Job description

If furnaces, burners, and temperature accuracy are your world, this role was built for you.

Please note this position is located onsite in Starkville, MS.

Summary of Role:

We are seeking a Pyrometry Electrician to support critical thermal systems across a large-scale aluminum manufacturing operation. This role focuses on the calibration, maintenance, testing, and troubleshooting of temperature measurement and burner systems that directly influence product quality, energy efficiency, and operational safety.

You will be part of a specialized team supporting all major process areas, working hands‑on with high‑temperature industrial systems in a modern manufacturing environment.

This position is ideal for pyrometry professionals who want ownership, technical depth, and stability, not rotating general maintenance work.

Essential Duties and Responsibilities:

• Calibrate, maintain, test, and troubleshoot pyrometry equipment including thermocouples, thermistors, RTDs, and IR pyrometers
• Set up, optimize, and troubleshoot gas‑and‑air‑fired industrial burners
• Support furnace and oven functional testing in compliance with NFPA‑86 and local safety requirements
• Analyze temperature data to establish thermal control limits and measurement sensitivity thresholds
• Identify improvement opportunities and proactively resolve thermal process issues
• Work directly with operations to ensure safe, reliable, and repeatable temperature control

Education and Experience:

• Electrical, mechanical, maintenance, or controls background with strong troubleshooting skills (DC to 120VAC)
• Hands‑on experience with contact and non‑contact temperature measurement systems
• Experience working with natural gas‑fired industrial burners and gas safety trains
• Ability to read electrical schematics, panel drawings, and mechanical drawings
• Manufacturing or heavy industrial experience (aluminum or steel strongly preferred)
• Familiarity with NFPA and OSHA codes
• Working knowledge of PLCs and basic control architecture

Why This Role Stands Out

• Pyrometry is treated as a core technical discipline, not an add‑on to maintenance
• Exposure to large‑scale, high‑temperature aluminum processing equipment
• Long‑term stability within a growing domestic manufacturing operation
• Opportunity to make measurable impact on safety, quality, and throughput
• Relocation support for qualified pyrometry professionals nationwide
