CORE RESPONSIBILITIES

Troubleshoot and repair existing 12-volt low-voltage and 120-volt line-voltage landscape and exterior lighting systems . Independently diagnose lighting outages and system problems rather than simply replacing parts. Identify failed fixtures, lamps, wiring, connections, transformers, breakers, photocells, timers, controls, and other system components. Trace existing circuits and wiring to determine how fixtures, controls, transformers, breakers, junctions, and underground wiring are connected. Use electrical meters and troubleshooting equipment to test voltage, continuity, power sources, and system operation. Locate and repair damaged or cut underground low-voltage cable and identify problems with existing line-voltage underground wiring. Replace LED lamps, integrated LED fixtures, floodlights, bullet lights, sockets, fixture components, and related lighting equipment. Make proper electrical connections appropriate for the system and location. Replace deteriorated fixture stakes and reposition fixtures as needed. Troubleshoot, replace, program, and adjust transformers, photocells, WiFi switches, digital and mechanical time clocks, and in-wall timers . Clean fixture lenses and remove dirt, debris, insects, and moisture when necessary. Adjust fixture positioning and aiming as required during normal service and maintenance work.
