Where you’ll work: Albion, Indiana (Dexter Manufacturing Facility)
Working hours: Third Shift, 10:00 PM–6:00 AM
Our mission: Dexter equips commercial trailer, RV, heavy-duty, marine, agriculture, and manufactured housing markets with axles, suspensions, brakes, doors, venting, trailer parts, accessories, and towing components. To deliver flawlessly, our plant automation must perform at its peak—especially overnight.
The Challenge
Uptime is everything. As a Plant Automation Electrician, you will be the overnight guardian of our controls and power systems. When a CNC spindle faults, a robot fails to home, or a sensor chain misbehaves, you’ll move from symptom to source to solution—then lock in improvements so the issue doesn’t return.
