Career Pivot
I am currently 1 of two electricians for a large school district. I mainly do maintenance and work orders along with PM, but recently I have taken on more responsibilities.
Due to school structure and budgeting, I am taking on HVAC scheduling and controls on Trane’s platform 24/7. I also swap out 480V VFD drives. I’ve done about 5-6 of those over the last year. I’m getting very interested in pivoting to instrumentation and controls while doing all this and would love to know the best way forward. What certs or qualifications to pursue, entry level positions to look out for, and general advice would be greatly helpful.
My background:
BA degree (not much help but a degree nonetheless)
3rd year into my electrical career. Well rounded with residential and commercial experience. Not yet licensed.
