Industrial Maintenance Electrician — Automation & Systems

Role Snapshot Join our team as the go-to expert who keeps production running smoothly overnight. This is a night-shift position with flexibility on start and end times.

A Night in the Life You start by walking the floor, comparing what you see against schematics and manuals. You listen for the faint change in a motor’s hum, check readings with electrical and electronic test instruments, and confer with managers about any operational quirks that could point to a root cause.

When issues surface, you tear down defective equipment with precision measuring instruments and hand/power tools, replace or install parts to blueprint specifications, then bring systems back online. Between calls, you clean and lubricate shafts, bearings, gears, and other moving components to keep everything in peak condition.

Visually inspect and test equipment using electrical/electronic test gear; detect malfunctions by listening for unusual sounds and collaborating with managers to diagnose issues.

Dismantle faulty machines and install new or refurbished parts using precision measuring tools and hand/power tools.
