About The Position

Imagine Solving This A packaging line throws an HMI alarm. You trace a signal path from a temperature control loop through a PLC input, verify a 4–20 mA transmitter, tweak a VFD parameter, and bring the line back up—all while logging work and parts in CMMS. If this sounds like your kind of challenge, read on. About Novolex® We’re a leader in packaging innovation for food, retail, health, and industrial markets. Our approach to sustainability is built on three pillars—products, operations, and people—driving enterprise-wide initiatives and measurable progress. What You’ll Tackle Troubleshoot, maintain, and repair industrial electrical/electronic control systems in a fast-paced manufacturing environment. Execute repairs, preventative maintenance, installations, upgrades, and changes to production equipment and facility systems. Document detailed maintenance activities and parts usage in CMMS or written logs. Diagnose hardware/software issues across PLCs, HMIs, VFDs, AC/DC drives, computer-based systems, and temperature controls. Program and set up machines so products meet specification; perform PLC, HMI, and VFD edits, transfers, and troubleshooting. Help create, modify, and revise manufacturing work instructions and process flow documentation. Assemble/disassemble and maintain electro-mechanical systems—manual and automated—using schematics, engineering drawings, and written or verbal instructions. Run/bend conduit, mount boxes, pull feeders, and perform terminations. Conduct bench diagnostics and rebuilds on offline parts and machines; test and restock or red tag and escalate to the lead/supervisor for replacement/repair. Work safely, accurately, quickly, and independently; stay calm and effective under pressure. Do You Bring These? Associate degree in electrical engineering, Industrial Maintenance Certification, or 3+ years as an industrial electrician with mechanical experience (industrial manufacturing is a plus). Strong knowledge of 120/277/480 V systems and three-phase power. PLC experience; familiarity with Allen-Bradley and AB RSLogix is a plus. Hands-on with VFDs, DC and servo drives, plus AC/DC drive systems. Process control skills: 4–20 mA loops, positioning feedback, and analog controls. Background in temperature control systems. Deep knowledge of industrial electrical systems maintenance. Experience with hydraulics and pneumatics. How You’ll Work Side-by-side with engineering, machine operators, and other maintenance pros, you’ll keep our equipment running and our products within spec—contributing to Novolex’s sustainability journey and operational excellence.
