How much do electrical helper jobs pay per hour?
What is the difference between Electrical Helper vs Electrician?
| Aspect | Electrical Helper | Electrician |
|---|---|---|
| Required Credentials | High school diploma or equivalent; on-the-job training | High school diploma or equivalent; apprenticeship or technical training; licensing |

About the Opportunity
We're looking for experienced maintenance professionals with a background in electrical and instrumentation who are interested in taking the next step in their career.

This position offers a balance of technical problem-solving, coordination, and leadership, along with the opportunity to contribute to ongoing improvements across the mill.
What You'll Be Involved In
- Coordinating and/or leading daily maintenance activities and planned outages
- Supporting a safety-first work environment
- Partnering with operations to address equipment issues and maintain production targets
- Improving planning, scheduling, and execution of maintenance work
- Troubleshooting issues with electrical, instrumentation, and process equipment
- Supporting or leading a skilled maintenance team, depending on role alignment
- Contributing to equipment reliability and performance improvements
Background We're Looking For
- Demonstrated commitment to safety leadership
- Degree in Electrical Engineering preferred, or equivalent combination of education and experience
- 3+ years of experience in industrial electrical and instrumentation maintenance
- 3+ years of experience in supervision, shutdown planning, or engineering roles
- Strong troubleshooting skills with process or rotating equipment
- Familiarity with SAP or similar CMMS systems
- Electrical Engineering degree is helpful, though hands-on experience is equally valued
