    Job Description

    Step Into a Day on Our Floor

    You start your shift by scanning work orders and heading to a production line that just signaled a fault. With your multimeter in hand, you quickly isolate the issue in a 24VDC control circuit, swap a failed sensor, and bring the line back online. Later, you route conductors through cable tray, land and label control wiring in a new panel, verify motor rotation after wiring a replacement motor, and wrap up with preventative checks that keep downtime to a minimum—all while following electrical codes and strict lockout/tagout procedures.

    What You’ll Handle

    • Troubleshoot, diagnose, and repair electrical problems on production machinery and facility equipment.
    • Work across 24VDC through 480V systems, including 120V power circuits.
    • Wire motors and production equipment; verify proper operation.
    • Install, test, and replace sensors, fuses, relays, and related components.
    • Perform circuit tracing and corrective electrical repairs to reduce downtime.
    • Pull, route, and terminate electrical and control conductors.
    • Build, wire, and terminate electrical panels.
    • Read and interpret electrical drawings, schematics, and wiring diagrams.
    • Execute preventative maintenance on electrical systems and equipment.
    • Follow company safety procedures, electrical codes, and lockout/tagout requirements.
    • Partner with production and maintenance teams to support operations.

    What You Bring

    • Hands-on background as an Industrial, Maintenance, or Electrical Technician/Electrician.
    • Proficiency wiring motors and industrial equipment.
    • Ability to read and apply electrical schematics.
    • Basic understanding of PLCs.
    • Experience wiring and terminating electrical and control panels.
    • Experience installing and troubleshooting sensors.
    • Experience installing cable tray.
    • Skill with control wiring practices.
    • Capability to troubleshoot and repair 24VDC–480V systems.
    • Solid grasp of circuits, fuses, relays, sensors, and motor controls.
    • Competence using electrical test equipment such as a multimeter.
    • Proven ability to resolve electrical issues safely and efficiently.
