• Lead or support root cause investigations for equipment/process non-conformances and implement corrective actions to prevent recurrence.
• Provide technical coaching and on-the-job certification for Manufacturing Technicians Level III and below.
• Apply continuous improvement tools (Lean, Six Sigma concepts, root cause analysis) to increase safety, reliability, and productivity.
• Maintain strict alignment to electrical safety practices including lockout/tagout, NFPA 70E/arc-flash controls, and energized electrical work protocols.

• Minimum 4 years of relevant technical, electrical, or industrial maintenance experience, or equivalent (military, trade-school, or apprenticeship experience considered).
• Electrical Journeyman license or documented completion of a recognized electrical apprenticeship program (or equivalent documented experience).
• Proven hands-on experience with PLCs, HMIs, motor controls, sensors, drives, control panels, and automated manufacturing equipment.
• Ability to read and understand schematics, ladder logic, wiring diagrams, and manuals.
• Experience or proven ability to perform Manufacturing Technician tasks (clearing jams, loading materials, routine cleaning, basic mechanical adjustments) while maintaining safety and production priorities.
• Strong problem-solving skills and ability to prioritize multiple tasks in a fast-paced production environment.
• Proficient verbal and written communication and the ability to work independently or with multi-functional teams.
• Ability to pass applicable technical assessments (for example, the Ramsay Electrical/Mechanical Proficiency Test) and site-specific electrical qualifications.
• Willingness to work rotating 12-hour shifts (6 am–6 pm or 6 pm–6 am), including weekends.
• Physical ability to stoop, kneel, walk, climb, reach, lift up to 25 lbs., and perform other routine manufacturing tasks.
• Ability to successfully complete and maintain Blue Badge Certification per site requirements.

Preferred qualifications:

• Associate degree or equivalent experience, certificate, or military technical training in an electrical, automation, or related field.
• Experience with NEC, NFPA 70E, lockout/tagout procedures, and arc-flash mitigation in an industrial environment.
• Experience supporting high-volume automated packaging or manufacturing equipment, machine vision, sterilizers, dosing systems, or injection molding.
• Familiarity with Lean Six Sigma methods (Yellow/Green Belt) and experience applying process improvement to reduce variation and improve equipment reliability.

Work environment and expectations

• Fast-paced manufacturing environment with a focus on safety, quality, and continuous improvement.
• Role requires both sophisticated electrical problem solving skills and daily Manufacturing Technician tasks to keep production running.
