Job Summary

The Industrial Electrical Maintenance Technician installs, troubleshoots, repairs, and performs preventive maintenance on complex machine control systems, safety circuits, automated robotics, mechanical assemblies, and facility power distribution. This role ensures maximum equipment uptime, strict safety compliance, and operational efficiency across the manufacturing floor.

Key Responsibilities

• Equipment Preventive Maintenance (PMs): Execute scheduled preventive maintenance (PM) tasks on production machinery, electrical panels, and robotics—including cleaning, lubricating, inspecting wear parts, tightening electrical connections, verifying safety circuits, and replacing components to prevent unplanned downtime.
• Machine Controls & Safety Circuits: Diagnose and resolve complex faults in automated machine control systems, dual-channel safety circuits, safety relays, light curtains, interlocks, and emergency stop (E-stop) loops.
• Robotics Operation & Point Teaching: Operate FANUC robots via the Teach Pendant (TP) to clear faults, jog axes safely in T1 mode, verify I/O signals, step through programs, and teach or touch up robot positions/points after mechanical repairs or tooling changes.
• Electrical Troubleshooting & Repair: Troubleshoot and repair malfunctions in 3-phase power systems (up to 480 VAC), AC/DC motors, variable frequency drives (VFDs), servo drives, soft starters, and transformers.
• Basic Mechanical Maintenance: Perform routine mechanical repairs and adjustments, including replacing bearings, belts, chains, sprockets, gearboxes, and pneumatic/hydraulic valves, cylinders, and hoses.
• Automation & PLCs: Inspect, modify, and troubleshoot Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs), Safety PLCs, Human-Machine Interfaces (HMIs), sensors, actuators, and industrial communication networks.
• Installation & Wiring: Read and interpret complex electrical schematics, mechanical blueprints, P&IDs, ladder logic, and single-line drawings to bend conduit, pull wire, terminate connections, and modify control panels.
• Safety & Compliance: Strictly adhere to OSHA regulations, NFPA 70E arc flash standards, machine guarding standards (ANSI/ISO), and Lockout/Tagout (LOTO) procedures on every task.
• Documentation & Teamwork: Log completed PM checklists, work orders, root-cause findings, and parts usage in the Computerized Maintenance Management System (CMMS) and collaborate with controls engineers and production teams.

Qualifications & Requirements

• Education: High school diploma or GED required; Associate degree or technical certification in Industrial Maintenance, Electrical/Controls Technology, or a related trade preferred.
• Experience: 3+ years of hands-on electrical, controls, and multi-craft maintenance experience in an automated manufacturing environment.
• Technical Skills: Proven ability to troubleshoot complicated machine control logic and safety circuits using multimeters, megohmmeters, and PLC/safety software (e.g., Allen-Bradley/Rockwell GuardLogix, Siemens).
• Mechanical & PM Aptitude: Basic mechanical troubleshooting and repair skills, including familiarity with hand and power tools, alignment, power transmission components, pneumatic/hydraulic schematics, and executing structured PM schedules.
• Robotics Proficiency: Working knowledge of FANUC robot operation, Teach Pendant navigation, fault recovery, coordinate systems (Joint, World, Tool, User), and teaching/modifying program points.
• Physical Requirements: Ability to lift up to 50 lbs, climb ladders, work from aerial lifts, and stand, bend, or kneel for extended periods.
• Availability: Willingness to work assigned shifts, occasional overtime, or on-call rotations as needed.

Preferred Qualifications

• Licensing: Journeyman Electrician license or state electrical certification.
• Advanced Robotics: Experience with advanced robotics programming, mastering/calibration, and motion control.
• Safety Standards: Familiarity with Functional Safety standards (ISO 13849 / IEC 62061).
