Job Title: Electrician III – Senior Industrial Electrician
Location: 531 Old Swede Road – Douglassville, PA 19518
Schedule: Monday–Friday | 5:00AM–1:30PM | Full-time on-site
Compensation: Competitive hourly rate up to $45/hour based on experience, skills, and market data—top-of-range compensation is reserved for candidates who demonstrate strong, job-relevant experience and independent capability

If you’re a highly skilled electrician who takes pride in complex work, owns your results, and prefers being relied on for your expertise—not managed—this role will feel like a natural fit.

At American Crane & Equipment Corporation (ACECO), we’re looking for a senior-level electrician to work on custom crane and hoist systems where precision, safety, and craftsmanship matter every day.

We build equipment where quality and reliability are non-negotiable—this is work our team takes seriously.

You won’t get lost here—your work will be seen, and it will matter.

What This Role Really Is

This is a senior-level, hands-on electrical role—you’ll spend most of your time performing complex installations, troubleshooting advanced electrical systems, and being accountable for the quality, safety, and accuracy of your work on high-consequence equipment.

Who Thrives Here (and Who Doesn’t)

You’ll do well here if you:

• Take ownership of your work and stand behind the quality of what you build
• Enjoy solving complex electrical problems in real-world applications
• Lead by example and support others without needing a formal management title

This role is likely not a fit if you:

• Prefer repetitive or low-skill electrical work
• Need constant direction before taking action
• Want to move into management instead of staying hands-on

What Success Looks Like (First 90 Days)

• Learn ACECO electrical standards, systems, and safety requirements
• Independently execute complex electrical installations and wiring tasks
• Troubleshoot issues across build, test, and production stages
• Build credibility as a technical resource within the team
• Begin supporting Electrician I & II team members through guidance and example
