- Troubleshoot electrical issues related to controllers, transfer switches, sensors, and alarms
- Interpret blueprints, schematics, and controller wiring diagrams
- Verify system performance through flow testing and operational validation
- Provide clear documentation of deficiencies, repairs, and recommendations
- Mentor junior technicians in fire pump systems and diagnostics
