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 (include but are not limited to):

• Control the generation or distribution of electric power in power generating plants, power distribution centers, and substations.
• Anticipate load changes due to changes in work schedules or industrial operations, and/or weather to engage or cut out power sources, and interpreting wiring diagrams for a complete primary power system.
• Operate diesel power distribution systems characterized by a wide variety of uses, including industrial operations which have large load changes, and peak loads which require set up to operate control boards, generators, remote and manually controlled transformers, switches, and circuit breakers.
• Read/analyze a variety of interrelated meter indications to detect abnormal conditions such as, circuit over-loads, improper line voltages, or equipment temperature; and determine the causes of these abnormal conditions and make necessary corrections by adjusting controls.
• Manipulate controls in power plants to start and stop the generator, synchronize it with the system and pick up the load, paralleling it on the bus; control generator output to clip the peak load drawn from commercial systems.
• Monitor the effects of the reactive loads and 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, including what local generating capacity will be necessary to clip peak demands.
• 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 the specified operating range of voltage and current, and/or 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 be done to provide power to undamaged portions of the system, and what circuits should be opened to allow others to make repairs safely.

Essential Job Qualifications:

• Journey level knowledge and skills in controlling the generation or distribution of electric power in power generating plants, power distribution centers, and substations.
• Ability to anticipate load changes due to changes in work schedules or industrial operations, and/or weather to engage or cut out power sources, and interpret wiring diagrams for a complete primary power system.
• Skill to operate diesel power distribution systems characterized by a wide variety of uses, including industrial operations which have large load changes, and peak loads which require set up to operate control boards, generators, remote and manually controlled transformers, switches, and circuit breakers.
• Skill in reading/analyzing a variety of interrelated meter indications to detect abnormal conditions such as, circuit over-loads, improper line voltages, or equipment temperature; and ability to determine the causes of these abnormal conditions and make necessary changes by adjusting controls.
• Ability to manipulate controls in power plants to start and stop the generator, synchronize it with the system and pick up the load, paralleling it on the bus; control generator output to clip the peak load drawn from commercial systems.
• Knowledge of electrical voltage regulation, frequency control devices, theories of high voltage transmission, and corona loss; electrical theory and trade mathematics to calculate such items as, the amount of resistive and reactive loads, and phase relationship of loads to identify unbalanced low efficiency loads, circulating currents, or other undesirable conditions.

Work Environment:

• Remote site located on San Nicholas Island, CA
• Travel to and from the island provided via government flight
• Work may involve exposure to environmental hazards and requires physical stamina
