Electrical helper Jobs in High Point, NC

Your day at Teknor Apex

You clock in and head straight to the line, multimeter in hand. A motor drive is tripping—so you trace the issue, read the ladder logic, and bring it back online. Before lunch, you run through scheduled electrical PMs and close out detailed work orders. In the afternoon, you calibrate a set of scales and balances, then wire a control cabinet from a schematic for a process upgrade. Throughout the day, you work safely, keep your area tidy, and plan the next tasks so production never misses a beat.

About Teknor Apex

When Alfred Fain founded a small Rhode Island tire store in 1924, at the time no one could have predicted how Teknor Apex would become an international custom compounder sought out by companies around the world. After a nearly hundred-year journey that’s carried us through acquisitions and expansion, we now have nine U.S. locations, as well as operations in Belgium, Singapore, Germany, and China.

Throughout this global expansion Teknor has remained a privately held company, and today Fain’s grandson sits at the helm, maintaining the family’s tradition of fostering deep employee and customer relationships. These relationships are what allow us—together—to deliver customized compound solutions and help our customer’s create better products.

“Manufacturing is a team sport and we work together to achieve our goals.” ~Jon Fain
