Mechanical Manufacturing Electrician

Focus:
Hands-on electrical upkeep and fault resolution for production machinery in a fast-paced industrial setting. Emphasis on ongoing system reliability rather than new installations.

• Identify, isolate, and correct electrical problems across various production assets, including automated lines, material handling systems, environmental controls, and operator interfaces.
• Troubleshoot issues involving power components, variable frequency drives, instrumentation, contractors, and programmable logic controllers (PLCs).
• Verify systems operate safely, reliably, and within required electrical specifications.

• Perform scheduled inspections and preventative maintenance to reduce unplanned downtime.
• Extend equipment lifespan through consistent servicing practices.
• Document all service activities, corrective actions, and updates in the maintenance tracking system.

• Support implementation and startup of updated electrical systems or retrofits on existing equipment.
• Collaborate with engineering and operations teams to improve controls and electrical configurations for increased efficiency.

• Perform all work in compliance with applicable electrical standards, national codes, and manufacturing best practices.
• Strictly follow lockout/tagout (energy isolation) and other safety procedures.
• Participate in ongoing safety initiatives and actively promote a safety-first culture.

• Work closely with operations and technical teams to resolve electrical issues impacting production timelines.
• Provide guidance and basic training to other technicians or production personnel as appropriate.
• Assist with mechanical or pneumatic troubleshooting when electrical systems are a contributing factor.

• Maintain accurate and detailed records of inspections, repairs, equipment specifications, and maintenance history.
• Monitor inventory levels of critical electrical components and notify leadership of replenishment needs.

• High school diploma or GED required; associate degree in electrical technology, industrial systems, or a related field strongly preferred.
• Minimum of 3 years of hands-on experience maintaining electrical systems in an industrial or production environment.
• Demonstrated ability to analyze electrical circuits, automation controls, and PLC-driven equipment.

• Strong understanding of electrical theory, industrial controls, and automated manufacturing processes.
• Hands-on experience troubleshooting and making basic modifications to PLC platforms (e.g., Siemens, Allen-Bradley, or similar).
• Ability to read and interpret electrical schematics, blueprints, and technical documentation.
• Knowledge of OSHA regulations, energy control procedures, and preventative maintenance methodologies.

• Valid state-recognized Journeyman-level electrical certification (Delaware required).
• Experience working under Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) or other regulated production standards is highly desirable.

• Successful completion of background screening and substance testing.
• Active Delaware Journeyman Electrician certification is mandatory.

• Long-term employment stability with opportunities for growth and internal advancement.
• Comprehensive benefits package including medical, dental, and vision coverage.
• Retirement plan with employer contribution.
• Short-term disability coverage and company-provided life insurance.

This role is ideal for a proactive, detail-oriented professional who excels at maintaining and troubleshooting complex production electrical systems in a high-performance manufacturing environment.
