Step into a Day as Our Industrial Maintenance Electrician

You arrive with your lockable toolbox, review the day’s oral and written work orders from your supervisor, and map out a plan. Before the first machine spins up, you’ve already traced a schematic, verified a control circuit, and queued parts from stock so production never misses a beat.

What you’ll take on

• Assemble, install, maintain, and repair electrical systems on factory and production equipment, including power, control, and communication circuits.
• Lay out, install, modify, maintain, and fix wiring, control and communication systems, circuit breakers, transformers, and related electrical components.
• Analyze failures in power, control, and communications; diagnose root causes; make precise repairs to spec; and confirm correct operation before turning equipment back to production.
• Fabricate special-purpose units that support electrical measurement, control, and communications for the plant.
• Use shop equipment—drill press, band saw, pipe threading machine, shear, and press brake—to fabricate parts; prep and paint components as needed.
• Soft-solder and silver-solder when assemblies call for it.
• Pull necessary tools, equipment, and hardware from stock; bring and maintain your own hand tools and a lockable toolbox.
• Interpret maintenance specifications, blueprints, schematics, and wiring diagrams to plan and execute work accurately.
• Apply the National Electrical Code alongside plant electrical standards in every task.
• Perform scheduled and condition-based preventive maintenance across a wide range of production and factory electrical assets.
• Fulfill responsibilities aligned with an Electronic Electrician (EE) as required by the role.
• Complete required company records with clarity and timeliness.
• Model safe work practices and maintain a clean, orderly environment.

What success looks like

• Production uptime stays high because you solved an intermittent control fault by reading the schematic, isolating a failing transformer tap, and validating the fix.
• A new line starts on time because you laid out and installed communication/control wiring to spec and verified every circuit.
• Preventive maintenance catches issues early—your careful inspections and documentation avoid unplanned downtime.

Qualifications

Required

Preferred

• 3–5 years of industrial electrical experience.
• Active State-Licensed Journeyman credential.
• 2+ years in a manufacturing setting.

Standards you live by

• NEC and plant electrical standards guide your decisions.
• Safety, documentation, and housekeeping are non-negotiable.
