Responsibilities

• Troubleshoot electrical issues on all types of manufacturing machinery to minimize downtime and maintain safe, efficient operations.
• Work safely with 480V and 3-phase electrical systems, including the installation, repair, and wiring of manufacturing equipment.
• Perform regular preventive maintenance on electrical and electromechanical systems to prevent failures and extend equipment life.
• Read and interpret electrical blueprints, schematics, and wiring diagrams to support accurate installation and troubleshooting.
• Correctly use a voltmeter and related test equipment to diagnose electrical problems and verify system performance.

• Install, adjust, and maintain photo eyes, sensors, and variable frequency drives (VFDs) to support automated processes.
• Support maintenance activities involving AC and DC motors, including wiring, testing, and replacement.
• Collaborate with maintenance and production teams to prioritize tasks, communicate findings, and implement long-term corrective actions.
• Document maintenance activities, repairs, and modifications to ensure accurate records and support continuous improvement.

Essential Skills

• At least 5 years of electrical experience in an industrial or manufacturing environment.
• Strong experience with electrical troubleshooting on manufacturing machinery and equipment.
• Proficiency working with 480V and 3-phase power systems, including safe handling and wiring practices.

• Comfort working on a structured shift schedule such as a 2-2-3 rotation.
• Strong problem-solving skills and the ability to work independently with minimal supervision.
• Clear communication skills to work effectively with maintenance, engineering, and production teams.

Why Work Here?

You will join a team that values technical expertise, reliability, and teamwork, offering strong benefits and a schedule that allows you to work roughly 15 days each month while still maintaining full-time hours. The alternating weekend structure supports better work-life balance, giving you more full days off for personal time, family, or rest. The organization invests in modern automation technologies, providing opportunities to deepen your skills with PLCs, robotics, and advanced electrical systems while contributing to a stable and growing manufacturing operation.

Work Environment

The role is based in an automotive manufacturing facility that is hot, somewhat dirty, and not temperature controlled, so you should be comfortable working in a physically demanding industrial setting. You will work on a 2-2-3 schedule, which typically includes every other weekend and results in working about 15 days per month. The environment involves frequent interaction with heavy machinery, automated equipment, PLC-controlled systems, and industrial robots, requiring adherence to safety procedures and appropriate industrial workwear and protective equipment
