  • 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 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.
