Hey guys, recently moved out here from the midwest.

Looking for work as an electrical/electronics technician or some sort of facilities maintenance but not including an apartment complex. Need something with medical insurance and permanent full time work. Starting pay at least $50k. I am already working full time so I don't need just any job but am looking for something better. I am living in a temporary location so a job that is a little out of town is still on the table as I haven't signed a lease yet.

I worked for a little over 5 years as a technician for a major UPS company. UPS as in uninterruptible power supply not brown trucks. I would do that again for an OEM but I have not found any opportunities in town. A UPS is basically a rectifier on the front end (AC to DC) and an inverter on the back end (DC TO AC) with some inductors and capacitors as filters.

I have my own hand tools and a Fluke 87V. I primarily worked with 3 phase 208 and 480 VAC and 540 VDC on individual machines from 10 to 750 kVA and paralleled systems up to 3000 kVA. Several were paired with generators. I can read wiring schematics. I can troubleshoot and install or replace transformers, inductors, capacitors, relays, fuses, breakers, contactors, MOBs, power supplies etc. I have been trained to use appropriate flash gear and other applicable PPE, LOTO etc. I am not a licensed electrician. I learned from proprietary in house training. I also have another 5 years experience turning wrenches on motorcycles running my own business years ago. I am familiar with Windows and MS Office Suite.

Routine work was new installation/start ups, preventative maintenance, scheduled and emergency repairs. I covered 6 states and was on call 24/7. I don't mind travel for training or regional work if a company car or stipend is offered.

I am willing to work outside or adjacent to this field if you know of something. I have a 2 year degree if that helps. Will pass a drug test and back ground check. I'm in my late 30's.

Have a DL with a clean driving record and a passport (never hurts to mention).

I already looked at Denso. Production jobs there don't pay any better than what I have now.

My baggage
I have a 5/8" beard but would shave it off if that is a problem.
I also have hair down to my collar bone. It is clean, well trimmed and natural color. For the right job offer I would cut it off. I don't want to chop it just for the interview though. Hey, my hair is thinning and it offers me a smidgen of denial
I have bad credit for medical bills (cancer) that I am still paying off. So any position that comes with an AMEX will probably frown at me.  

Thanks.
