Industrial Automation Control Panel Builder
Overview
Immediate opening for a skilled Industrial Automation Control Panel Builder to join a growing, project-driven engineering and fabrication team in Marietta, GA. This is a hands-on role where craftsmanship, precision, and technical expertise come together to build high-quality industrial control panels used across a variety of industries.

You will play a key role on the shop floor, fabricating and wiring panels from detailed electrical drawings while ensuring compliance with UL and NEC standards. This position is ideal for someone who takes pride in their work, thrives in a fast-paced environment, and enjoys seeing complex systems come to life from the ground up.

Location: Marietta, GA (30066)
Pay Rate: $27 – $30/hour (potential flexibility for top candidates)
Schedule: Monday – Thursday, 6:00 AM – 4:30 PM (4x10s)
Key Responsibilities
  • Fabricate, assemble, wire, and test industrial automation control panels from start to finish
  • Interpret and work from electrical schematics, wiring diagrams, and layout drawings (CAD-based)
  • Perform point-to-point wiring and follow elementary diagrams with precision
  • Execute mechanical panel builds including backplate layout, drilling, tapping, and component mounting
  • Conduct quality control inspections, testing, and documentation to meet UL508A and NEC standards
  • Track and manage incoming materials and project components
  • Collaborate with supervisors, engineers, project managers, and customers to resolve technical issues
  • Maintain shop organization, supplies, and project inventory
  • Ensure all work meets internal standards, client specifications, and safety requirements
  • Troubleshoot and resolve wiring or component issues during panel build and testing
Required Skills and Qualifications
  • 5–10 years of experience building and wiring industrial automation control panels
  • Ability to read and interpret electrical drawings, schematics, and CAD layouts (design not required)
  • Hands-on experience with:
    • PLC panels and industrial I/O systems
    • Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs)
    • Motor controls and automation components
  • Strong knowledge of electrical components including breakers, disconnects, relays, timers, contactors, and overloads
  • Thorough understanding of UL508A and NEC standards
  • Proficiency using hand tools and power tools for panel fabrication
  • Strong understanding of industrial circuits and automation electronics
  • Knowledge of OSHA safety standards and safe work practices
  • High attention to detail with strong troubleshooting and problem-solving skills
  • Ability to work independently and manage tasks efficiently
Preferred Skills
  • Experience with UL panel certification processes and inspections
  • Background working in a project-based or custom panel shop environment
  • Strong communication skills for cross-functional collaboration
  • Experience supporting multiple projects simultaneously in a fast-paced setting
Why This Opportunity Stands Out
  • 4-day workweek with consistent full-time hours
  • Opportunity to work on diverse, custom industrial automation projects
  • Stable, growing workload with immediate hiring need
  • Hands-on role with visible impact from build to final product
  • Competitive benefits including medical, dental, vision, 401(k) with match, and potential stock participation
