Posted 18 days ago


Job description

Description:

Shift: Wednesday - Friday, 4am - 4:30pm, plus an 8-hour shift every other Saturday

Wage Range: $32/hr - $44/hr DOE


At Sweet Candy Company, our mission is to Make Life Sweet. In Maintenance, that means keeping our manufacturing operation safe, reliable, and running at its best. As a Journeyman Industrial Electrician, you will play a key role in maintaining and improving the electrical systems that power our production lines, helping us deliver quality candy products every day.


Sweet Candy Company is one of the oldest family-owned candy companies in the United States, with a long history of making taffy, chocolate sticks, cinnamon bears, and other confectionery favorites. We continue to invest in automation, reliability, and strong maintenance practices to support the future of our operation.


If you are an experienced industrial electrician—or a strong manufacturing maintenance professional with electrical aptitude ready to grow into the role—we want to hear from you.


What You’ll Do
  • Troubleshoot, repair, install, and maintain industrial electrical systems and production equipment
  • Support safe, reliable operation of manufacturing lines through fast, effective electrical troubleshooting
  • Perform preventive maintenance on electrical and automated systems
  • Read and interpret electrical schematics, wiring diagrams, and one-line drawings
  • Diagnose issues with motors, conveyors, pumps, controls, and automated equipment
  • Work with PLCs, HMIs, VFDs, motor controls, sensors, relays, contactors, and safety circuits
  • Partner closely with production, maintenance, quality, sanitation, and leadership to minimize downtime and improve performance
  • Follow all safety, GMP, food safety, and sanitation requirements


Why This Role Stands Out

This is more than a maintenance role. It is an opportunity to make a visible impact on equipment reliability, production performance, and continuous improvement in a growing manufacturing environment. If you want to apply your skills in a place where your work matters every day, Sweet Candy could be a great fit.

Requirements:What We’re Looking For
Required Qualifications
  • Journeyman Electrician license, or the ability and commitment to obtain and maintain licensure
  • MANDATORY 2+ years of troubleshooting, repair, and preventive maintenance experience in an industrial manufacturing environment
  • Strong knowledge of industrial electrical systems, power distribution, controls, and factory automation
  • Ability to troubleshoot PLC and I/O systems
  • Ability to read and interpret electrical schematics, wiring diagrams, and one-lines
  • Strong commitment to safety and compliance
  • Ability to work effectively in a team-oriented, multicultural environment
  • Clear communication skills and a continuous improvement mindset
  • Basic computer skills, including Microsoft Office


Preferred Qualifications
  • Experience in food manufacturing or other regulated production environments
  • Familiarity with Allen-Bradley or Siemens PLC platforms
  • Experience with preventive or predictive electrical maintenance programs
  • Arc-flash, LOTO, or other electrical safety training
Why Join Sweet Candy

Sweet Candy offers a competitive total rewards package, including:

  • Health insurance starting the 1st of the month after hire
  • Domestic partner health coverage
  • Paid vacation
  • Up to 40 hours per year of paid Life Happens Time
  • 10 paid holidays
  • Bonus program
  • 401(k) with 3% company contribution plus up to an additional 3% match
  • Tuition sponsorship and tuition assistance
  • Shift differential
  • Professional development opportunities
  • Supplemental insurance benefits
  • Employee product discounts and giveaways


Equal Opportunity and Accommodations

The qualifications listed above are representative of the knowledge, skills, and abilities needed to perform the job successfully. Reasonable accommodations may be made to enable individuals with disabilities to perform essential job functions.
