Electrical Engineering Technician – Night Shift (Full-Time)

4 Days On / 4 Days Off | No Travel | Hands-On Automation Role | Competitive Shift Differential

We’re looking for an Electrical Engineering Technician to join our team on the night shift and support the ongoing reliability and automation of our production operations. In this role, you’ll work side-by-side with a Senior Controls Engineer to troubleshoot line issues, keep equipment running safely and efficiently, and develop new PLC‑based control solutions for automation projects.

This position is ideal for someone who enjoys hands‑on work, solving electrical problems in real time, and helping drive the next generation of automated equipment.

What You’ll Do

• Maintain a strong focus on safety, following company procedures and national electrical standards.
• Troubleshoot electrical and controls issues on production lines to reduce downtime.
• Modify and create PLC programs as needed to support equipment performance.
• Assist in designing and implementing control systems that use sensors, motion control, and feedback loops.
• Interpret electrical schematics, update documentation, and support system improvements.
• Partner with the Senior Controls Engineer on automation upgrades and equipment optimization.
• Take on additional tasks as needed within the scope of the department.

Why This Role Stands Out
