Industrial Controls Electrician

A day in the life — Bessemer, MI

You arrive on site and review overnight logs: one production line flagged a VFD fault, another needs a scheduled PM. You pull the schematics, trace the circuit, and restore the drive. After a quick huddle with operations, you move on to inspections—tightening connections, verifying sensors, and documenting each finding. An urgent call comes in: a servo axis isn’t homing. You diagnose with the Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) (Allen Bradley), confirm wiring integrity, and bring the line back to full speed. Before shift-end, you capture all maintenance notes, update the CMMS, and propose a small controls improvement that boosts reliability and safety.

What you’ll do

• Install, maintain, and repair electrical infrastructure and equipment across the facility.
• Perform routine inspections and preventive maintenance to maximize uptime.
• Troubleshoot faults quickly and implement durable fixes.
• Read and apply blueprints, schematics, and technical manuals to your work.
• Partner closely with production, maintenance, and safety to keep operations compliant and efficient.
• Accurately document all service, repairs, and preventative tasks.
• Stay current with industry practices, codes, and safety regulations.

What you bring

• High school diploma or equivalent; a technical degree/certification in electrical technology is preferred.
• Hands-on experience as an industrial electrician or in a comparable role.
• Deep knowledge of electrical systems, wiring methods, and safety protocols.
