Technician Jobs in New Jersey

A Technician in the utilities industry is responsible for the installation, maintenance, and repair of utility systems such as electricity, water, gas, and telecommunications. They perform regular inspections and testing of systems to ensure they are operating efficiently and safely, troubleshoot problems, and handle the repair or replacement of equipment.
