Job description

Step Into a Day on Our FloorYou start your shift by scanning work orders and heading to a production line that just signaled a fault. With your multimeter in hand, you quickly isolate the issue in a 24VDC control circuit, swap a failed sensor, and bring the line back online. Later, you route conductors through cable tray, land and label control wiring in a new panel, verify motor rotation after wiring a replacement motor, and wrap up with preventative checks that keep downtime to a minimum—all while following electrical codes and strict lockout/tagout procedures.What You’ll HandleTroubleshoot, diagnose, and repair electrical problems on production machinery and facility equipment.Work across 24VDC through 480V systems, including 120V power circuits.Wire motors and production equipment; verify proper operation.Install, test, and replace sensors, fuses, relays, and related components.Perform circuit tracing and corrective electrical repairs to reduce downtime.Pull, route, and terminate electrical and control conductors.Build, wire, and terminate electrical panels.Read and interpret electrical drawings, schematics, and wiring diagrams.Execute preventative maintenance on electrical systems and equipment.Follow company safety procedures, electrical codes, and lockout/tagout requirements.Partner with production and maintenance teams to support operations.What You BringHands-on background as an Industrial, Maintenance, or Electrical Technician/Electrician.Proficiency wiring motors and industrial equipment.Ability to read and apply electrical schematics.Basic understanding of PLCs.Experience wiring and terminating electrical and control panels.Experience installing and troubleshooting sensors.Experience installing cable tray.Skill with control wiring practices.Capability to troubleshoot and repair 24VDC–480V systems.Solid grasp of circuits, fuses, relays, sensors, and motor controls.Competence using electrical test equipment such as a multimeter.Proven ability to resolve electrical issues safely and efficiently.
