Technician - Elect and Contr

Electrical and Controls Technician – A critical role responsible for the maintenance and optimization of production equipment throughout the manufacturing facility. The technician provides technical support for controls (PLCs, HMI/SCADA), electrical and mechanical projects, and repairs, ensuring equipment operates safely, efficiently, and within cGMP requirements.

• Provide troubleshooting, repair, modification, and preventive maintenance for PLC‑based control systems, loop controllers, VFDs, HMIs, chart recorders, and associated instrumentation across manufacturing and utility systems.
• Execute work in accordance with cGMP requirements, maintaining documentation such as work orders, change control, SOPs, calibration/PM records, and validation deliverables.
• Support process and facility equipment including sterilizers, lyophilizers, filling lines, cappers, HVAC systems, chillers, and related utilities.
• Maintain and troubleshoot legacy PLC and control systems, including obsolescence management, spare strategy, and backups; support system upgrades, migrations, and standardization efforts.
• Lead electrical troubleshooting and repair activities for low‑ and high‑voltage systems (up to 480 VAC); execute work safely per NFPA 70E and site procedures while supporting installations, capital projects, and facility modifications.
• Read, interpret, and modify control logic; document and communicate programming changes and system behavior to support investigations, deviations, and root‑cause analysis.
• Read and interpret electrical schematics, loop diagrams, P&IDs, panel layouts, and mechanical drawings, including pneumatic, gas, vacuum, and high‑pressure systems.
