• Diagnose issues where proper phase-to-phase power is crucial.
• Perform electrical PMs across multiple FedEx facilities.

• Maintain and repair conveyors, belts, rollers, bearings, and related systems.
• Light MIG welding as needed.
• Assist with general maintenance tasks to support facility operations.

• Travel daily to FedEx locations throughout the region.
• Participate in a predictable on call rotation (1 week on / 2 weeks off ).
• Provide professional, customer-facing support and communicate repair findings.

• Strong industrial electrical background is a must.
• Hands-on experience with:
  • Three-phase wiring & 480V motors
  • VFDs and AC motor control
  • Conveyor systems or industrial material-handling equipment
• Ability to troubleshoot to the PLC I/O level (no programming required).
• Mechanical aptitude and willingness to perform multi skill maintenance.
• MIG welding experience preferred.
• Valid driver’s license and ability to travel daily.
• Ability to meet a 2-hour on-call response window .
• Strong communication and customer service skills

• On-call rotation: 1 week on / 2 weeks off
• Paid travel time — you’re on the clock as soon as you leave home
• Company vehicle provided after demonstrating reliability
• Work independently while being supported by a strong technical team
• Opportunities to grow your electrical expertise across multiple facilities
