This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced electrical assembler or industrial controls technician who enjoys hands‑on technical work, troubleshooting electrical systems, and building custom industrial equipment.

In this role, you'll assemble, wire, troubleshoot, and test electrical control panels used in custom‑engineered industrial HVAC equipment. Unlike repetitive production environments, our engineered‑to‑order manufacturing process offers the opportunity to work with a variety of electrical configurations, components, and technical challenges.

We're looking for someone who can work independently, interpret electrical schematics, develop panel layouts, and take pride in producing high‑quality electrical assemblies.

Required Qualifications

• High school diploma or GED.
• Ability to read and interpret electrical schematics, wiring diagrams, blueprints, and assembly drawings.
• Experience assembling, wiring, troubleshooting, and testing electrical control panels.
• Ability to work independently with minimal supervision.
• Knowledge of industrial electrical components, including relays, contactors, transformers, terminal blocks, motor starters, disconnects, and control circuits.
• Ability to develop panel layouts and determine component placement using supplied specifications, schematics, and existing designs.
• Strong electrical troubleshooting, critical thinking, and problem‑solving skills.
• Ability to identify drawing discrepancies, wiring issues, and manufacturing concerns.
• Basic computer skills for production documentation and work instructions.
• Ability to safely use electrical assembly tools, measuring devices, and manufacturing equipment.
• Willingness to cross‑train in electrical assembly, HVAC equipment testing, fan balancing, and other manufacturing operations.
• Ability to lift up to 50 pounds and perform the physical requirements of the position.

Preferred Qualifications

• 3+ years of experience in electrical panel assembly, industrial electrical systems, controls, or related manufacturing.
• Experience developing electrical panel layouts from schematics, bills of materials, existing panels, or design concepts.
• Technical school, trade school, apprenticeship, or vocational training in electrical systems, industrial maintenance, mechatronics, or controls.
• Experience working in custom‑engineered or made‑to‑order manufacturing environments.
• Familiarity with industrial HVAC equipment, air handlers, furnaces, or related mechanical systems.
• Experience with Lean Manufacturing, 5S, or continuous improvement programs.
• Overhead crane certification.
• Demonstrated commitment to safety, quality, productivity, and teamwork.

Why Join Mestex?

At Mestex, you'll work on specialized industrial HVAC equipment that requires technical expertise, precision, and problem‑solving.

This isn't just another repetitive assembly position. You'll have the opportunity to work with custom electrical control panels, expand your technical skills, collaborate with experienced manufacturing professionals, and contribute to equipment built for demanding industrial applications.
