The Electrical Technician plays a key role in our shop at Burke Truck & Equipment. This position is responsible for wiring, installing, and troubleshooting electrical systems on trucks and equipment to make sure everything works the way it should before it leaves our shop.

This job is important because electrical work is a big part of what we build. If it’s not done right, equipment doesn’t run properly, jobs get delayed, and customers aren’t happy. A solid technician helps keep work moving, catches problems early, and makes sure we’re putting out reliable, quality builds every time.

This role is a great fit for someone who likes working with their hands, figuring things out, and seeing a job through from start to finish. If you take pride in doing clean, accurate work and want to be part of a team that builds real, working equipment—not just sitting behind a desk—this is a strong opportunity. Every day is a little different, and your work actually matters.
