Plant Maintenance Electrician

How you’ll spend your day

You start with a quick safety huddle and a scan of the CMMS to prioritize work orders. A packaging line is down—within minutes you’re tracing a control circuit, reading a schematic, and isolating a faulty starter. Later, you’ll tune a VFD, verify a transformer tap, and commission a replacement motor. Between calls, you update PM tasks that keep our equipment reliable, from checking thermocouples and transmitters to inspecting breakers and valves. When a lift is needed, you operate mobile equipment and coordinate safe rigging so the team can return the line to peak performance.

What you’ll do

• Maintain, troubleshoot, and repair industrial electrical systems and equipment
• Diagnose issues with motors, drives, starters, breakers, transformers, and control circuits
• Interpret electrical schematics, blueprints, and wiring diagrams to solve problems quickly
• Work directly with PLCs, instrumentation, and electronic control systems
• Install and replace components, including motors, valves, thermocouples, and transmitters
• Execute and improve preventative maintenance tasks to reduce unplanned downtime
• Enter, track, and close out work orders in the CMMS; source needed parts
• Operate mobile equipment and assist with rigging when required
• Follow strict safety procedures and keep your work area organized and clean

What you bring

• Hands-on industrial electrical maintenance experience
• Proven troubleshooting ability across power and control systems
• Background with PLCs, instrumentation, and industrial automation (preferred)
• Fluency in reading electrical drawings and schematics
• Knowledge of power distribution and AC/DC circuits
• Comfort using hand tools, test instruments, and precision measuring devices
• Strong individual contributor who collaborates well on a team

Physical demands

• Lift up to 100 lbs
• Work at heights, in confined spaces, and across varying temperatures
• Frequent standing, walking, climbing, bending, and repetitive motion
• Comfort operating in industrial environments with dust and fumes
