including company vehicles, equipment, and job sites.
