Key Responsibilities

Electrical Maintenance & Troubleshooting

• Troubleshoot, diagnose, and repair industrial electrical systems and equipment.
• Apply working knowledge of three-phase power, AC/DC circuits, industrial voltages, current, frequency, power, harmonics, and leakage current to identify and resolve equipment issues.
• Diagnose electrical faults involving motors, sensors, switches, relays, contactors, circuit breakers, control circuits, safety circuits, variable frequency drives (VFDs), and related electrical components.
• Read and interpret electrical schematics, wiring diagrams, equipment manuals, and control documentation.
• Create basic electrical diagrams based on equipment requirements and operational needs.
• Identify and select appropriate electrical components and materials based on electrical diagrams and application requirements.
• Assemble, wire, and build electrical panels according to approved electrical diagrams and specifications.
• Safely troubleshoot electrical safety circuits within control panels to identify the source of equipment faults.
• Replace failed electrical components with appropriate replacements from the same manufacturer.
• Identify and install suitable equivalent components from other manufacturers when direct replacements are unavailable.
• Wire industrial electric motors and verify proper connections and operation.
• Read and interpret motor nameplates, including voltage, amperage, phase, frequency, and power ratings.
• Determine the appropriate variable frequency drive (VFD) based on motor specifications and application requirements.
• Select the correct electrical cable and conductor sizes based on electrical loads and application needs.
• Perform electrical testing using multimeters and other appropriate diagnostic equipment.
• Follow all applicable electrical safety procedures and Lockout/Tagout (LOTO) requirements.

• Perform MIG welding, fabrication, cutting, and equipment repairs as needed.
• Troubleshoot, maintain, and repair industrial forklifts and material-handling equipment.
• Perform preventive and predictive maintenance according to established schedules.
• Respond promptly to equipment breakdowns and production needs to minimize downtime.
• Identify recurring equipment failures, determine root causes, and recommend corrective or preventive solutions.
• Proactively inspect equipment to identify potential failures before they result in unplanned downtime.
• Document completed maintenance work, repairs, parts used, findings, and outstanding issues.
• Maintain clear communication with Operations regarding equipment status, repair progress, and estimated completion times.
• Assist in training other maintenance technicians and sharing technical knowledge.
• Keep tools, parts, equipment, electrical panels, and maintenance work areas safe, clean, and organized.

Safety & Work Standards

The Industrial Maintenance Mechanic is expected to follow established safety procedures, use appropriate diagnostic tools and equipment, maintain organized work areas, and comply with Lockout/Tagout (LOTO) requirements.
