Industrial Electrician – Low/Medium Voltage & PLC | $30–$34/hr

PVS Metals (Owen Industries) – Carter Lake, IA (Near Downtown Omaha) | Full-Time | Mon–Fri, Standard Business Hours

Wire It. Program It. Own It.

PVS Metals is looking for a skilled Industrial Electrician with low-voltage expertise, medium-voltage experience, and hands‑on PLC knowledge to keep our electrical systems and automated production equipment running safely and at peak performance. This is a technically demanding role for an electrician who is equally comfortable diagnosing a complex automation fault as they are maintaining a medium-voltage distribution system.

If you have 5+ years of industrial electrical experience, can read and navigate PLC ladder logic, and take pride in doing the work right the first time — we want to hear from you.

• Schedule: Monday–Friday, standard business hours
• Location: Carter Lake, IA — near downtown Omaha
• Reports to: Maintn

• Install, maintain, troubleshoot, and repair low-voltage (under 600V) electrical systems including motor controls, MCCs, VFDs, control panels, and distribution equipment
• Perform PM and inspection of medium-voltage (601V–15kV) systems including switch gear, transformers, and distribution panels
• Diagnose and repair electrical faults on production machinery, conveyors, cranes, hydraulic power units
  , and other plant equipment
• Install and route conduit, cable tray, wire, and electrical components per NEC code and company standards
• Test electrical systems using multimeters, megohmmeters, power quality analyzers, and oscilloscopes
• Respond promptly to electrical emergencies and equipment breakdowns
  , prioritizing by production impact and safety risk

• Read, interpret, and navigate PLC ladder logic (Allen-Bradley, Siemens, or equivalent) to diagnose automation faults
• Make approved PLC program modifications under engineering or management direction; document all changes
• Troubleshoot and maintain HMI systems, sensors, encoders, servo drives
  , and other automation components
• Support programming and commissioning of new automated equipment in coordination with OEM technicians and engineering staff

• Perform all electrical work in strict compliance with OSHA, NFPA 70 (NEC), and NFPA 70E (arc flash safety)
• Follow all lockout/tagout (LOTO) procedures without exception
• Coordinate planned medium-voltage outages with the Plant Manager to minimize production disruption
• Participate in arc flash hazard analysis updates and facility-wide safety programs
• Proactively identify and report electrical hazards, aging infrastructure, or code compliance concerns

• Complete work orders, PM checklists, electrical inspection records, and maintenance logs accurately
• Assist in maintaining one-line diagrams, panel schedules, and electrical drawings in current condition
• Support facility electrical inspections and audits

• 5+ years of industrial electrical experience in manufacturing, metals processing, or heavy industrial environments — steel fabrication experience is a strong plus
• Comprehensive knowledge of low-voltage electrical systems including motor controls, MCCs, VFDs, and distribution equipment
• Hands‑on ability to read and interpret PLC ladder logic for troubleshooting — Allen-Bradley (Studio 5000/RSLogix) or Siemens TIA Portal experience preferred
• Working knowledge of medium-voltage systems and the ability to work on them safely with appropriate PPE
• Proficiency reading electrical schematics, one-line diagrams, and equipment wiring diagrams
• Strong troubleshooting skills — able to systematically isolate complex electrical and electromechanical faults under time pressure
• Solid knowledge of NEC, NFPA 70E, OSHA electrical regulations, and LOTO requirements
• Experience…
