Now Hiring: Industrial Electrician

(Full-Time • Take-Home Vehicle • Stable Schedule)

We're looking for a hands-on Industrial Electrician who knows their way around power systems, controls, and industrial equipment. If you've worked construction, industrial plants, utilities, or heavy facilities-and you like troubleshooting, fixing what's broken, and building things right the first time-this job is for you.

You'll work on critical electrical systems that keep our facilities running safely and reliably.


What You'll Be Doing

This is real industrial electrical work-not residential or light commercial.

  • Troubleshoot, repair, and maintain electrical power, controls, and instrumentation

  • Work on 4160V and below, 3-phase power, switchgear, transformers, generators, UPS systems, batteries, and transfer switches

  • Install and maintain conduit, wiring, lighting, motor controls, VFDs, soft starts, and control panels

  • Respond to power issues and outages-find the cause and fix it

  • Perform preventive maintenance and breakdown repairs

  • Read and mark up prints, schematics, and one-line diagrams

  • Help with new installs, upgrades, and system improvements

  • Work around PLCs and instrumentation (you won't be programming full-time, but you'll use them for troubleshooting)

  • Follow NEC (2012) and NFPA 70E / Arc Flash safety standards

  • Coordinate work to minimize downtime and keep operations running


Schedule & Work Environment

  • 40 hours per week, Monday-Friday

  • On-call rotation may be required after hours

  • Work indoors and outdoors, year-round

  • Confined spaces, wet areas, heights, and energized equipment at times

  • Take-home vehicle provided


What We're Looking For

  • Journeyman Electrician license (Utah) minimum
    (Master Electrician preferred)

  • Strong industrial or construction electrical background

  • Experience with:

    • Motor controls, generators, UPS, VFDs

    • Power distribution and switchgear

    • Control wiring and troubleshooting

  • Ability to read blueprints and electrical diagrams

  • Comfortable using meters, test equipment, and hand/power tools

  • Willing to learn water treatment and utility systems (training provided)


Education & Experience

  • High school diploma or equivalent required

  • Technical school or electrical trade training preferred

  • Typically 6+ years of electrical experience (or equivalent combo of schooling and field work)


Licenses & Certifications

  • Valid Utah Driver's License

  • Utah Journeyman or Master Electrician license

  • Ability to obtain Utah Grade IV Water Treatment or Distribution certification within 6 months (we help with this)

  • Ongoing continuing education for licenses


Physical & Safety Requirements

  • Lift up to 50 lbs occasionally

  • Frequent standing, climbing, kneeling, crawling, and reaching

  • Work safely around high voltage and energized equipment

  • Must follow all safety procedures and electrical codes


Why This Job Is Solid

  • Stable, full-time work

  • Day shift schedule

  • Take-home work vehicle

  • Variety of work-no two days are the same

  • Long-term career opportunity, not a short-term project


If you're an experienced Industrial Electrician who takes pride in your work and wants a dependable job with real responsibility, we'd like to hear from you.
