What?

According to 91.417:

(1) Records of the maintenance, preventive maintenance, and alteration and records of the 100-hour, annual, progressive, and other required or approved inspections, as appropriate, for each aircraft (including the airframe) and each engine, propeller, rotor, and appliance of an aircraft. The records must include—
(i) A description (or reference to data acceptable to the Administrator) of the work performed; and
(ii) The date of completion of the work performed; and
(iii) The signature, and certificate number of the person approving the aircraft for return to service

As a non-mechanic, he can't approve the aircraft for return to service. He can do the work, the appropriately rated mechanic can supervise, but it is the mechanic who has to return it to service, therefore assuming the liability. Installing a contactor does not fall under preventive maintenance.
