Job Description
We are looking for a hands-on Electrical Technician to support our monitoring system projects. The role involves physical site work (mounting sensors, cabling) as well as the technical configuration of data loggers and controllers. The candidate will work at office and project sites to ensure equipment is prewired, pre-configured, installed, connected, and transmitting data correctly.
Key Responsibilities
Installation & Cabling
Perform on-site installation of monitoring instruments (e.g., water level sensors, piezometers, flow meters) and environmental sensors.
Mount equipment enclosures, solar panel kits, and trunking/conduits according to site requirements.
Lay signal and power cables and perform termination into control panels/junction boxes.
Device Configuration & Setup (Technical Works)
Data Logger Setup: Connect laptops to Campbell Scientific (CR series) and other data loggers to upload configuration files and set site-specific parameters (e.g., sampling intervals, sensor IDs).
Controller Deployment: Flash operating system images and load setup files onto Raspberry Pi (RPI) units for field deployment.
Connectivity: Configure IP addresses and modems to ensure devices can transmit data to the central server.
Testing, Maintenance & Troubleshooting
Conduct function tests post-installation to verify sensor readings and data transmission.
Perform scheduled maintenance visits to clean sensors, check battery health, and tighten electrical connections.
Troubleshoot basic site issues (e.g., restarting hung devices, replacing blown fuses, swapping out faulty SD cards or sensor heads).
Safety & Reporting
Ensure all work is carried out in compliance with WSH (Workplace Safety and Health) regulations.
Update service logs and report site progress to the Project Engineer.
