Description

Seeking a Industrial Electrician to perform electrical preventative maintenance, troubleshooting, and repair within the Cold Mill Rolling operation.
This position is designed to develop into a Shift Electrician role. The ideal candidate is a strong troubleshooter who can work effectively with Operations and Mechanical teams to diagnose problems and minimize downtime.


This is an excellent opportunity for a technically trained military veteran looking to build a long-term career in industrial maintenance.


What You'll Be Doing

  • Troubleshoot and repair industrial electrical equipment
  • Perform preventative and corrective maintenance
  • Diagnose electrical and control-system issues using meters and diagnostic tools
  • Work with PLCs, VFDs, motors, and electrical controls
  • Troubleshoot hydraulic and pneumatic control systems
  • Partner with Operations and Mechanical teams to resolve equipment issues
  • Support equipment reliability and continuous improvement
  • Follow all safety procedures and maintain a strong safety record


What We're Looking For

(Must-Have Skills, Experience, and Education):

  • 4+ years of electrical/technical maintenance experience or equivalent military technical experience
  • Strong electrical troubleshooting and problem-solving skills
  • Experience with PLCs and VFDs
  • Knowledge of electrical principles, electronics, motors, and controls
  • Comfortable using electrical meters and hand/power tools
  • Strong mechanical aptitude
  • Good communication and teamwork skills


Military Veterans Encouraged to Apply

Strong backgrounds may include:
  • Navy Nuclear Electricians (EM/EMN)
  • Navy Electronics Technicians (ET/ETN)
  • Other military electricians, electronics technicians, or power-generation backgrounds
  • Military personnel with experience troubleshooting complex electrical/mechanical systems
The key is hands-on troubleshooting experience — not simply installation.


Interview Focus

Be prepared to discuss:
  • A difficult electrical problem you've diagnosed and repaired
  • How you troubleshoot when you don't immediately know the answer
  • PLC/VFD experience
  • Use of electrical meters and diagnostic equipment
  • Working safely around industrial electrical equipment
  • How you've worked with other teams to solve problems


Why Consider this oppurtunity?

  • $110K+ calculated first-year compensation
  • $120K–$130K+ potential on rotating shift
  • $5,000 relocation reimbursement
  • Strong overtime earning potential
  • Excellent opportunity for military veterans transitioning into industrial maintenance
  • Long-term career growth and advancement
  • Non-union, pay-for-performance environment
  • Profit sharing and stock opportunities
