Job description

About the role

Picture your day starting across the Shady Grove campus: a call from a production line, a transformer inspection on the west lot, then a quick install to keep a critical cell online. As our Industrial Power Distribution & Controls Electrician, you perform essential electrical installations and keep equipment running reliably across Shady Grove facilities—and at other sites as directed by the Maintenance Manager, Maintenance Supervisors, the Electrical Engineer, or their designees. Along the way, you champion our continuous improvement culture, supporting Lean, 5S, and TPR initiatives.

What you'll tackle
  • Own troubleshooting—from low-voltage DC controls to three‑phase 480/12,500V distribution—diagnosing issues fast and restoring uptime.
  • Install, commission, and service motors, generators, transfer switches, transformers, switchgear, bus ducts, and disconnects.
  • Apply NEC, IEEE, and NEMA standards to daily work; perform load calculations to correctly size conductors, conduit, fuses, and breakers per the National Electrical Code.
  • Execute preventive and corrective maintenance in a heavy manufacturing setting, documenting work clearly and escalating risks promptly.
  • Pitch in on additional tasks assigned by supervision as needs evolve.
What you bring
  • Deep working knowledge of OSHA requirements and NFPA 70E for live electrical work in industrial environments.
  • Valid driver’s license.
  • Skilled electrical tradesperson with broad familiarity across power distribution and controls.
Education & experience
  • High School Diploma or GED preferred.
  • Technical trade school training and/or equivalent hands-on experience preferred.
  • At least 2 years in heavy manufacturing, a commercial/industrial apprenticeship, or comparable military experience preferred.
Preferred qualifications
  • Ability to read electrical schematics, wiring and ladder diagrams, and interpret single‑line high‑voltage diagrams used for Arc Flash NFPA 70E compliance.
  • Comfort reading operating procedures and technical manuals; able to write clear routine reports and correspondence.
Health & safety expectations
  • Maintain exemplary housekeeping and 5S standards in the department.
  • Work safely and wear all required PPE at all times.
  • Follow established job-specific and facility-wide safety procedures and rules.
  • Engage in safety training and demonstrate competency.
  • Surface safety concerns and suggestions to management—or correct hazards you can safely address.
