ABOUT THE ROLE:

The Power Generation team is seeking an Electrical Technician to operate and maintain plant electrical systems at SpaceX’s power generation facility. You will work hands-on across medium-voltage generation, distribution, and balance-of-plant electrical equipment up to 13.5 kV and 34.8 kV. This is an operations and maintenance role — you will switch, troubleshoot, repair, and keep electrical systems online in a high-reliability, fast-paced plant environment.

RESPONSIBILITIES:

• Perform operations and maintenance on plant electrical systems, including generators, transformers, switchgear, motor control centers, motors, VFDs, UPS units, automatic transfer switches, and emergency/black-start equipment, at voltages up to 13.5 kV and 34.8 kV. • Execute switching, isolation, LOTO, racking of breakers, and restoration of medium-voltage equipment in accordance with plant procedures and NFPA 70E. • Troubleshoot electrical faults on power distribution, protection, grounding, lighting, and auxiliary systems using one-line diagrams, schematics, and electrical test equipment. • Perform preventive and predictive maintenance, inspections, and repairs to improve reliability and reduce unplanned downtime. • Support plant startups, shutdowns, outages, and commissioning activities alongside operators, controls technicians, and engineers. • Install, terminate, and maintain plant electrical equipment, cable, and control wiring as required for operations and maintenance work. • Respond to electrical alarms, trips, and equipment failures; support root-cause investigations and implement corrective actions. • Coordinate with operations, engineering, and utility personnel on switching, clearances, and electrical work that affects plant generation. • Maintain accurate work orders, switching records, and as-found/as-left documentation. • Follow all safety, LOTO, arc-flash, and PPE requirements while working in energized and hazardous plant environments.
