As an Industrial Electrician, I install, maintain, and repair electrical systems, wiring, and equipment in industrial environments. I diagnose and troubleshoot electrical malfunctions to minimize downtime and ensure operational efficiency. I read and interpret electrical schematics, blueprints, and technical diagrams to guarantee accurate installations. I ensure compliance with local, state, and national electrical codes and safety regulations. Additionally, I conduct preventive maintenance on motors, transformers, circuit breakers, and control panels. I install, program, and troubleshoot PLC and automated control systems. I perform electrical testing using multimeters, oscilloscopes, and other diagnostic tools. I collaborate with engineers, maintenance teams, and production staff to optimize electrical systems.
