Job description

Are you a military veteran with a strong background in electrical systems and maintenance operations? This Electrical Specialist opportunity with the company could be a perfect fit for your transition into the civilian workforce. The role plays a critical part in maintaining safe, reliable, and efficient operations across multiple industrial production facilities. Much like mission-critical assignments in the military, you'll be expected to make real-time decisions, troubleshoot high-voltage electrical systems, and lead by example in dynamic field environments.

The Electrical Specialist is tasked with developing and implementing preventive and predictive maintenance strategies while also performing hands-on diagnostics and repairs. You'll work with complex systems such as substations, transformers, relay systems, UPS backups, and motors up to 45,000 hp - all requiring precision, discipline, and technical skill sets that align closely with military training. From managing IR thermography and transformer oil analysis to coordinating maintenance schedules, this role demands attention to detail and an ability to work independently or lead a team - skills honed in the service.

You'll be part of a Regional Reliability team with the company, contributing to broader strategic goals while operating with autonomy in the field. Veterans who are used to traveling for assignments and managing unpredictable conditions will find the travel component (up to 50%) and off-hours availability both familiar and manageable. Your ability to operate under pressure, communicate clearly, and uphold safety protocols will be highly valued in this role. You'll also engage in root cause analysis, contribute to turnaround planning, and provide technical guidance to on-site teams.

In return, the company offers a competitive compensation package, including health and dental insurance, paid time off, 401(k) with matching, and pension benefits. Whether you're a former electrician's mate, power systems technician, or maintenance supervisor from the military, this role allows you to bring your operational excellence, technical expertise, and mission-first mindset to a meaningful civilian career in industrial reliability.
