Overview:

We are seeking an experienced electrical panel builder to join a growing team supporting the build and integration of highly customized automation and precision assembly machinery.

  • Clean, high-tech manufacturing environment

  • Opportunity to work closely with engineering and controls teams
  • Strong variety in projects — no two machines are exactly the same
  • Stable company with a strong reputation in precision automation and custom machinery
