Job description

Make an Impact in Apple GroveStep into a key reliability role at a growing steel manufacturing plant in Apple Grove. You’ll be the go-to expert for diagnosing, repairing, and improving complex power and control systems that keep production moving.A Day in the LifeYou arrive, review overnight logs, scan PLC fault histories, and map out a plan. A line trips—within minutes you’re tracing signals, confirming I/O health, and adjusting logic on a Siemens S7 to get product flowing again. Later, you inspect a 4,160V feeder, tune a VFD, and close the loop with maintenance and engineering on a root-cause fix. Before shift’s end, you lend a hand commissioning a newly installed motor control center.What You’ll DoDiagnose and repair electrical issues across heavy industrial steel processes to minimize downtime.Work confidently around power systems including 480V, 4,160V, 13.5kV, and higher as required.Troubleshoot, navigate, and modify PLC logic to restore equipment and optimize throughput.Support Siemens S7 and other automation platforms; resolve communication and I/O faults.Service VFDs, starters, contactors, relays, sensors, and control circuits.Resolve problems with three-phase motors, control panels, and power distribution equipment.Interpret electrical schematics, wiring diagrams, and technical drawings to guide repairs.Execute preventive maintenance and inspections to catch issues before breakdowns occur.Assist with installation, commissioning, and startup of new industrial machinery.Apply rigorous electrical safety practices (including LOTO and high-voltage procedures).Collaborate closely with maintenance, engineering, and operations teams to drive reliability.What You BringHands-on industrial electrical maintenance experience in heavy manufacturing.Expertise with three-phase motors, industrial controls, and high-voltage equipment.Proficiency troubleshooting PLC systems and editing logic when needed.Experience with Siemens, Allen-Bradley, or comparable PLC platforms.Skill with VFDs, motor control circuits, sensors, and electrical distribution systems.Ability to read schematics and independently pinpoint electrical faults.Strong safety mindset: lockout/tagout and safe troubleshooting are second nature.Clear communicator who can work independently and within cross-functional teams.Willingness to work rotating 12-hour day and night shifts.
