Industrial Maintenance Electrician - Automation & Controls

As our Industrial Maintenance Electrician – Automation & Controls, you’ll be the first call when a line hiccups and the last safeguard before equipment returns to full speed. Picture starting your shift with a brief handoff from the outgoing team, scanning the maintenance backlog, and prioritizing a mix of preventive tasks and high-urgency repairs. A sensor fault triggers a stoppage—you diagnose on the fly, reference schematics, connect to the PLC, verify VFD parameters, and bring the cell back online, minimizing downtime. Later, you’ll complete scheduled PMs, replace a worn servo motor, and document everything for traceability.
