Equal Opportunity Employer Vet/Disabled

Job Description
We are seeking a highly skilled Senior Coil Winder specializing in large-scale power transformers.
In this role, you will be responsible for the using specialized winding techniques, including Disc, Helical, and CTC
(Continuously Transposed Conductor) winding. This position requires a mastery of tension control and the ability
to interpret complex engineering blueprints to ensure optimal electrical performance and mechanical strength.
Responsibilities
  • High-Voltage Coil Winding: Set up and operate heavy-duty winding machines to produce coils for transformers rated at 161 kV, 230 kV, and 345 kV.
    • Winding Techniques: Execute complex winding patterns including:
