Industrial Control Panel Wiring Technician
Picture your day starting at 7:00 AM with a fresh set of electrical schematics. You lay out components inside an enclosure, route clean wire paths, and methodically perform point-to-point, I/O, and power wiring. By mid-morning, you’re crimping, terminating, and labeling with precision—selecting the right cables, connectors, and terminations to match the drawings. After lunch, you verify continuity, double-check the craftsmanship of your panel, and document quality checks. If needed, you lend a hand troubleshooting an existing panel, then wrap up by restoring your bench to a clean, organized, and safe condition.
IMPORTANT: All applicants will be required to complete a hands-on wiring exam during the interview process.
