    Job Description

    Electrical & Control Systems Technician (Manufacturing)

    Our mission: safer lines, higher uptime, and consistent quality. Your craft: turning alarms and schematics into stable, optimized automation. If solving complex controls problems energizes you, this role is your arena.

    How You’ll Work

    Picture this: a line throws a fault. You trace ladder logic, consult the schematic, validate I/O, tune a VFD, and bring the system back online—then capture the learning to prevent recurrence. Between calls, you partner with production, quality, and safety to plan upgrades that measurably improve plant performance.
