Coho Technology Solutions Electrical Power Controller (EPC)

Coho Technology Solutions is seeking a qualified Electrical Power Controller (EPC) professional to provide technical expertise in operating, maintaining, repairing, and troubleshooting power plant systems in support of Naval Base Ventura County San Nicolas Island. This role involves hands?on work with electrical distribution systems, generators, transformers, substations, and associated equipment while ensuring compliance with Department of Defense (DoD) and Navy standards.

The EPC will play a critical role in supporting electrical outages, construction activities, and ongoing facility operations, requiring strong technical skills, safety awareness, and the ability to work independently in a mission?critical environment.

Responsibilities

• Control the generation or distribution of electric power in power generating plants, power distribution centers, and substations.
• Anticipate load changes due to work schedules, industrial operations, and weather to engage or cut out power sources, and interpret wiring diagrams for a complete primary power system.
• Operate diesel power distribution systems characterized by a wide variety of uses, including industrial operations with large load changes, and peak loads requiring set up to operate control boards, generators, remote and manually controlled transformers, switches, and circuit breakers.
• Read and analyze a variety of interrelated meter indications to detect abnormal conditions such as circuit over?loads, improper line voltages, or equipment temperature; determine causes and adjust controls.
• Manipulate controls in power plants to start and stop the generator, synchronize it with the system, pick up the load, and parallel it on the bus; control generator output to clip the peak load drawn from commercial systems.
• Monitor reactive loads, compensate for them, interpret priority lists to plan load?shedding schedules, interpret load requests to schedule blocks of power requested by users, balance capacitance and reactive loads to achieve a good power factor, and make maximum use of purchased power.
• Interpret operating instructions and distribution equipment operating criteria to determine the proper time to switch in other feeders, tie in parallel equipment, adjust transformer taps to keep within voltage and current limits, and set up the system to handle heavy loads.
• Interpret circuit diagrams and equipment layout drawings to determine which electrical items such as circuit breakers and transformers can be operated, what rerouting can provide power to undamaged portions of the system, and which circuits should be opened to allow others to make repairs safely.
