Job Description & How to Apply Below
Your shift kicks off with a handoff from the previous crew. Within minutes, you’re tracing a drive fault through a PLC trend screen, popping open a cabinet to scope a noisy signal, and coordinating with operators to bring a line back to full speed. By midday, you’ve tuned a PID loop to stabilize temperature control, swapped in a compatible sensor when the OEM part isn’t in stock, and documented a corrective action to prevent a repeat failure.
Before the day wraps, you verify Ethernet device health, update controlled edits in the program, and walk the floor to spot issues before they become downtime.
About Prysmian Prysmian is the world’s leading wire and cable manufacturer. Our North American presence expanded in 2024 with the acquisition of McKinney, Texas-based Encore Wire. With nearly 9,000 team members in North America and 33,000 worldwide, we produce underground and submarine power cables, medium- and low-voltage products for construction and infrastructure, and a full portfolio of optical fiber, copper, and connectivity solutions for telecom voice, video, and data.
Wherever you contribute, you’ll help deliver excellence that powers and connects communities.
