Electrician

When a production line goes down, are you the one who figures out why?

We're looking for an Industrial Electrician who doesn't just fix electrical problems but knows how to spot them before they stop production. If you enjoy troubleshooting complex equipment, working with PLCs and drives, and taking ownership of problems others might escalate, this is an opportunity to put your skills to work in a fast-paced industrial environment.

Job Summary

We're hiring an Industrial Electrician to support electrical maintenance, automation troubleshooting, and equipment reliability at our manufacturing facility in Sinton, TX. You'll work with industrial motors, variable frequency drives, PLC-controlled equipment, and electrical distribution systems to keep continuous production operations running safely and efficiently.

This is a fully onsite position with a rotating four-days-on, four-days-off schedule. Shifts run from 7:00 to 7:00 and include day and night rotations. Depending on operational needs, you may initially work a daytime schedule before transitioning into a shift assignment.

What You'll Do

\n
• Troubleshoot electrical and automation issues involving motors, VFDs, PLC inputs and outputs, sensors, and power distribution systems to minimize unplanned downtime.
\n
• Perform preventive maintenance and routine production-line inspections, identifying developing equipment issues before they become failures.
\n
• Use PLC software, ladder logic fundamentals, electrical schematics, and diagnostic tools to investigate equipment faults and restore reliable operation.
\n
• Troubleshoot industrial control signals, including 4–20 mA instrumentation, and support equipment operating on industrial networks.
\n
• Document findings, communicate maintenance concerns, and collaborate with engineering and operations teams to improve equipment performance and reliability.
\n

What You'll Bring

\n
• A two-year technical degree or technical certificate in industrial electrical technology or a related field.
\n
• At least 1–2 years of relevant industrial electrical or automation experience, with 3–5 years preferred.
\n
• Working knowledge of electrical theory, industrial motors, electrical troubleshooting, and power distribution.
\n
• Practical understanding of PLCs, including inputs, outputs, basic ladder logic, and software navigation.
\n
• Familiarity with variable frequency drives (VFDs) and industrial motor control systems.
\n
• Ability to interpret electrical diagrams, troubleshoot equipment systematically, and identify root causes.
\n
• Exposure to industrial instrumentation, 4–20 mA signals, and equipment networking.
\n
• Willingness to work rotating day and night shifts in a continuous manufacturing environment.

Experience in steel mills, metals manufacturing, industrial automation, or other continuous production environments is especially valuable. We're looking for electricians who understand how industrial systems work together, not just how to install wiring and conduit.

Target total compensation is approximately $70,000–$90,000, with the potential to earn $90,000 or more after transitioning into shift work. This is an hourly position with production and conversion bonus opportunities.Partial relocation assistance may be available on a case-by-case basis.

You'll join an industrial maintenance team where technical problem-solving, continuous improvement, and taking ownership of equipment reliability are valued. You'll also have the opportunity to develop your automation troubleshooting skills while supporting complex manufacturing operations.

If you're ready to go beyond routine electrical maintenance and take on challenging industrial automation problems, we'd like to hear from you. Apply today!
