Staff interview subway maintenance engineer (electricity)
Last updated on January 14, 2022.
Niwa Electric Zone Maintenance Engineer K.K.
Joined in 2014. After working at the Kaminagaya Maintenance Office, he currently belongs to the Niwa Maintenance Office.
He is from the Faculty of Law and has a unique background, and also performs patrols of substations and periodic inspections of station electrical equipment.
Fly from the station to the station, aiming for a perfect electrical system.
"Would you like to respond because there is a leak in the electric circuit at the station?" "I can't operate the circuit breaker."
Such news jumps in every day to ourselves and the maintenance technicians of the Niwa Electric Zone.
Actually, last night, during a nap during my stay work, there was a report that the equipment at the substations broke down, and I had been dealing with obstacles until the morning.
A senior and two rushed to the site and examined it, said, "The cause is the failure of the infrastructure in the equipment."
However, there was no spare base, and until the replacement base arrived, I operated it manually instead of a non-operational device.
After successfully replacing the base, I was relieved when the first train started moving.
From checking substations to repairing station electrical equipment such as fluorescent lamp and outlets, every day I run around from station to station to station toconservation.
My senior supported me from a different field.
I am from the Faculty of Law and have no knowledge of electricity at the time of admission.
While there were many people from science during the same period, it was obviously a start with lap delays.
However, I learned from a senior who formed a group in the accommodation work from Om's law, which I learned in my second year of junior high school, to how to use tools and how to work everyday.
Above all, how do you predict the danger and work safely by being hit?
For example, we also repair 750V power supply equipment (third rail) running along the track, but even if we stop transmission during work, we can lead to an accident if we cannot see the work status of our colleagues.
So don't forget to communicate closely, such as "I'm done" or "I haven't done it yet." The finger difference is repeated so that it permeates the body, so even when closing the key at home, you can say "locked Yoshi!"
There are causes and solutions for any obstacle.
The most difficult thing about this job is when you don't know the cause of the disability.
But there is always a cause for any small abnormality.
If you don't know the site, go back to the office to reexamine the drawings, and seek the wisdom of veteran seniors to challenge the disassembly and diagnose the equipment. Then, when a solution is found, "This is it!", The anxiety up to that point blows away.
I always have a solution, but I sometimes dream of earth leakage, probably because the roots are worried (laughs).
Actually, my father runs an electrician business in Sadogashima. To be honest, I wasn't interested in my father's work when I was a child.
But now that I got a job at Electric conservation, even though the snow flickered, I feel like my father who rushed to the customer to repair it.
That's the idea of "for someone."
And if you have that feeling, you can start with inexperienced experience in City of Yokohama, Transportation Bureau, so if you are interested, why not try it?

A word from Mr. K.K.
We have also set up a maintenance vehicle experience corner for the Thanksgiving Day "Hamarin Festa" sponsored by Transportation Bureau.
I hope that future engineers will come out of the children who ride the vehicle happily.
