Mid Level Relay Technician Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get a mid level relay technician job?
Position your existing experience around ownership, not just execution. Highlight relay settings and testing you owned independently, protection schemes you configured, and any coordination you led across teams or sites. Tailor your resume to the specific relay technologies each employer uses, whether electromechanical, solid-state, or microprocessor-based, and emphasize measurable outcomes like reduced outage time or commissioning milestones you drove.
Which companies hire mid level relay technicians?
Companies hiring mid level relay technicians right now include EPS, PacifiCorp, and Saber Power Services, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Hiring at this level comes primarily from investor-owned utilities, large electrical contractors, and independent power producers that need technicians who can work with minimal supervision on live protection systems.
How do I move up to a mid level relay technician role?
The move from entry level to mid level comes from deepening your technical ownership over time. That means progressing from assisted relay testing to leading commissioning tasks independently, gaining proficiency with protective relaying software like SEL, GE, or ABB platforms, and building a record of completed projects where your settings decisions held up under real operating conditions. Earning a NETA certification or journeyman credential accelerates the transition.
