Industrial Power and Controls Electrician

About the Role

Step into a hands-on role that keeps production safe, reliable, and on schedule. As our Industrial Power and Controls Electrician, you’ll blend diagnostics, precision installation, and code-compliant maintenance across both high-voltage distribution and low-voltage control systems.

A Day in the Life

You start by opening our internet-based work order system in a Microsoft Windows environment to review priorities. A call comes in: a critical machine has stopped. You arrive with meter in hand, trace the fault through the circuit, and restore operation. Later, you’re conducting scheduled inspections, confirming equipment meets code, correcting hazards, and documenting adjustments. In the afternoon you’re assembling and testing new wiring and fixtures, then verifying continuity and safety across circuits before sign-off.

What You’ll Do

• Pinpoint causes of equipment and system failures using test instruments and hand tools, then implement effective fixes.
• Inspect electrical systems, equipment, and components to identify hazards, defects, and needed adjustments or repairs, ensuring compliance with applicable codes.
• Repair or replace wiring, devices, and equipment using appropriate hand and power tools.
• Assemble, install, test, and maintain electrical/electronic wiring, equipment, and fixtures with exacting workmanship.
• Verify system integrity and circuit continuity with instruments such as ohmmeters, voltmeters, oscilloscopes, digital multimeters, and ammeters to confirm safety and compatibility.
• Use basic computer skills to navigate a Microsoft Windows environment and manage tasks through an internet-based work order system.

Technical Environment

• High-voltage power up to 480V three-phase and 500V DC.
• Low-voltage control circuits supporting automation and machine logic.
• AC/DC drives and PLCs in a manufacturing setting.
• Integration points with pneumatic and hydraulic systems.

What You Bring

• Proven troubleshooting across 480V 3-phase and up to 500V DC systems.
• Expertise with low-voltage controls and related diagnostics.
• Fluency with test equipment: digital multimeters, ammeters, and similar instruments.
• Ability to read electrical schematics, recognize symbols, and interpret specifications accurately.
• Working command of electrical theory, including practical application of Ohm’s law.
• Hands-on mechanical aptitude involving pneumatic and hydraulic components.
• Experience working with AC/DC variable speed drives and PLC-based automation in manufacturing.
