Job Description

Plant Electrical Systems & Automation Electrician

Employer: Summit Service Solutions

Location: Lebanon, PA

Schedule & Pay: Full-time, first shift; $30–$35 per hour, based on experience

Your day, reimagined

It’s first shift in a fast-moving manufacturing plant. You start by reviewing the work orders queued for the day—one calls for bringing a new packaging line online, another for tracing a nuisance trip in a motor control center. After a lockout/tagout and a double-check of load capacity, you pull conductors, set a disconnect, and verify phase rotation. An hour later, a VFD needs commissioning, photo eyes require fine-tuning, and a PLC-controlled station awaits I/O checks before production can ramp. By day’s end, you’ve minimized downtime, verified signals end‑to‑end, and left the floor safer than you found it.

That’s the cadence you’ll find with Summit Service Solutions as we place an experienced Industrial Electrician with a long-term manufacturing partner in Lebanon, PA.

What you’ll handle

• Power distribution: Install/modify switchgear, transformers, disconnects, MCCs, and distribution panels; run feeders and branch circuits; validate voltage, phase, and load.
• Equipment installs & moves: Connect, commission, and relocate production machinery; install motors, VFDs, control panels, and enclosures; terminate power and control wiring; troubleshoot to keep lines running.
• Automation & controls: Integrate PLC-driven systems; wire sensors, limit switches, and photo eyes; verify communications and signal integrity; test for proper machine operation.
• Safety & compliance: Perform electrical testing; work to NEC, OSHA, LOTO, and GMP standards; execute preventive maintenance to support uptime.

Background in high-throughput environments—plastics, food & beverage, packaging, pharmaceutical, or similar—is highly preferred.

What you bring

• 6+ years as an Industrial Electrician in manufacturing or industrial settings
• Ability to read and interpret blueprints, schematics, and wiring diagrams
• Journeyman or Master Electrician license preferred
• Valid driver’s license and dependable transportation
• Personal hand tools and electrical toolset
