Transformer Service Crew Leader 2 (CL 2) is a working field service supervisor responsible for assignment of personnel, environment, safety, and overall performance of crew/contractors on field projects. The CL 2 is the primary expert in assembly, service, testing and repair of transformers, although CL 2 and crew may be assigned other work individually or as part of a larger electrical substation or powerplant. The CL 2 will be responsible for evaluating assigned personnel. The CL 2 is responsible for the successful execution of projects and supervising, both technically and administratively, crew members and assigned contractor(s) and is expected to take decisive and/or corrective action for the well-being of the crew, environment, project, customer, and/or organization as a whole.
The CL 2 reports to assigned Transformer Resource Manager (TRM) and is expected to have effective communication with their manager throughout active projects and when awaiting assignment or standby time. Effective communication with Project Managers (PMs), Business Development Managers (BDMs), Testing Manager, and QTC Manager is also required. The CL 2 must seek approval from the TRM prior to re-assigning a crew member. When deemed necessary, the CL 2 may remove crew member(s) from jobsite if safety or behavior is not in compliance with Siemens Energy policies, guidelines, or safety policies.
The CL 2 is responsible for company assets, including the maintenance, cleanliness, safe operation, and condition of equipment/vehicles (assigned, rented, loaned, or leased), and the corresponding contents, tools, and accessories.
Requires extensive travel and non-standard schedules at field locations with exposure to varying environmental conditions.
