Aaron Minard

I’m a Field Engineer/Technician with 15+ years of hands-on experience across power metering, protection systems, telecommunications, manufacturing automation, and electronics in both utility and industrial environments. I bring a proven focus on design, installation, reliability, measurement accuracy, and safety—so the work performs in the field and meets compliance expectations.

In my utility role, I deliver meter services including inspection, installation, removal, sealing/unsealing, exchange, and calibration of self-contained and transformer-rated meters. I resolve service issues, reduce customer disruptions, program and extract data from metering and power-quality recording devices, and identify energy diversion, tampering, broken seals, and incorrect settings to protect revenue and public safety.

My diagnostics depth includes root-cause analysis with meter calibration and PT/CT testing, plus protective relay work, PLC troubleshooting/programming, and fiber testing (including OTDR/pathloss). I use shop and field test instruments to investigate communication faults, validate metering packages, and maintain accurate transformer/current transformer matching for consistent measurement.

I also strengthen teams and projects beyond installation—supporting training and mentoring of junior technicians, documenting work (including using SAP), and communicating clearly with customers and internal stakeholders. Previously, I maintained industrial control systems, engineered point-to-point radio systems and site upgrades, and developed automated testing equipment and logging software—skills that help me troubleshoot quickly and implement durable solutions.
