What is an Emergency Power Systems Technician?
An Emergency Power Systems Technician, more commonly known as a Generator Technician, is responsible for the maintenance and repair of emergency power systems to ensure they will operate properly in the event of a power outage. A Generator Technician is the true HERO, and the lifeblood within any emergency power systems service provider.
80% of the time, a Generator Technician is performing planned maintenance, inspections, and testing the system per recommended best practices and regulatory requirements with the intention of ensuring the system will function in the event of an outage. However, despite planned maintenance, equipment can still fail, and when this happens a Generator Technician is also responsible for troubleshooting and repairing the system as soon as possible so that the generator can come back online.
