Job Description

This role works as part of a team of technicians to build custom-engineered electrical solutions for advanced equipment used in highly technical industries, including aerospace and space applications. You will install, assemble, and support electrical and automation systems while following relevant codes and standards and contributing to high-quality, reliable equipment builds.

Responsibilities

  • Run cable, land and terminate connections for 24V wiring in accordance with project requirements and standards.
  • Install cable trays, e-chains, and conduit to support and protect electrical wiring and components.
  • Follow NEC and NFPA requirements with guidance to ensure safe and compliant electrical installations.

  • Perform soldering and assembly of small technical parts with precision and attention to detail.
  • Provide electrical support for industrial automation systems, including wiring, testing, and adjustments.
  • Redline and update drawings and schematics to reflect as-built conditions and design changes.
  • Use a multimeter and other test equipment to verify continuity, voltage, and proper circuit operation.
  • Work in both workshop and client-site environments to complete installations, modifications, and repairs.
  • Adhere to safety procedures and best practices when working around live circuits and potential electrical hazards.
  • Collaborate with other technicians and engineers to meet project timelines and quality expectations.
  • Maintain a clean and organized work area, ensuring tools, materials, and components are properly stored and handled.
Essential Skills
  • Approximately 2 years of electrical experience preferred but not required, with a focus on industrial or equipment wiring.
  • Ability to read and interpret electrical drawings and schematics accurately.
  • Ability to redline drawings and schematics to document changes and improvements.
  • Experience troubleshooting electrical circuits using a multimeter.
  • Proficiency in running, landing, and terminating 24V wiring.
  • Ability to install cable trays, e-chains, and conduit safely and neatly.
  • Familiarity with NEC and NFPA requirements and willingness to follow them with guidance.
  • Skill in soldering and assembling small technical electrical parts.
  • Capability to provide electrical support for industrial automation systems.
  • Ability to work safely in tight spaces and environments with potential electrical shock hazards.
  • Physical ability to perform repetitive bending and reaching and to lift up to 30 pounds.
  • Ability to read and decipher prints and see fine detail for terminating wires.
Additional Skills & Qualifications
  • Experience bending electrical conduit is preferred.
  • Experience building certified electrical panels is a plus.
  • Familiarity with AutoCAD software is a plus.
  • Prior experience working in aerospace, space, or other highly technical industries is beneficial.
  • Comfort working in environments with varying noise levels, from moderate to high.
  • Ability to travel locally up to 50% of the time to support work at client sites.
  • Strong attention to detail and commitment to producing high-quality, reliable work.
  • Willingness to follow established safety procedures and contribute to a safe work environment.
Why Work Here?

You will join a family-owned organization that values long-term relationships, hands-on craftsmanship, and a supportive team culture. The work offers exposure to innovative aerospace and space projects, giving you the opportunity to contribute to cutting-edge technology while developing your skills. You can expect a clean, professional environment, meaningful technical challenges, and the chance to grow your career in a company that values quality, collaboration, and continuous improvement.
