Job description

Build Technician
Rate: $32–$38/hr + OT (1.5x) + Travel Perks
Travel: 20-30% (North America, Canada, Mexico)
Location: Columbus, OH, relocation assistance available

We’re hiring multiple Build Technicians to support advanced automated welding systems used across North America. These aren’t cookie-cutter roles—you’ll be part of a highly technical, hands-on team working on robotic systems, electrical builds, and precision hardware.

PLC / Electrical Field Service Technician
Focus: Automation, robotics, and electrical troubleshooting
What you’ll be doing:
  • Troubleshoot and support automated welding cells with robotic arms
  • Work with PLC systems (Allen Bradley preferred) – basic ladder logic, debugging, and support
  • Read and interpret wiring diagrams and schematics
  • Perform electrical builds, panel wiring, and component replacement
  • Support installation, startup, and field service projects
What we’re looking for:
  • 2-5+ years of hands-on electrical or automation experience
  • Experience with PLCs and industrial controls
  • Comfortable doing both electrical AND light mechanical work
  • Background as an electrician, builder, or automation tech
  • Robotic arm experience = big plus

What Makes This Different
  • You’re not just maintaining—you’re building, troubleshooting, and improving systems
  • Work alongside a tight-knit team (25 total, growing fast)
  • Exposure to robotics, AI-driven automation, and advanced manufacturing tech
  • A lot of training and hands-on learning
  • Flexible scheduling when not traveling
