Industrial Controls Electrician (Plant Automation)

At our Mooresville, NC facility, you’ll be the go-to expert when advanced electrical challenges appear. Your day starts at 7:00 AM with a review of work orders and a check-in with the Maintenance Manager you report to. By mid-morning, you might be tracing a fault across 120/208/240/480V power systems, swapping a servo motor, or fine-tuning an Allen-Bradley or Siemens PLC to get a production line back online. In the afternoon, you could be installing new controls hardware or assisting with upgrades that touch hydraulics, pneumatics, and mechanical systems—because our in-house electrical bench is lean, your expertise is pivotal.
