• Interpret complex electrical schematics, wiring diagrams, bills of materials, and assembly documentation.
• Perform advanced wiring, electrical troubleshooting, diagnostics, and rework to identify and resolve assembly issues.
• Install and wire electrical components, terminals, connectors, busbars, and control devices according to specifications.
• Verify wire routing, component placement, connections, clearances, and torque requirements.
• Perform electrical testing using multimeters, HIPOT testers, power supplies, and other testing equipment as applicable.
• Conduct detailed quality inspections and verify product compliance with engineering specifications and applicable manufacturing standards.
• Document inspection results, test data, nonconformances, and completed production steps accurately.
• Identify production issues and collaborate with engineering, quality, and production leadership to implement corrective actions.
• Train and mentor junior technicians on electrical assembly techniques, troubleshooting, quality expectations, and safe work practices.
• Assist in developing and improving work instructions, standard operating procedures (SOPs), and assembly processes.
• Support lean manufacturing and continuous improvement initiatives, including 5S workplace organization.
• Maintain a clean, organized, and safe work environment while meeting production schedules and quality goals.

Qualifications

Required:

• High school diploma or GED.
• At least 3 years of hands-on electrical assembly, control panel wiring, switchgear manufacturing, or related industrial electrical experience.
• Ability to independently read and interpret electrical schematics, wiring diagrams, and engineering drawings.
• Advanced knowledge of electrical wiring, component installation, assembly methods, and troubleshooting.
• Experience using hand tools, power tools, and electrical testing equipment.
• Strong understanding of quality control, inspection procedures, and electrical safety practices.
• Ability to document work accurately and follow detailed technical instructions.
• Strong problem-solving, communication, and organizational skills.
• Ability to work independently while collaborating with production, engineering, and quality teams.
• Valid driver's license and ability to meet applicable background requirements.
• Ability to regularly lift 30–50 lbs. and stand, bend, crouch, and work on the production floor for extended periods.
• Ability to work in a manufacturing environment with moderate noise and varying temperatures.

Preferred:

• Experience with UL-certified electrical assemblies and standards such as UL 508A, UL 891, UL 1558, UL 67, or UL 1008.
• Experience building industrial control panels, low- or medium-voltage switchgear, switchboards, or power distribution equipment.
• Familiarity with electrical testing, quality assurance, and quality documentation.
• Experience mentoring technicians or serving as a technical lead.
• Knowledge of lean manufacturing, 5S, and continuous improvement methods.
• Experience using ERP systems such as JobBOSS and basic computer applications.

Why Apply?

• Competitive pay of $28–$34 per hour, based on experience.
• Consistent Monday–Friday schedules.
• Additional $1.00/hour for second shift.
• Opportunities to develop technical leadership skills.
• Work on complex electrical systems supporting critical power and infrastructure applications.
