Industrial Power Systems Journeyman Electrician

Step Into the Heart of Heavy Power

Each shift, you’ll keep a high-demand industrial facility energized and safe. You’ll open the day reviewing logs, checking PDUs and switchgear status, and prioritizing preventive maintenance. When a PLC throws a fault, you trace I/O, scan ladder logic, and bring automated equipment back online. If a generator test is scheduled, you verify transfer switch operation and confirm load balance against updated panel schedules. Throughout, you follow LOTO, arc flash, and OSHA procedures to protect yourself and your team.

• Maintain and troubleshoot industrial electrical systems to maximize uptime
• Operate and service switchgear, panels, and facility power distribution equipment
• Work confidently on high-voltage systems (208V, 480V, and above)
• Diagnose and repair PLC-controlled equipment (I/O, sensors, fault codes)
• Maintain generators and test/repair transfer switches
• Read and interpret blueprints, schematics, and single-line diagrams
• Update panel schedules and execute load balancing
• Install and maintain conduit, cable tray, and wiring systems
• Apply LOTO, arc flash, and OSHA safety practices on every task
• Document work orders, logs, and maintenance records with accuracy
