Industrial Electrician
About The Position
This role is for a Level 3 apprentice with 6,000 hours who has substantial industrial electrical experience and is ready to take on more responsibility while progressing toward journeyman status. Industrial experience is strongly preferred; residential and commercial experience alone may not fully prepare candidates for the role’s demands. Candidates should have hands-on experience with troubleshooting, large conduit and wire pulls, motor controls, 480V systems, transformers, and industrial environments, and must be willing to travel. The role involves directing and managing electrical work on industrial job sites, troubleshooting systems, completing and inspecting installations, and coordinating with customers, managers, and team members. The apprentice will also train newer team members, uphold safety and code standards, interpret plans and specifications, and work with electrical systems and equipment including lighting, transformers, motor controls, switchboards, feeders, and conduit. The employer offers competitive pay based on experience and level, a full benefits package, paid time off, a 401(k) with matching, provided safety equipment and uniforms, growth opportunities, and an in-house apprenticeship program supporting development and licensure.
