A Fortune 100 industrial manufacturer is seeking experienced Industrial Electrical Technicians for its Lexington, NC operation. This is a hands-on troubleshooting role for technicians who can diagnose complex electrical and automated equipment issues—not simply install wiring or replace components.
What You’ll Do:
• Troubleshoot industrial electrical and automated production equipment
• Diagnose PLC logic, inputs, outputs, and control-system faults
• Troubleshoot VFDs, motors, motor controls, and industrial power systems
• Read electrical prints, schematics, and PLC logic
• Identify root causes and complete effective equipment repairs
• Support equipment reliability and production uptime
• Work safely in a highly automated industrial environment
What We’re Looking For*:
• Strong foundation in electrical theory, motor theory, and industrial power
• Industrial PLC and VFD troubleshooting experience
• Ability to read and troubleshoot PLC logic
• Experience diagnosing equipment problems in the field
• Background in steel, paper, chemical, automotive, heavy manufacturing, or another automated industrial environment
• Stable employment history
• Associate degree in Electrical Engineering Technology, Mechatronics, Electrical Engineering, or a related discipline is highly preferred
• Navy Nuclear Technician experience is highly valued
*Candidates whose experience is primarily residential or commercial wiring, conduit installation, or wire pulling without industrial troubleshooting exposure are unlikely to be a match.
Compensation & Schedule:
• Approximately $45-50/hr & $100K–$130K in expected annual earnings
• Overtime, production-based bonus opportunities, & annual profit-sharing bonus
• Rotating 4-on / 4-off schedule
• Multiple immediate openings
Interview Process:
- 30–45-minute Teams interview
