Job Details:

Electrical & Instrumentation Technician -

Own the heartbeat of a cutting-edge metals plant

Keep a world-first recycling operation running at its peak

You’ll be the go-to E&I expert keeping a highly automated metals production plant safe, stable, and online.

This isn’t a slow-moving facility.

You’ll touch everything: power distribution, field instruments, PLC/DCS controls, HMIs, and networks. When something hiccups, you’re the one they call.

Your work directly protects people, equipment, and production.

If you’ve been doing industrial E&I or controls maintenance and want more impact and ownership, we want to talk to you.

What You'll Work On

You’ll own a wide range of plant electrical and controls systems, from field devices to control rooms:

• Plant electrical systems and power distribution equipment
• Field instrumentation for pressure, level, flow, temperature, pH, ORP, and analytics
• PLC, DCS, HMI platforms, remote I/O, and communication networks
• Motors, motor controls, VFDs, breakers, and control panels
• Control valves, actuators, positioners, and I/P devices
• Electrical and instrumentation drawings, loop sheets, and P&IDs
• Calibration, loop checks, and commissioning activities
• Maintenance records, documentation, and change management

You’ll routinely use multimeters, loop and process calibrators, HART communicators, and PLC/DCS software to keep the plant dialed in.

When the plant needs sharp troubleshooting and clean, safe work, you’re the one in the hot seat.

What You'll Be Doing

• Plan and scope repairs using work orders, wiring diagrams, loop sheets, P&IDs, and equipment manuals
• Apply lockout/tagout, arc flash, and isolation practices to protect people and operations
• Install and calibrate pressure, level, flow, temperature, pH, ORP, and analytical instruments
• Troubleshoot and repair PLC, DCS, HMI systems, remote I/O, I/O modules, and networks
• Calibrate, stroke, and repair control valves, actuators, positioners, and I/P devices
• Trace circuits, test signals, check loops, and use system diagnostics to pinpoint faults
• Repair or replace motors, motor controls, VFDs, breakers, and power distribution components
• Install conduit, cable tray, wiring, tubing, junction boxes, control panels, and instruments
• Perform loop checks, functional testing, and support commissioning of systems
• Make approved PLC, DCS, and HMI program changes under site change management
• Support energized work, lifts, and rigging when trained and authorized
• Maintain accurate records of calibrations, repairs, program changes, and parts usage while keeping work areas clean and organized

What We're Looking For

• Minimum 3 years of industrial electrical & instrumentation or controls maintenance experience (5+ years for senior-level consideration)
• Associate degree in electrical, instrumentation, or controls, or equivalent hands-on experience
• Working knowledge of power distribution, motor controls, PLC/DCS, instruments, and industrial networks
• Proficiency with multimeters, loop and process calibrators, HART communicators, and PLC/DCS software
• Ability to read and interpret electrical and instrumentation drawings, control logic, and P&IDs
• Solid grounding in electrical theory, applicable codes, and safe work practices
• Able to wear required PPE, including a respirator, and work at heights
• ISA certification, electrical license, or manufacturer PLC/DCS training preferred

The Experience That Will Really Get Our Attention

You’re the technician operations trusts when a line is down, an instrument is lying, or a drive trips unexpectedly.

You’re comfortable from MCC to field junction box, and just as confident with a laptop in the control room as you are with a meter on the floor.

If you’ve tuned complex loops, cleaned up legacy control issues, and left behind clean documentation and reliable systems, you’ll stand out fast.

High-signal experience: industrial E&I maintenance • power distribution • motor controls • VFDs • PLC systems • DCS systems • HMI interfaces • remote I/O • field instrumentation (pressure/level/flow/temperature/pH/ORP/analytical) • control valves • actuators • positioners • I/P converters • HART devices • loop and process calibrators • electrical codes • industrial safety practices

Why This Opportunity?

You’re not just maintaining lights and outlets here. You’re supporting a specialized metals operation built around advanced recovery and refining processes.

You’ll work independently under a Maintenance Supervisor and be the person who newer technicians and contractors look to for guidance.

Your fingerprints will be on every critical system that keeps this facility safe, efficient, and profitable—and you’ll see the direct impact of your skill every shift.

Interested?

If you’re ready to take ownership of serious industrial E&I systems and be the technician the plant relies on, let’s get your resume in play.
