Job description

High Voltage Electrician - US, Ohio - 3-year Contract - Life Sciences

Be part of a next-generation pharmaceutical project that’s transforming how medicines are made.

We’re supporting a major new-build facility in Ohio, a multi-billion-dollar investment designed to push the boundaries of science and engineering. We’re looking for a High Voltage Electrician to support this project and help deliver this world-class program.

What You’ll Deliver

• A specialist medium-/high-voltage position, working directly on 4.16kV–12.47kV critical plant infrastructure rather than general commercial electrical work.
• Opportunity to be involved in a major new-build environment: inspecting and accepting newly installed switchgear, transformers, breakers and distribution equipment as it transfers from construction into plant maintenance.
• Varied technical scope across fault-finding, testing, preventive and condition-based maintenance, including infrared inspections and safe energisation support.
• High-impact role supporting the reliability and safe operation of a world-leading pharmaceutical manufacturing site.
• Strong exposure to engineering, construction and maintenance teams, giving the individual a chance to be a technical voice in construction-to-operations turnover rather than solely completing routine maintenance tasks.

What you’ll need:

• Professional, hands-on experience as a High-Voltage or Medium-Voltage Electrician.
• Demonstrable experience working directly on systems and equipment operating between 4,160V and 12,470V.
• Practical experience performing maintenance, testing, troubleshooting or installation work on industrial medium- or high-voltage electrical systems.
