Onsite Technician - Travel Required

About JM Test Systems

JM Test Systems provides calibration, test and measurement equipment, and technical services across multiple business segments and service locations. We help customers in industrial, energy, manufacturing, and other demanding environments keep critical instruments accurate, compliant, and ready to perform.

Job Summary — The Opportunity

Line workers and electricians trust their gloves, hot sticks, and voltage detectors with their lives. As an Electrical Safety Technician, you'll make sure that trust is well placed, testing and certifying the equipment that keeps people safe around high voltage.

In this role, you will work in both our Mount Braddock lab and at customer sites across the region, with travel and overnight stays required, performing high-voltage dielectric testing, inspection, calibration, and certification of electrical safety equipment and test instruments. You'll work with insulated rubber goods, hot sticks, grounding cables, and meters, making sure each item meets ASTM, OSHA, or NETA standards and manufacturer specifications.

You'll thrive here if you're technically or mechanically skilled, safety-conscious, detail-oriented, and enjoy hands-on work in changing environments.

Key Responsibilities & Outcomes

·        Test and certify safety equipment. Perform functional and high-voltage dielectric testing on insulated gloves, sleeves, blankets, line hoses, hot sticks, grounding cables, and voltage detectors to confirm they meet safety standards.

·        Keep instruments accurate. Test, calibrate, and troubleshoot low- and medium-voltage test instruments, including multimeters and clamp meters.

·        Catch problems before they reach the field. Identify non-conformances and flag failed items for repair or decommissioning.

·        Document everything. Maintain accurate testing and inspection records that meet company and accreditation requirements.

·        Keep the lab ready. Safely operate test benches and voltage sources, support setup, teardown, and preventive maintenance of test stations, and track inventory of equipment, tools, and materials.

·        Communicate clearly. Share test results and status with supervisors, teammates, and customers.

·        Work safely, always. Follow all safety protocols and wear appropriate PPE when working in high-voltage environments.

·        Required: Basic understanding of electrical safety concepts and equipment, and comfort working with high-voltage equipment under strict safety procedures.

·        Required: Ability to work in a fast-paced, physically active environment, both indoors and outdoors.

·        Required: Willingness to travel regularly, including overnight stays.

·        Preferred: Associate's degree or technical certification in Electrical Technology, Electronics, or a related field.

·        Preferred: Experience in a calibration, test lab, ISO 17025 accredited lab, or industrial electrical setting, and familiarity with NETA, ASTM, or ANSI standards.

Schedule & Work Environment

This role splits time between the lab and the field:
