We’re looking for an experienced TBM Electrician to join our tunneling team and keep our Tunnel Boring Machines (TBMs) powered, running, and pushing forward.

• Rapidly respond to downtime events to diagnose and resolve electrical failures
• Perform regular preventative maintenance and inspections to minimize unplanned stoppages
• Work alongside mechanical technicians, operators, and engineers to ensure continuous tunneling operations
• Read and interpret electrical schematics, wiring diagrams, and PLC control systems
• Support startup, commissioning, and testing of electrical systems pre- and post-dig
• Track and log equipment issues, resolutions, and improvements in real time

Qualifications

• 3+ years of experience as an industrial electrician, preferably in mining, tunneling, or heavy equipment
• Strong understanding of low- and high-voltage systems, VFDs, and control panels
• Comfortable working in underground environments and in rotating shifts
• Ability to work independently under pressure and adapt in a fast‑paced field environment
• Experience with TBMs or other tunneling equipment strongly preferred
