Electrical Maintenance Technician

Electrical Maintenance Technician

Ensures the continuous, safe operation of heavy-duty industrial machinery, automated assembly lines, and metal fabrication equipment. They specialize in troubleshooting and repairing the high-voltage systems, PLC-driven automation, and heavy lifting infrastructure required to build massive industrial and commercial cooling units.

Core Responsibilities:

• Equipment Troubleshooting: Diagnose and repair electrical faults on heavy manufacturing machinery including CNC plasma cutters, press brakes, sheet metal benders, robotic welding cells, and industrial air compressors.
• Automation & Controls: Maintain and program Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs), Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs), and sensors that manage automated factory assembly and testing lines.
• High-Voltage Systems: Service and repair 480V 3-phase power distribution systems, motor control centers (MCCs), transformers, and heavy-duty fan/motor assembly testing stations.
• Material Handling Support: Perform electrical maintenance on critical plant infrastructure such as overhead gantry cranes, hoists, and motorized conveyors used to move heavy cooling unit components.
• Preventive Maintenance (PM): Execute scheduled electrical PMs on production machinery to minimize unplanned downtime and optimize manufacturing efficiency.
• Blueprint Reading: Interpret complex electrical schematics, wiring diagrams, and technical drawings to pinpoint faults or wire new factory installations.
• Safety & Compliance: Strictly adhere to OSHA regulations, including comprehensive Lockout/Tagout (LOTO) protocols when servicing high-power machinery.

Key Qualifications & Skills:

• Experience: 3+ years of electrical maintenance experience specifically within heavy manufacturing, industrial assembly, or metal fabrication environments.
• Technical Skills: Mastery of multimeters, circuit testers, and megohmmeters; strong capability with Allen-Bradley, Siemens, or similar industrial PLC platforms.
• Systems Knowledge: Strong working knowledge of electrical, hydraulic, and pneumatic interfaces common in heavy equipment.
• Physical Demands: Ability to lift up to 50 lbs, work on ladders or aerial lifts, and stand for extended periods on concrete factory floor.
