This role is responsible for installing, troubleshooting, and repairing electrical and instrumentation systems in an industrial setting. The position requires expertise in conduit installation, wiring, and mechanical assembly, with a strong emphasis on safety, precision, and teamwork.

Primary Responsibilities

Conduit & Wiring Installation:

• Install conduit of various sizes for electrical and instrumentation wiring—measuring, cutting, bending, threading, and securing it in place.

• Pull and install wiring, ensuring the correct size and conductor count, along with proper cutting, carrying, and lubrication.
Tool Usage & Equipment Installation:

• Utilize hand tools (e.g., screwdrivers, wrenches, socket sets, pipe wrenches, hammers, taps) and specialized gauges to install electrical and instrumentation devices with proper torque.

• Install, replace, or repair electric motors ranging from fractional to multiple hundred horsepower, sometimes requiring lifting, pushing, or prying to position and align them.
Troubleshooting & Maintenance:

• Diagnose and resolve electrical circuit issues to minimize equipment downtime.

• Operate a variety of tools—including electric drills, surface grinders, hammer drills, conduit benders, and wire pullers—to complete maintenance tasks.

• Use computer-based troubleshooting tools and logic to assist with problem resolution.

• Adhere to strict safety practices, including lockout/tagout procedures and the proper use of personal protective equipment (PPE).
Additional Duties:

• Collaborate with mechanical crews as needed and maintain excellent housekeeping practices.

• Perform other related tasks as assigned by management.

• Safely manage repetitive lifting (up to 40–50 lbs independently; above 50 lbs with assistance or mechanical aid).

Position Qualifications

Licenses & Certifications:

• Must hold a valid State of Michigan Journeyman or Master’s License.

• Possess a High School Diploma or GED and a valid Michigan Driver’s License.

• Maintain required certifications through ongoing education.
Technical & Mechanical Expertise:

• Industrial, mechanical, or maintenance experience (electrical, machining, or welding preferred).

• Successful completion of an Electrical/Instrumentation Apprenticeship program (or equivalent certification) is required. • Ability to program PLCs and VFDs and read electrical/instrumentation prints, including ladder logic. • Familiarity with networking, system boot-up procedures, power grids, and the use of power transformers. • Understand preventative maintenance procedures.
Safety & Physical Requirements:

• Demonstrated knowledge of safe work practices, including effective use of tools and working in hazardous areas (such as explosive dust environments while equipment is in operation).

• Ability to climb ladders, work at heights, and perform tasks that require heavy lifting, pulling, pushing, reaching, and bending.

Key Competencies

Technical Proficiency:

• Capable of handling multiple pieces of technical equipment simultaneously while troubleshooting and resolving issues efficiently.
Communication & Problem-Solving:

• Excellent attention to detail with strong verbal and written communication skills.

• Ability to understand and follow both verbal and written instructions.
Independence & Initiative:

• Self-starter with the ability to work independently as well as in a team environment.

• Willingness to attend training sessions to enhance proficiency in controls and instrumentation.
