Industrial Controls Maintenance Electrician

Location: Euclid

Picture your day starting on the plant floor in Euclid, where advanced welding, cutting, and automation equipment power a global manufacturing leader. Under general supervision, you’ll take ownership of keeping complex machines and systems safe, available, and at peak performance. Your direction comes from the Group Leader and a Machine Repair Electrician A, and you report directly to the department Manager. The schedule is primarily first shift, but you’re ready when operations call—second or third shift, split shifts, 12-hour rotations, weekends, holidays, and on-call coverage.

What you’ll tackle

• Own off-shift priorities: assess production needs and safety requirements to determine what must be fixed first.
• Diagnose, adjust, and repair automated equipment, process systems, robotic cells, and combustion systems so they run reliably and safely.
• Plan and execute preventive maintenance; recommend upgrades that improve uptime, capability, and yield.
• Analyze equipment failures, both scheduled and unscheduled; document findings and corrective actions for regulatory purposes.
• Commission and validate new equipment installations—configure controls, test functionality, and ensure work is clearly documented.
• Support engineering on test rigs and fixtures; collect, compile, and summarize test data to resolve product or equipment issues.
• Perform bench repairs on production equipment and spare assemblies; oversee maintenance contracts and vendor service as assigned.
• Order, track, and maintain spare parts; keep neat, accurate maintenance records.
• Collaborate with Engineering, Production Team Leads, Manager, Group Leaders, and peers to achieve results.
• Report maintenance and safety concerns immediately; contribute to procedure and equipment upgrades.
• Rotate between Mentor and Euclid facilities as training or job needs require.

How you’ll work

• Follow all company specifications, procedures, and applicable regulatory requirements.
• Perform efficiently and safely, offering guidance to less experienced electricians.
• Adapt your schedule to meet operational goals; be prepared for weekends, off-shifts, holidays, and on-call assignments.
• Take on additional responsibilities in support of the Company’s Strategy as needed.

Skills and experience you bring

• Completion of an Electrician Apprentice Program, an Associate degree/certificate in Electronics/Electrical Technology, or equivalent experience.
• Successful completion of the skilled trade assessment for this role.
• Foundational troubleshooting skills in electrical systems; familiarity with combustion and/or hydraulic systems is helpful or may be required.
• Working knowledge of relay logic, industrial controls, electronics, and PLCs.
• Ability to read and interpret electrical schematics, wiring diagrams, ladder logic, and engineering drawings.
• Competence using a computer to interface with machine control systems and PLCs; able to diagnose root causes, make repairs, and verify proper operation.
• Proficient with measurement tools such as multimeters, oscilloscopes, and megohmmeters.
• Excellent attendance, organization, and communication skills.
• Team-focused, self-motivated, safety- and quality-driven; works with minimal supervision.
• Capable of occasionally lifting up to 75 lbs; mechanically inclined and able to operate hoists, forklifts, and scissor lifts.
• Comfortable working in confined spaces, climbing ladders, and working at heights up to 30 feet.
• Able to wear a respirator and accurately distinguish color codes on wires and electronic components.
• Committed to continuous learning and able to understand and apply job-related specifications and procedures.

Selected candidate’s Job Level and Pay Grade will be determined based upon qualifications and experiences.
