Make an Impact in Apple Grove
Step into a key reliability role at a growing steel manufacturing plant in Apple Grove. You’ll be the go-to expert for diagnosing, repairing, and improving complex power and control systems that keep production moving.
A Day in the Life
You arrive, review overnight logs, scan PLC fault histories, and map out a plan. A line trips—within minutes you’re tracing signals, confirming I/O health, and adjusting logic on a Siemens S7 to get product flowing again. Later, you inspect a 4,160V feeder, tune a VFD, and close the loop with maintenance and engineering on a root-cause fix. Before shift’s end, you lend a hand commissioning a newly installed motor control center.
What You’ll Do
- Diagnose and repair electrical issues across heavy industrial steel processes to minimize downtime.
- Work confidently around power systems including 480V, 4,160V, 13.5kV, and higher as required.
- Troubleshoot, navigate, and modify PLC logic to restore equipment and optimize throughput.
- Support Siemens S7 and other automation platforms; resolve communication and I/O faults.
- Service VFDs, starters, contactors, relays, sensors, and control circuits.
- Resolve problems with three-phase motors, control panels, and power distribution equipment.
- Interpret electrical schematics, wiring diagrams, and technical drawings to guide repairs.
- Execute preventive maintenance and inspections to catch issues before breakdowns occur.
- Assist with installation, commissioning, and startup of new industrial machinery.
- Apply rigorous electrical safety practices (including LOTO and high-voltage procedures).
- Collaborate closely with maintenance, engineering, and operations teams to drive reliability.
What You Bring
- Hands-on industrial electrical maintenance experience in heavy manufacturing.
- Expertise with three-phase motors, industrial controls, and high-voltage equipment.
- Proficiency troubleshooting PLC systems and editing logic when needed.
- Experience with Siemens, Allen-Bradley, or comparable PLC platforms.
- Skill with VFDs, motor control circuits, sensors, and electrical distribution systems.
- Ability to read schematics and independently pinpoint electrical faults.
- Strong safety mindset: lockout/tagout and safe troubleshooting are second nature.
- Clear communicator who can work independently and within cross-functional teams.
- Willingness to work rotating 12-hour day and night shifts.
