Sr. Maintenance Technician

An established heavy-manufacturing plant is adding a senior electrical maintenance technician to its day-shift team. This is the person who keeps heavy production equipment running – diagnosing and repairing faults on motors, drives, and control systems before they cost the plant downtime. The work is hands-on and varied: troubleshooting with a meter one hour, pulling and landing conduit for a new machine the next, and running preventive checks across the plant’s electrical assets. For a seasoned industrial electrician, this offers top-of-market hourly pay, a straight day schedule, and a stable, long-established manufacturer to build a career with.
