Primary Objective:

Provide world class field engineering customer service customer through efficient delivery of GRC's Infrared Thermographic Services per the GRC baseline and client-specific contract.

Provide value-added risk engineering services and be a trusted advisor to the client.

Identify client needs and communicate potential opportunities to the Account Engineer.

Key criteria for Performance Evaluation should be based on the following:

Provide high quality IR Thermographic field engineering services and corresponding report content should be of high quality Conduct effective/efficient field engineering services (on average) within ~100% of the quoted hours (or better). This leads to Account Efficiencies and Profitability.

Provide client satisfaction and retention through quality services and excellence in communications with all levels at the plant (from maintenance, to Facility/Manufacturing, to Operations and up to Plant/Site Management.

General Responsibilities:

Field Engineering Surveys to meet GRC baseline and client-specific requirements (ASI's):

Proficiencies in Infrared Thermography, Thermal Imaging techniques and conducting sitewide inspections. This would apply to all electrical system voltage classes (Low-, Mediumand High-Voltage) as well as strategic mechanical systems

Ensure all applicable electrical equipment is "scanned" throughout all of the site's facilities (including but not limited to Utility Services, Switchgear, Switchboards, MCC's, Machine Control Panels, Production Machinery, Bus Ducts, Distribution Panelboards, Mechanical Equipment, Refrigeration, HVAC equipment, Air Compressors, Rooftop equipment (RTU's), and elevated mezzanine equipment, etc.)

Proficiencies in Airborne Ultrasound equipment and utilization (all Medium-/High-Voltage and strategic use of Low-Voltage equipment, where applicable) * Note: For select candidates, ultrasonic examination would not be a mandatory requirement. However, formal training is provided by GRC and consideration for formal training/certification would be given.

Perform Visual Examination (site-wide assessments for all applicable substandard electrical systems conditions, Code or Standards Violations, wiring practices and/or identification of any potential anomalies posing an electrical risk or reliability).

Full understanding of the GRC Baseline Account Servicing Instructions (ASI's).

Conduct thorough review of all client-specific ASI's.

Where necessary, conduct brief review(s) of GRC's Boiler/Machinery and/or Fire & Associated Perils Loss Prevention Reports to help better understand the client's operations in advance of the survey inspection.

Complete high-quality TUV SUD GRC Infrared Thermographic Survey Reports:

Ensure Equipment Inventory is fully vetted, listing all applicable power panels.

Utilization of TUV SUD GRC's technology (thermal imaging cameras, Ultraprobes, tablets and other laptop-interface devices)

Ensure all thermographic imagery reflects high accuracy in temperature readings, use of all proper and matches digital imagery.

Ensure all Findings accurately identify and match-up with the appropriate equipment, Probable Cause and Recommendations reflect accuracy results for site resolution of the findings.

Proper and consistent identification of each Recommendation in terms of both:

Severity Class categories: FYI- Non-Thermal, 1-star Minor, 2-star Intermediate, 3-star Serious, 4-star Critical * Impact Rating: Low, Moderate, High Note: Refer to TUV SUD GRC's baseline Severity / Impact ratings.

On stratgeic accounts utilizing Property Loss Control Checklists, the following additional items would be expected:

Conduct basic property visual examination inspection items as per the required checklist questions

Be able to identify basic property/fire protection risk exposures

Ability to review Preventitive and/or Predictive Maintenance programs as well as Human Element programs

Account Workload Management

Routine workload reviews (weekly) to ensure a minimum 140-hour billable hours per month

Satisfactory review and assignment of Engineering Target Months (ETM's) to the appropriate and realistic month for each and every assigned survey

Proper review of workload for Client Expiration Dates, ETM's, Client Target Months (CTM's), Last Year's inspection

Scheduling of efficient Trip Groups for all work to ensure performance within 100% of the 100% Actual:Quoted hours are achieved

Target Scheduling Goal

Administrative Duties:

Candidates for Senior Thermographer positions within GRC should possess the following attributes and qualifications:
