Industrial Controls and Power Electrician

About the role

Picture a day where you move from a servo controller fault to a facility power upgrade without missing a beat. You trace a signal on a schematic, confirm a motor starter is wired to spec, bend and pull new conduit runs, and verify that a 480V circuit is right-sized for the load and distance. You wrap up by coaching a teammate through an NEC interpretation and phoning a vendor to source a specialty sensor.

That’s a typical day for our Industrial Controls and Power Electrician. You’ll install, troubleshoot, and repair electrical systems across the plant and grounds, keeping production safe, compliant, and running at peak performance.

• Read and interpret electrical schematics to diagnose motors, motor controls, and device-level controls.
• Locate faults in sensors and solid-state devices; perform effective repairs.
• Bend and install various types of conduit; size wire and conduit based on distance and FLA; terminate conductors to spec.
• Identify and order parts via manuals and prints; coordinate with vendors and contractors.
