Job Description

Industrial Plant Power Distribution & Controls Electrician

Build your career with Ashley Furniture. Join the team that powers the world’s largest home furnishings manufacturer.

A day in the life

You start by reviewing work orders, scanning the floor for safety, and prepping materials. Mid-morning, you’re pulling cable and setting up new circuits for a production line. After lunch, a lighting circuit trips—your troubleshooting isolates the fault in distribution equipment, you repair the conduit and conductors, verify proper operation, and document the fix. Before wrap-up, you update drawings, note parts used, operate shop tools to fabricate a quick bracket, and leave the workspace spotless—ready for the next shift.

What you will do

• Install complete electrical systems for new construction and plant expansions.
• Diagnose issues across power, lighting, controls, and equipment to uncover root causes of distribution failures.
• Modify, upgrade, and expand existing electrical infrastructure and components.
• Repair electrical devices, conduit runs, and conductors; perform minor equipment maintenance and routine recordkeeping.
• Quickly report faulty machines and defective materials to your supervisor.
• Operate shop equipment (saws, grinders, drills, and more) and verify work meets specifications.
• Interpret shop drawings, one-lines, schematics, wiring diagrams, sketches, and work orders to complete assigned tasks.
• Work safely at all times and model Ashley’s Core and Growth Values.
• Keep work and shop areas clean, orderly, and inspection-ready.

QualificationsRequired

• Current state journeyman or master electrician license in good standing.
• 3–5 years of hands-on commercial/industrial experience (power distribution, motor controls, lighting).
• Comfort working safely from 120V through 480V systems.
• Fluency reading electrical schematics, wiring diagrams, one-line drawings, and control logic.

Preferred

• Exposure to building automation and controls (PLCs, VFDs, BMS).
• Background in industrial maintenance within manufacturing or large facility settings (production equipment, conveyors).
• Associate degree or technical certification in Electrical Technology, Industrial Maintenance, or related field.
