Build power that lasts—on projects that matter
OpSource is teaming up with an established industrial construction contractor headquartered in Kingsport, TN to staff a high-impact project in Bristol, TN. We’re hiring an Industrial Electrical Systems Technician who can move confidently from blueprint to build, and from test to troubleshoot—all while keeping the crew safe and the site organized.
A day in the life
It’s Monday morning on a Bristol job site. You walk the area, review schematics, and map out your conduit runs. By mid-morning you’ve installed and terminated feeders, verified switchgear connections, and logged voltage and resistance readings. After lunch, you diagnose a control-system fault, update a material list, and coordinate with building principals and supervisors to sequence the next phase. Before you leave, you tidy the work area and stow your tools—ready for tomorrow.
