Staff Interview Subway Maintenance Engineer (Electricity)
Last Updated January 14, 2022
Niwa Electric District Maintenance Engineer K.K.K.
Joined the office in 2014. After working at Kaminagaya Maintenance Management Office, he is currently a member of the Niiba Maintenance Management Office.
He has a unique history of being from the Faculty of Law, and carries out patrol inspections of substations and periodic inspections of station electrical equipment.
Flying 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."
These reports jump in every day to our maintenance technicians at Niiba Denki Ward.
Actually, last night, I was told that the equipment at the substation was broken, and I had dealt with the failure until the morning.
When I rushed to the scene with my senior and two of them, he said, "The cause was a failure in the equipment."
However, there was no spare base, and until the replacement platform arrived, it was manually operated instead of an unoperated device.
After successfully exchanging the base, I was relieved when the first train started moving.
From inspection of substations to repair station electrical equipment such as fluorescent lamp and outlets, I run around every day from station to station because I am responsible for all conservation related to electricity.
My seniors supported me by a different field.
I am from the Faculty of Law, and I have no knowledge about electricity at the time of entry.
While there were many people from science in the same period, it was obviously a start from lap delay.
However, I learned from my seniors who formed a group during the stay, learned how to use tools, and how to do everyday work, from the law of Om, which I learned in the second year of junior high school, how to use tools, and how to do everyday work.
Above all, how do you predict the danger and work safely?
For example, we also repair 750V power supply equipment (third rails) that run along the tracks, but we stop power transmission during work, but if we do not see the work status of our colleagues, it will lead to an accident.
So don't forget close communication, such as "I've done" or "I haven't done it yet." The fingertips also repeats so that it permeates the body, so even when you close the key at home, even when you close the key at home, you do "locking reed!"
For any failure, there is a cause and a solution.
The most difficult part of this job is when you don't know the cause of the disability.
However, there is always a cause for any small abnormality.
If you don't know at the site, he rushes back to the office and re-examine the drawings, and ask for the wisdom of veteran seniors to disassemble and diagnose equipment. If you find a solution, "This is it!", And then your anxiety will be blown away.
Even though we've always been a solution, 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, when I was a child, I was not interested in my father's work.
But now, when I got the job of conservation, I feel like I can see my father's feelings that rushed to the customer to repair it.
That's the thought of "for someone."
And if you have that feeling, you can start with inexperience in City of Yokohama, Transportation Bureau, so if you are interested, why not try it?

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