We’re looking for a hands-on PLC Electrical Technician to join our clients team.

• Maintain safety standards and implement best practices across electrical systems
• Support continuous improvement and preventative maintenance projects
• Strong background in electrical troubleshooting in industrial settings
• Hands-on experience with PLCs—especially Allen Bradley and ladder logic
• Familiarity with safety protocols and electrical compliance requirements
• Comfortable working around high-volume equipment with motors and sensors
• Willingness to learn robotic systems and vision tools
