| Description: | An Generator Service Technician - also known as a Generator Mechanic - installs, maintains and tests the generators and the engines that drive them. It's a specialized field working with internal combustion engines that run on various types of fuel systems as well as the generators and electrical systems used for back-up, emergency and primary (off grid) power systems. Qualified technicians are in demand with a strong and growing job market in this sector.
This specialized, intensive diploma program will prepare you to install, maintain, test and service electrical power generation units up to 10,000 kilowatts that are used for emergency power, standby power and prime power generation, in compliance with regulated standards. The job market for qualified specialists in the electrical and alternate power generation field is strong and growing, due to supply shortages, climate disruptions and the increase in energy demands. Power generator systems ensure consistent power generation in response to unreliable electricity grids or when traditional hydroelectricity is unavailable. |
