Electronic Technician

MS Companies is recruiting on behalf of a confidential, well-established manufacturing organization in Pleasant Prairie, WI for multiple Electronic Technician openings.

These are full-time, direct-hire positions supporting advanced manufacturing equipment in a clean, modern production environment.

This is not a facilities or warehouse-maintenance position. We are specifically seeking technicians who have worked directly with manufacturing/production equipment and are comfortable troubleshooting electrical, mechanical, electronic, PLC, and controls-related issues.

Shift: 3rd Shift 11:00 PM–7:00 AM

What You’ll Be Doing

This is a hands-on troubleshooting and equipment-reliability role supporting industrial production machinery.

Responsibilities include:

• Troubleshooting electrical, electronic, mechanical, and controls-related equipment failures
• Reading and troubleshooting PLC logic
• Diagnosing AC/DC motors, VFDs, motor-control circuits, and hardwired relay logic
• Troubleshooting single-phase and three-phase electrical systems
• Reading electrical schematics, wiring diagrams, OEM manuals, and technical drawings
• Performing preventive and predictive maintenance
• Using multimeters, voltmeters, ohmmeters, oscilloscopes, and other electrical test equipment
• Performing instrumentation calibration, equipment alignment, and component replacement
• Troubleshooting and repairing production/manufacturing equipment
• Supporting electrical wiring, conduit, receptacle, and component repairs
• Maintaining accurate maintenance and equipment records
• Identifying opportunities to improve equipment reliability and reduce downtime

These responsibilities directly reflect the hiring team’s emphasis on PLC troubleshooting, motor and relay controls, schematics, electrical test equipment, and hands-on production-equipment troubleshooting.

What We’re Looking For

Strong candidates will bring:

• Meaningful hands-on experience in a manufacturing or production environment
• Strong electrical and mechanical troubleshooting skills
• PLC troubleshooting experience
• Experience with industrial controls and electrical control circuits
• Motor-control and hardwired relay-logic experience
• Ability to read electrical schematics and wiring diagrams
• Experience using electrical testing equipment
• Experience troubleshooting industrial production machinery
• High school diploma or equivalent
• Ability to work onsite in Pleasant Prairie, WI
• Ability to successfully complete required pre-employment screening

Approximately 5+ years of industrial manufacturing maintenance, electronics, controls, or related technical experience is highly preferred.

Candidates whose experience is exclusively in facilities, warehousing, or distribution without meaningful manufacturing-equipment experience are unlikely to align with this position.

Preferred Experience

Additional value includes experience with:

• PLC programming or advanced PLC diagnostics
• Preventive and predictive maintenance
• Instrumentation and calibration
• CMMS systems
• VFDs and motor controls
• Industrial electrical systems
• High-speed or heavy manufacturing environments
• Technical education in electronics, industrial maintenance, automation, or a related field
