Industrial Power and Automation Electrician

Do you thrive on solving complex electrical problems that keep heavy industry running around the clock? Are you comfortable moving from a PLC fault to a motor control diagnosis, then supporting operators to bring a line back up—all in the same shift? If so, you will feel right at home helping a leading steel producer maintain continuous operations.

What will you do?

  • Troubleshoot, install, maintain, and repair diverse electrical and electronic systems and equipment using schematics, AC/DC systems, PLCs, and test instruments.
  • Pitch in with operating activities when needed to sustain production.
  • Alternate between independent work with minimal supervision and teamwork with other maintenance technicians.
  • Operate across multiple plant areas, where conditions may be hot or cold and surfaces can be dirty, greasy, wet, and noisy.

Who succeeds here?

  • Those who pass assessment test(s) and bring a High School Diploma or GED.
  • Electricians with at least 1 year of manufacturing/industrial experience (or equivalent education), including exposure to: industrial electronics; motors and controls; electrical power and schematics; print reading; computers and PLCs; electronics; AC/DC theory; power; test instruments and instrumentation; electrical maintenance; commercial construction and installation.
  • Professionals ready for rotating 8-hour shifts that include Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays, plus overtime when needed.
  • Safety champions who strictly follow procedures and wear required PPE: hard hats, safety glasses, hearing protection, protective clothing, and metatarsal-guarded boots.
  • Reliable, punctual self-starters with consistent attendance.

Where will you work?

In a heavy industrial environment alongside mobile equipment, pendant and overhead cranes, and forklifts—supporting the electrical backbone that powers steel production.

Tech you will touch

  • Allen‑Bradley Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs)

If you are eager to keep critical equipment energized and production on track, this role lets you own meaningful outcomes every shift.
