Nippon Dynawave Packaging Company has an immediate opening for an Industrial Electrical & Instrumentation Maintenance Technician within our multi-craft maintenance organization.

This is a highly skilled industrial maintenance position responsible for troubleshooting, repairing, calibrating, and maintaining electrical, instrumentation, automation, and process control systems in a continuous-process manufacturing environment. Successful candidates will be experienced problem-solvers who can diagnose complex equipment failures, work safely around industrial systems, and contribute as part of a self-directed maintenance team.

Important: This is not primarily a construction or commercial electrical position. The role focuses on industrial maintenance, troubleshooting, instrumentation, process controls, automation systems, and manufacturing equipment reliability.

• Troubleshoot, repair, install, and maintain industrial electrical and instrumentation systems.
• Diagnose problems with motors, motor control circuits, variable frequency drives (VFDs), PLCs, DCS systems, and process control equipment.
• Calibrate and maintain electronic, pneumatic, and analytical instrumentation.
• Troubleshoot and maintain control valves, transmitters, analyzers, and associated field devices.
• Read and interpret electrical schematics, P&IDs, loop drawings, and technical documentation.
• Perform preventive and predictive maintenance activities.
• Work closely with operations and maintenance personnel to safely resolve equipment issues and improve reliability.
• Follow all Lockout/Tagout (LOTO), electrical safety, and safe work practices.
• Participate as an active member of a self-directed maintenance team.

• Wear required personal protective equipment (PPE).
• Work shifts, overtime, weekends, and emergency call-ins as business needs require.

• Any combination of a journey-level electrical/instrumentation credential, industrial electrician qualification, equivalent apprenticeship completion, comparable industrial maintenance experience, and hands-on experience maintaining and troubleshooting industrial electrical and instrumentation systems in a manufacturing or continuous-process environment. The combination must demonstrate journey-level competency and include at least three years of relevant hands-on experience.
• Demonstrated commitment to safety and safe work practices.
• Strong troubleshooting and problem-solving skills, including a methodical approach to identifying root causes.
• Ability to communicate effectively and work collaboratively with operations and maintenance teams.
• Demonstrated competency using MS Office applications; maintenance related software.

Candidates should have direct experience in several of the following areas:

• AC and DC motors and motor controls.
• Variable frequency drives (VFDs) and drive troubleshooting.
• PLC-based control systems and Distributed Control Systems (DCS).
• Low- and medium-voltage switch gear and motor control centers (MCCs).
• Electronic and pneumatic instrumentation.
• Control valves and associated field equipment.
• Industrial process control systems and electrical testing equipment.
• Reading electrical drawings, P&IDs, loop sheets, and technical documentation.

Experience in pulp and paper, chemical processing, refining or petrochemical operations, power generation, wood products manufacturing, or another continuous-process industrial facility is preferred. Additional beneficial experience includes:

• Analytical instrumentation, including pH analyzers and similar process analyzers.
• Predictive and preventive maintenance programs.
• Multi-craft maintenance environments.
• Mechanical maintenance skills.

• Safely perform electrical troubleshooting using established LOTO procedures.
• Diagnose and repair three-phase motors and motor control systems.
