Keep production moving—own the uptime

When the line pauses, you step forward. You trace symptoms to causes, apply electrical theory (yes, including Ohm's law), and turn insight into action—whether that means tuning a VFD, updating a PLC routine, or replacing a worn component. You blend hands-on skill with sharp analysis, using drawings, prints, and schematics to guide smart decisions that protect throughput.

Your impact

  • Lead system troubleshooting and analysis to restore and optimize equipment operation.
  • Perform comprehensive electrical repairs—from minor fixes to major interventions.
  • Resolve plant equipment issues and eliminate recurring electrical problems.
  • Work across A.C. & D.C. drives, PLC platforms, and core motor control circuits.
  • Interpret schematics and electrical symbols to plan accurate repairs and modifications.
  • Execute routine care—cleaning, lubrication, and necessary changes or adjustments.
  • Leverage mechanical prints, PI&D drawings, and technical data to inform your work.

What sets you apart

  • Multi-disciplinary capability across electrical, pneumatic, hydraulic, and mechanical domains.
  • Deep command of electrical controls and control fundamentals.
  • Solid manufacturing experience and demonstrated mechanical aptitude.
  • Independent problem-solver with strong troubleshooting instincts.
  • Comfortable with basic mechanical tasks and adept at reading PI&D drawings.

Day-one competencies

  • Mechanical troubleshooting skills
  • Experience with 120/208/240/480 voltage systems
  • Electrical troubleshooting

Tech stack in your hands

  • Variable Frequency Drives (VFD)
  • Programmable Logic Controller (PLC)
  • Conveyor systems
  • Servo motors

Rewards & support

  • Medical, dental, and vision insurance
  • Prescription drug coverage
  • 401(k)
  • Flexible spending accounts

If owning reliability and elevating plant performance motivates you, this is where your skills make a measurable difference.
