What is UL 891?

UL 891 is a safety standard developed by Underwriters Laboratories for dead-front switchboards. It sets the requirements for the construction, performance, and testing of switchboards used in commercial and industrial electrical distribution systems. The standard covers aspects such as electrical insulation, enclosure strength, short-circuit ratings, and safety for both installation and operation. Compliance with UL 891 ensures that switchboards are reliable and safe for use in various building environments. Manufacturers often seek UL 891 certification to demonstrate their products meet these rigorous safety requirements.

What are the primary responsibilities and daily tasks of a UL 891 panel builder in an industrial setting?

As a UL 891 Panel Builder, your main responsibilities include assembling, wiring, and testing switchboards in accordance with the UL 891 safety standard. You'll work closely with engineering teams to interpret schematics and ensure all components meet regulatory specifications. Daily tasks often involve precision wiring, mounting electrical devices, and performing quality checks to guarantee compliance. Collaboration with quality control and field technicians is common to resolve design or installation issues. This role requires attention to detail, adherence to safety protocols, and effective communication with other departments.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a UL 891 switchboard technician, and why are they important?

To thrive as a UL 891 Switchboard Technician, you need a solid background in electrical systems, blueprint reading, and UL 891 standards, often supported by technical training or certification in electrical technology. Familiarity with tools such as multimeters, wiring schematics, and electrical testing equipment, as well as knowledge of compliance software, is essential. Attention to detail, problem-solving abilities, and effective teamwork are vital soft skills in this role. These skills and qualifications are critical to ensure safe, compliant, and efficient assembly, testing, and maintenance of switchboards in accordance with industry standards.

  • Work with our product and engineering teams to translate designs into accurate manufacturing prints
  • Create detailed mechanical and electrical CAD drawings in SolidWorks, adhering to UL 891 and other applicable standards
  • Maintain up-to-date design documentation and clearly communicate changes to relevant stakeholders
  • Review and verify all drawings to ensure clarity, manufacturability, and alignment with technical requirements
  • Troubleshoot design issues during production in collaboration with manufacturing teams
  • Manage multiple design projects simultaneously and deliver on deadlines
  • Communicate effectively across time zones to align technical deliverables and resolve any issues quickly
Requirements
  • Degree or certification in Mechanical Engineering
  • 3+ years of experience in a sheet metal manufacturing environment
  • Proficiency in CAD tools, particularly SolidWorks
  • Demonstrated experience designing UL 891-compliant low-voltage switchboards
  • Strong knowledge of manufacturing processes, tolerances, and material specifications
  • Excellent verbal and written communication skills, especially when coordinating with international teams
  • Highly organized with the ability to manage multiple projects at once
Bonus points
  • Familiarity with North American electrical and manufacturing standards
  • Familiarity with UL 67, PDU, or medium voltage switchgear design
  • Familiarity with Annex G of UL 891
  • Experience using PDM systems for CAD file management ( Solidworks PDM)
  • Background working with international or cross-functional teams in a startup or fast-paced environment
  • Understanding of modular data center or infrastructure products
Benefits
  • Subsidized health, dental, and vision insurance
  • Equity (options) in a rapidly growing startup
