Applied for a position with PECO and got invited to the assessment phase. The recruiter said it includes a written exam but didn't give me much detail on content. Does anyone know what the PECO certification exam actually covers?

I have an electrical background — 6 years in industrial maintenance. If it's technical electrical content I'm probably okay, but if it's more about company procedures or safety compliance I want to prep specifically for that.

Exam is in 3 weeks. Any info would be really helpful.

From what I recall when I went through it, there's electrical theory, safety regulations (OSHA standards), and situational judgment. Your industrial background will help a lot on the theory side.

The safety compliance section was more detailed than I expected. Know NFPA 70E arc flash standards and lockout/tagout procedures cold — those came up multiple times.

Situational judgment questions are about prioritizing safety over speed, following chain of command, and documenting incidents correctly. There's usually one clearly unsafe answer to eliminate first.
