Rolling Mill Power and Controls Electrician (Siemens Systems)

Mural has teamed up with a global OEM to hire an experienced Industrial Electrician for a brand-new steel mill that is entering commissioning. This direct-hire role places you at one of the most significant new steel mill investments in the United States, working hands-on with Siemens-based drive and control systems.

You start your shift walking the rolling mill line, scanning drive status on AC/DC systems for the mill stands and reviewing overnight fault logs. A call comes in: a VFD trips on an MCC. You pull the schematics, trace the circuit, verify encoder signals, and coordinate with controls and mechanical teammates to bring the stand back online safely. Between events, you complete preventive maintenance on transformers and instrumentation—pyrometers, load cells, and encoders—documenting everything and planning the next PM window.

• Maintain and troubleshoot electrical systems on large rolling mill equipment
• Diagnose and repair AC/DC drive systems, MCCs, VFDs, and transformers
• Work within Siemens PLC-based automation (S7 series, TIA Portal) to support operations
• Interpret electrical schematics and wiring diagrams to resolve faults quickly
• Execute preventive maintenance and partner closely with controls and mechanical teams

• Hands-on industrial electrical maintenance with 480V three-phase and higher, MCCs, motors, and drives
• Real-world troubleshooting on VFDs or other large drive systems
• Confident reading electrical schematics and wiring diagrams
• Siemens PLC experience (TIA Portal, S7) is a standout—bring it to the forefront
• Journeyman Electrician license (WV or reciprocal) preferred
• Background in steel mills, aluminum rolling mills, or heavy industry strongly preferred
• NFPA 70E arc flash training and strong LOTO practices
• Comfortable with rotating shifts in an active production environment
• Reliable transportation to Apple Grove, WV (Mason County—about 40 miles north of Huntington)

• Siemens S7, TIA Portal, and related automation
• AC/DC drive systems, variable frequency drives, motor control centers
• Instrumentation: encoders, load cells, pyrometers
• Transformers and high-energy power distribution (480V )

$35–48/hr based on experience. Direct-hire employment with benefits. Located in Apple Grove, West Virginia.

Commissioning a new facility means you’ll help shape standards, influence reliability plans, and work on cutting-edge rolling mill equipment supported by a globally recognized OEM. If you thrive on complex systems and high-impact work, this is your next step.
