Basic to intermediate electrical knowledge, including work with 3-phase, 480V motors.
Comfortable working in a non-climate-controlled, true industrial environment with older equipment.
Open to an on-call rotation schedule shared with other technicians.

About the Team & Culture:
This facility operates with a strong blue-collar, team-focused culture where everyone takes ownership of their work.

The setting is industrial and fast-paced, with older, high-powered equipment that demands real hands-on skill and initiative.
