About the role — a day in the life

Step onto the plant floor where your expertise keeps production humming. You’ll move from diagnosing an unexpected motor fault to tuning a VFD, from interpreting a control schematic to tracking down a ground fault. You’ll balance electrical troubleshooting with hands-on mechanical work, ensuring equipment is cleaned, lubricated, adjusted, and back online fast.

Core responsibilities

• Execute and assist with major/minor electrical repairs: service and install 480V three-phase motors; troubleshoot/repair motor starter circuits; work with VFD drives, photoelectric sensing devices, proximity switches, E‑Stop circuitry, and ground-fault detection.
• Use precision tools and test gear for electrical systems, including amp meter, ohm meter, test lamp, and megger.
• Read and interpret electrical schematics and symbols; apply electrical theory, including Ohm’s Law.
• Diagnose complex issues across the plant with emphasis on AC/DC drives, PLCs (programmable logic controllers), and motor control circuits.
• Apply foundational mechanical skills with pneumatics and hydraulic systems.
• Perform preventive care: clean, lubricate, and adjust equipment to sustain reliability.
• Troubleshoot mechanical equipment; identify faults and root causes.
• Disassemble, repair/replace, and maintain machinery such as motors, conveyors, pumps, belts, and chains.
• Leverage mechanical prints and technical data during equipment installs and repairs.
• Read and interpret PI&D (P&ID) drawings.
