Job Description

Electrical Technician / Panel Builder - Control Panel Wiring

Location: Rochester Hills, MI · Pay: $20.00–$28.00

If a perfectly dressed wire bundle makes you a little emotional, you're in the right place. Our client, an established industrial automation manufacturer, needs an Electrical Technician / Panel Builder to build and wire control panels for robotic systems. You'll turn schematics and prints into finished assemblies that go on to run real machines, and you'll know your handiwork is out there keeping robots on task.

What you'll do

• Build and wire control panels for robotic automation systems from schematics, wiring diagrams and bills of material
• Lay out enclosures and subpanels, make the cutouts, and check every component against the BOM
• Wire to the correct voltage levels and standard color codes, so nobody downstream plays 'guess that wire'
• Inspect your own work for quality, continuity and safety before it leaves your bench
• Close out work orders in the Oracle ERP system and flag issues to your supervisor and team
• Keep your area 5S-organized, your tools calibrated, and the daily build schedule on track
• Step up at senior levels: keep teammates accountable, drive improvements, and give feedback on custom and new builds

What you bring

• Bring a high school diploma or equivalent plus 1 to 5 years in manufacturing electrical assembly and test
• Read electrical, mechanical and pneumatic prints with confidence, since you may be asked to show it in the interview
• Draw on a background as a panel, maintenance, repair, quality or automotive technician, or an electrical apprentice
• Handle wire strippers, crimpers, soldering irons and other hand tools like old friends
• Follow lockout/tagout, hazmat, PPE, fork truck and MIOSHA safety requirements without needing reminders
• Work in a disciplined way on your own and explain technical issues clearly to anyone
• Know ISO 9001 requirements, which is a plus

Good to know

Most of the work happens in a clean, well-lit, air-conditioned facility, so July heat waves become someone else's problem, though you may occasionally be assigned to other locations. Expect to lift up to 50 pounds and operate shop equipment. The role spans several technician levels, so there's room to grow.
