Job description

Rebar Machine Service is a family-owned, manufacturing business that has beencommitted to quality craftsmanship and innovation for over 40 years. We are seeking askilled and versatile Electrical Control Panel Designer and Builder to lead both theelectrical design and physical assembly of industrial control systems for our machinery.In this role, you will design electrical circuits, generate schematics/prints, selecthardware components, and physically build, wire, and integrate panels and electro-mechanical assemblies for our rebar bending and shearing machinery. This role bridgeshands-on panel fabrication with practical electrical design and drafting to ensure ourheavy-duty machinery operates safely, efficiently, and reliably.KEY RESPONSIBILITIESElectrical Circuit Design and Schematic DraftingElectrical Design and Prints: Design industrial electrical control circuits, power distribution, and control panel layouts for rebar bending and shearing equipment using CAD software (e.g., AutoCAD Electrical, SolidWorks Electrical, or similar)Component Selection and BOM Creation: Select appropriate electrical components (breakers, contactors, PLCs, VFDs/motor drives, relays, terminal blocks, sensors, safety interlocks) and build accurate Bills of Materials (BOMs)for productionSchematic & Documentation Maintenance: Create, update, and maintain detailed electrical schematics, point-to-point wiring diagrams, panel layout drawings, and fluid power (hydraulic/pneumatic) interconnections. Update as-built drawings following testing or design changesElectrical Control Panel Building and WiringPanel Fabrication and Assembly: Layout, drill, tap, punch, and mount electrical hardware into enclosures and back-panels based on your created layout drawings and UL508A / shop standardsPoint-to-Point Wiring: Cut, strip, crimp, label, route, and terminate conductors, cables, and wire harnesses according to electrical schematics and wire listsComponent Wiring: Accurately install and wire components dedicated to rebar bending and shearing control systems (e.g., motor drives, sensors, limit switches, solenoids, foot pedals)Rebar Machine Electrical and Hydraulic/Pneumatic IntegrationMachine Wiring and Hookup: Perform main panel-to-machine wiring, connecting sensors, hydraulic/pneumatic valves, safety interlocks, and heavy-duty motors on rebar shears and bendersTesting and Troubleshooting: Perform point-to-point circuit verification using digital multimeters (DMM), test continuity, power up control panels, and troubleshoot electrical, PLC I/O, pneumatic, and hydraulic issues during pre-shipment machine testingQuality, Safety and Continuous ImprovementQuality Inspection: Inspect completed control panels and wiring to ensure compliance with design schematics, company quality standards, and safety regulationsWorkplace Safety: Safe operation of hand tools, power tools, wire cutters, punch drivers, and wire-labeling printers. Follow all shop safety protocolsHousekeeping: Maintain a clean, safe, and organized workstation and shop work area at all timesQUALIFICATIONSDesign and Technical ExperienceExperience: Minimum 2–3 years of experience in electrical control panel design, circuit creation, and panel building within an industrial manufacturing or machinery environmentCAD and Drafting Literacy: Proficient in using electrical CAD software (e.g., AutoCAD Electrical) to create and modify electrical schematics, panel layouts, and single-line diagramsControl Systems Knowledge: Strong understanding of industrial control panel design practices, electrical safety, UL508A standards, low-voltage power distribution, VFDs, motor controls, PLCs, and sensor integrationTools and Measurement: Skilled in using electrical test equipment (multimeters/DMM), hand tools, power tools (drills, taps, knockouts), and wire crimping/termination toolsEducation and General SkillsAssociate degree or Vocational/Technical degree in Electrical Engineering Technology, Industrial Automation, Electro-Mechanical Technology, or equivalent practical experienceBasic computer skills (Microsoft Office, CAD software, email)Strong analytical, problem-solving, and detail-oriented mindset with clear verbal and written communication skillsPhysical and Environmental RequirementsPhysical Capability: Ability to stand or walk for extended periods, sit, stoop, bend, kneel, reach, climb, and perform repetitive hand dexterity movements (manipulating wires, tools, and small components)Lifting: Ability to regularly lift and/or move up to 50 lbs.Visual & Hearing Acuity: Normal visual acuity (including color vision for wire identification), speech, and hearingWorkplace Environment: Combined office/desk environment (for design/drafting) and manufacturing workshop environment (for panel assembly and machine testing) with potential exposure to shop noise, dust, and variable temperaturesFlexibility: Willingness and ability to work overtime as required by production schedulesWhat We OfferComprehensive benefits (medical, dental, vision, retirement)Paid training and ongoing skill development.A supportive, team-oriented work environment with clear growth pathsE04JI800sm9l409f4rj
