Electrical Engineering Technician Duties and Responsibilities
The true scope of an Electrical Engineering Technician’s job will depend upon the job they are hired for, but there are several primary responsibilities that can be applied to nearly all Electrical Engineering Technician positions. A review of current job listings identified the following core responsibilities.

1. Install Systems
When an Electrical Engineering Technician is called upon to install electrical systems to a new or existing building or to assist with creating communications or navigational equipment there is much work to be done. Electrical Engineering Technicians will need to be able to design or assist in the layout design process, order the necessary parts and equipment for the project and then either perform the installation themselves or assist in the installation process. They must ensure all circuits and parts are correctly installed and function as intended.

2. Evaluate Systems
Electrical Engineering Technicians are also hired to perform product control and system evaluations. This may require them to inspect a design plan, evaluate an electrical system and its components or actively test electronic equipment and provide recommendations or repairs. Electrical Engineering Technicians must know how to test circuits using diagnostic tools, create solutions and have the ability to complete basic repair work. Some Electrical Engineering Technicians are also hired to perform preventative maintenance to ensure the electrical systems are always up-to-date and safe.

3.Create Documentation
Electrical Engineering Technicians are expected to keep detailed documentation on all the systems and equipment they work on. They may be tasked with creating a user's manual, updating a maintenance log or providing regular reports on the tasks they have completed.
