At SDMyers, we help electric power system owners maximize the reliability, safety, and longevity of critical electrical infrastructure. As a Good Place company, we believe business should create lasting value—not just financially, but for our people, customers, suppliers, and communities.

We are looking for an experienced Industrial / Maintenance Electrician to join our Engineered Products team. This is a hands-on role for someone who enjoys troubleshooting, building, repairing, and improving electrical and mechanical systems in an industrial manufacturing environment.

• Build, wire, assemble, and test control panels.
• Work with PLCs, touchscreens, and other electronic control systems.

This isn't a position where you'll spend every day doing the same maintenance task.

You'll have the opportunity to work across facility maintenance, industrial electrical systems, production equipment, control panels, PLCs, transformer repair, field service equipment, and substation-related work.

You'll be troubleshooting problems, building and wiring equipment, supporting projects, performing preventative maintenance, and helping improve the reliability of the systems our team depends on every day.

Most work is performed indoors in an industrial/manufacturing environment.

The work environment may include exposure to:

• Non-toxic dust
