Industrial Controls Electrician
A day in the life
When the plant starts humming, you’re the expert ensuring every circuit and control keeps pace. You’ll move from interpreting schematics to diagnosing a finicky motor drive, then pivot to tuning instrumentation or swapping a transmitter that’s drifting off-spec. Preventative checks keep downtime at bay, while your documentation in the CMMS makes the next fix even faster.
What you’ll tackle
- Perform electrical maintenance, troubleshooting, and repair across industrial machinery and facility systems
- Diagnose and service motors, drives, starters, breakers, transformers, and control circuits
- Read and apply electrical schematics, blueprints, and detailed wiring diagrams
- Work with PLCs, instrumentation, and electronic control platforms
- Replace and install components including motors, valves, thermocouples, and transmitters
- Execute and support preventative maintenance to improve reliability and reduce unplanned stops
- Enter and track work orders in CMMS; identify and source required parts
- Operate mobile equipment and assist with rigging when needed
- Champion safety procedures while keeping the workspace orderly and clean
What you bring
- Hands-on industrial electrical maintenance experience (required)
- Proven troubleshooting ability across electrical and control systems
- Background with PLCs, instrumentation, and industrial automation (preferred)
- Ability to interpret electrical schematics and technical drawings
- Knowledge of power distribution and AC/DC circuits
- Proficiency with hand tools, electrical test instruments, and precision measuring devices
- Comfort working independently as well as collaboratively
Work environment and physical demands
- Lift up to 100 lbs
- Work at heights, in confined spaces, and across varying temperature conditions
- Frequent standing, walking, climbing, bending, and repetitive motion
- Comfort operating in areas with dust, fumes, and typical industrial conditions
Additional information
- Must pass an electrical aptitude test
- Safety-first mindset at all times
