Electrical Maintenance Technician

The Electrical Maintenance Technician keeps production equipment, machine controls, and facility systems running safely and reliably. This role combines a strong electrical and controls background with a mechanically focused, hands-on approach — troubleshooting and repairing PLCs, motor controls, and automated equipment, while also maintaining the mechanical systems that keep the plant running. The Electrical Maintenance Technician works closely with production, engineering, and outside contractors to minimize downtime and keep equipment performing to specification.
