Steel Mill Industrial Controls Electrician

Step into a role where your electrical expertise keeps heavy industry moving. You’ll support production and facility assets across the Roll Mill and Melt Shop, diagnosing issues fast, wiring with precision, and elevating uptime—always with safety first.

A day in the life

You start with a quick pass through preventative maintenance tasks, verifying sensors and checking panels against schematics. A call from the Roll Mill sends you to trace a control circuit from 24VDC back to the main panel, where a relay needs replacement. Before lunch, you pull and terminate new control wiring, then wire a motor on a piece of production equipment. In the afternoon, you move to the Melt Shop to troubleshoot a 120V power circuit and perform repairs that get equipment back online—lockout/tagout (LOTO) followed to the letter and electrical codes observed throughout.
