About The Position

We are seeking an Industrial Electrician to join our team in a clean, modern, and highly automated manufacturing environment. This is a pure industrial electrical role focused entirely on the sophisticated technology that drives our facility, including state-of-the-art automation, motor controls, and robotics. Whether you have a year or two of factory experience or you are a junior candidate fresh out of trade school, this is a fantastic place to start your career, learn, and grow alongside veteran technicians. Please note that because of the highly specialized nature of our equipment, residential or commercial electrical backgrounds are not a fit for this position; you must have an industrial background or an industrial-focused technical education. Operating within our cutting-edge facility, this role offers an exceptional and highly predictable schedule: you will work just 3.5 night shifts per week, leaving you with 3.5 days to yourself to recharge or study.

Requirements

Education: High School diploma or GED/HiSET.
Industry Experience: Junior-level candidates and recent graduates are extremely welcome! Any prior working experience must be in an industrial, manufacturing, or factory setting (residential/commercial experience will not be considered).
Technical Knowledge: Strong foundational grasp of industrial electrical and electronic principles, industrial controls, and basic automation concepts.
Diagnostic Skills: Ability to safely use electrical testing equipment and a strong desire to develop complex troubleshooting skills.
Systems & Standards: Basic proficiency in reading electrical schematics and blueprints, with an introductory understanding of the National Electrical Code (NEC).

Nice To Haves

Certification from a trade school, community college (e.g., Industrial Maintenance, Mechatronics, or Electrical Technology), or a completed industrial apprenticeship.
