Join Ashley Furniture as an Industrial Electrical Systems Technician

Step into a hands-on role where your craft keeps a large-scale facility running smoothly. From installing new power and lighting to hunting down elusive faults in control circuits, you’ll be the go-to expert ensuring our plant’s electrical infrastructure is safe, reliable, and ready for what’s next.

A Day in the Life

You start your shift reviewing work orders and plans. You might rough-in circuits for a new production area, trace a disturbance in a 480V distribution panel, or repair damaged conduit on a critical line. You talk with operators, document your fixes, and flag anything that needs attention. Safety is your default setting, and housekeeping is part of your routine. By day’s end, you’ve installed, troubleshot, repaired, and helped plan the next improvement—always aligning with Ashley’s Core and Growth Values.
