• Experience with three-phase power systems, preferably including 208V, 230V, 460V, and 575V applications.
• Ability to read, create, and troubleshoot electrical schematics and ladder diagrams.
• Familiarity with AutoCAD Electrical, or comparable design software.
• Knowledge of industrial control panels, electrical component selection, and panel fabrication practices.
• Familiarity with PLCs, radio controls, safety circuits, and encoder feedback is beneficial.
• Understanding of applicable NEC, NFPA 70E, UL 508A, and industrial electrical safety practices is preferred.
• Strong organizational, communication, and problem‑solving skills.
