Connector Operator Jobs in Tennessee (NOW HIRING)

Battery Room Technician | Memphis, TN | Up to $25/hr

Mural Group Industrial is hiring Battery Room Technicians to support a 24/7 distribution operation in Memphis, Tennessee. This is a W-2 contract placement with multiple shift openings and a fixed schedule -- same days and hours every week, no rotation.

Shift Openings

Weekday openings (40 hrs/wk):

• Day Shift | Monday through Friday | 8-hour shift

• Afternoon Shift | Monday through Friday | 8-hour shift

• Night Shift | Monday through Friday | 8-hour shift

Weekend openings (24 hrs/wk):

• Saturday and Sunday | 12-hour shifts

Weekday roles are 40 straight hours with no structural overtime. Weekend roles are two days and 24 hours per week -- ideal for candidates looking for a consistent part-time schedule or supplemental income on top of another role.

About the Role

You will own the battery room. Your job is to keep the facility's electric forklift fleet charged, maintained, and ready to run every shift without exception. This is a safety-critical, hands-on role at a large distribution operation that runs 24 hours a day, 365 days a year (Christmas Day is the only exception). If you do not show up, the fleet does not run. We are looking for people who take that seriously.

Pay is up to $25/hr based on experience. Candidates with direct battery room or distribution center maintenance experience will be prioritized at the top of the range. Strong mechanical candidates from adjacent trades will also be considered -- if your hands-on background is solid, we will train you on the specifics.

What You Will Do

• Perform routine lead-acid battery maintenance: watering, cleaning, equalization, and capacity testing

• Execute battery changeouts and swaps to keep lift trucks running throughout each shift

• Inspect chargers, connectors, and cables; perform basic repairs and flag issues for escalation

• Monitor charge and discharge cycles and maintain accurate maintenance logs

• Troubleshoot underperforming batteries using voltmeters, hydrometers, and diagnostic tools

• Keep the battery room clean, organized, and in full compliance with OSHA safety requirements

• Handle and neutralize electrolyte spills using proper PPE and procedures

• Coordinate with forklift operators to schedule battery swaps with minimal disruption to operations

What You Need

Required:

• High school diploma or GED

• 1 to 2 years of hands-on experience in a battery room, industrial maintenance, warehouse maintenance, or a closely related skilled trades role

• Familiarity with lead-acid battery maintenance procedures (watering, equalization, specific gravity testing)

• Experience following OSHA safety protocols and using PPE in a maintenance environment

• Ability to lift 50+ lbs and safely operate battery lifts and hoists

• Reliable attendance -- this operation does not have a backup plan if you do not show up

Preferred:

• Direct battery room experience in a distribution center, warehouse, or logistics facility

• Working knowledge of DC electrical systems and battery charging principles

• Forklift operator certification

• OSHA 10 or 30 (General Industry)

• Charger fault, bad cell, or connector troubleshooting experience

Will also consider:

• Candidates from auto/diesel mechanics, HVAC, or industrial electrical backgrounds with transferable mechanical skills and a strong safety foundation

What to Expect

• Fixed schedule -- same shift every week, no rotation

• PPE provided on day one (steel toe boots required; bring your own)

• Safety-first environment at an established, well-run distribution facility

• W-2 employment through Mural Group -- not 1099

• Mural Group contributes $500 per month toward health insurance, which fully covers an individual employee

• Long-term contract with opportunity to grow into a lead technician role
