Potential Areas for Improvement



Specificity

While concise, some areas could benefit from more specific examples.
Instead of "troubleshoots systems," mentioning specific systems (e.g., HVAC controls, building automation systems, lighting controls) would be helpful. The description could specify which electrical codes and regulatory requirements are relevant (e.g., National Electrical Code (NEC), local building codes). "Optimal operating condition and safety" could be elaborated with examples (e.g., reducing energy consumption, preventing electrical hazards).

Physical Demands

While mentioning labor-intensive work, a more detailed description of the physical requirements (e.g., lifting heavy objects, climbing ladders, working in awkward positions) might be beneficial, especially for ADA compliance.


Soft Skills

While technical skills are emphasized, consider adding a sentence or two about essential soft skills like communication, problem-solving, teamwork, and customer service.

Generator and Transfer Switch Maintenance

More details on maintenance procedures for these key systems.

Suggestions for Refinement
