9d•Onsite

About The Position

The E & I Technician will install, maintain, and repair industrial electrical systems (24V–480V, 3-phase), including electrical, pneumatic, hydraulic, and burner systems. This role involves troubleshooting and repairing electrical failures using various diagnostic tools, interpreting electrical schematics and diagrams, and providing technical support. The technician will also install, program, calibrate, and maintain instrumentation such as pressure, flow, temperature, level, and gas detectors. Responsibilities include gathering and analyzing technical data, maintaining grounding systems, lighting, and control wiring, installing and programming VFD’s and control valves, and assisting automation engineers with PLC and HMI troubleshooting. The position also involves participating in reliability improvement projects, repairing issues within MCC buckets and breaker panels, establishing or modifying work procedures, and making recommendations to improve operations. The role requires self-direction with minimal supervision, operation and maintenance of complex equipment, adherence to electrical safety protocols (LOTO, arc flash), performing loop checks, signal verification, and accuracy testing, handling multiple tasks simultaneously, and working a flexible schedule including call-ins and overtime. Utilizing BOMs to find repair materials is also a key function.
