Industrial Power and Controls Maintenance Electrician

Job Description Job Description Your Day, Powered by Precision

Picture this: the plant is humming at full speed. A heat-treatment unit throws a fault, production halts, and you step in. You trace the issue through a 480V, 3-phase feed, validate readings with your meter set, isolate the failure in the VFD chain, and bring the line back online-safely and efficiently. If that sounds like your kind of day, you'll thrive here.

What You'll Do

• Build and maintain systems: Assemble, install, test, and service industrial electrical wiring, apparatus, and fixtures using hand, power, and precision measuring tools.
• Diagnose fast, fix right: Pinpoint issues in circuits and components with ohmmeters, voltmeters, and megohmmeters; identify root causes and perform lasting repairs.
• Connect the powertrain: Wire circuit breakers, transformers, VFDs, and related equipment with craftsmanship and code compliance.
• Own critical assets: Care for production machinery across heat treatment operations, hydrotesters, and threading lines-plus integrated control systems-ensuring adherence to local, state, and federal codes.
• Support beyond the panel: Collaborate with multi-trade teammates; assist with mechanical troubleshooting, basic rigging, and plant support needs.
• Lead with safety: Rigorously follow LOTO, PPE requirements, and all site safety protocols.

Where You'll Work

• At heights using ladders, scaffolds, and rooftops when required.
• In a heavy industrial setting with heat/cold swings, dust, and dirt, moving with urgency yet safely.
• Operating forklifts and aerial lifts when certified or once trained and cleared to do so.

Technical Strengths We Rely On

• Power distribution: 3-phase systems, 480V, AC/DC equipment, transformers, and industrial power supplies.
• Controls & automation: PLCs, ladder logic, digital logic, and I/O devices.
• Motion & drives: Configuration, programming, and troubleshooting of VFDs and AC control equipment.
• Prints & drawings: Fluency in interpreting electrical schematics and mechanical blueprints.
• Work style: Self-directed, responsive to operational direction, and able to pivot priorities to meet production needs.

Qualifications

• Education: High school diploma or GED required.
• Preferred: Active electrician's license, a 2-year technical degree in electrical technology, or completion of an electrical apprenticeship.
• Availability: Willing to work 12-hour rotating day/night shifts, weekends, overtime, and respond to emergency call-outs.
• Background Check: Candidates must pass a pre-employment background check, drug screening, and physical work assessment.

Core Proficiencies

• Reading and applying complex electrical schematics
• Electrical troubleshooting and diagnostics in industrial settings
• Repairing and maintaining industrial electrical systems and heavy equipment
• National Electrical Code (NEC) familiarity
• Hands-on experience with industrial power and controls

Tools, Platforms, and Equipment
