Plant Automation Electrician - Maintenance and PLC Systems

Dexter Group

Job Description

Where you’ll work: Albion, Indiana (Dexter Manufacturing Facility)
Working hours: Third Shift, 10:00 PM–6:00 AM

Our mission: Dexter equips commercial trailer, RV, heavy-duty, marine, agriculture, and manufactured housing markets with axles, suspensions, brakes, doors, venting, trailer parts, accessories, and towing components. To deliver flawlessly, our plant automation must perform at its peak—especially overnight.

The Challenge

Uptime is everything. As a Plant Automation Electrician , you will be the overnight guardian of our controls and power systems. When a CNC spindle faults, a robot fails to home, or a sensor chain misbehaves, you’ll move from symptom to source to solution—then lock in improvements so the issue doesn’t return.

Apply electrical codes, standards, and best practices to diagnose and repair issues safely
Perform deep-dive troubleshooting on CNC machinery and robotic cells
Drive root-cause analysis and implement robust, long-term corrective actions
Modify and troubleshoot PLC ladder logic with appropriate diagnostic software
Maintain solid-state components and integrated control architectures
Execute independent repairs and coach peers when needed
Run preventive and corrective maintenance to sustain reliable throughput
Respond quickly to production requests to cut downtime
Assume leadership for the shift in the absence of supervision

What You Know

Industrial electrical systems, automation, CNC equipment, and robotics
Advanced troubleshooting of electrical and control systems
Electrical theory and calculations relevant to manufacturing
PLCs and ladder logic—both programming and diagnostics
How to thrive independently in a fast-moving environment

How You Work

Proactive problem solver with a solutions-first mindset
Flexible for overtime to meet production schedules
Dependable, with consistent attendance
Committed to safety, quality, and continuous improvement culture
Collaborative and supportive of a strong team environment

Credentials

Associate’s degree (two-year college/technical school) or equivalent; or 5+ years of related experience/training ; or an equivalent mix of education and experience

Core Strengths

Electrical troubleshooting expertise
Hands-on industrial electrical experience

Systems You’ll Support

CNC automation solutions
Programmable Logic Controllers (PLC)
Industrial robotics
