Plant Electrician – PLC/Drives - Baltimore, MD
3 days ago
Job description
A day in the life
You start your shift with a safety huddle centered on our Core Values: Safety, Sustainability & Continuous Improvement. You review schematics, plan a few preventive tasks, and head to the belt lines for a walkdown. A sensor is faulting—ladder logic points you to a proximity switch. After lockout/tagout, you swap the sensor, verify PLC I/O, and bring the conveyor back online. Later, you build out a panel upgrade, bend conduit, and test 220/480V power distribution. When operations ramps up, you safely step into equipment operation to support coal transshipment from rail to vessel—coordinating with loaders, dozers, locomotives, and cranes to keep throughput steady.
What you'll tackle
- Install, maintain, troubleshoot, and repair plant electrical systems and belt lines to keep the facility powered and efficient.
- Execute preventive maintenance, diagnostics, adjustments, and installations across AC/DC motors and drives, controls, PLCs, and sensors (limit/proximity).
- Read and apply electrical codes, manuals, schematics, diagrams, and blueprints to industrial machinery and equipment.
- Use trade tools and methods, including ladder logic, to minimize downtime and improve reliability.
- Conduct safety inspections and adhere to OSHA requirements: lockout/tagout, confined space, fall protection, hot work, mobile equipment operation, and proper PPE.
- Cross-train and, when needed, safely operate heavy equipment supporting coal transfer from rail to vessel.
What you bring
- 3+ years as an industrial electrician in a manufacturing setting.
- Fluency in reading/interpreting electrical blueprints, schematics, and technical documentation.
- Strong command of electrical codes, regulations, and industrial safety practices.
- Analytical troubleshooting under pressure and clear written/verbal communication.
- Hands-on PLC experience and comfort with 220/480V systems, panel building/repair, industrial wiring, and conduit bending.
- Ability to work at heights, outdoors, and in confined spaces.
- Ability to obtain and maintain a Transportation Workers Identification Credential (TWIC).
- Willingness to work overtime and rotating shifts, including nights, holidays, and weekends.
- Journeyman or Master Electrician license highly preferred.
Your toolkit
- PLC troubleshooting and programming in ladder logic.
- Creating and executing preventive maintenance plans.
- Electrical and heavy equipment repair expertise.
- Background in manufacturing environments.
Technology
- Programmable Logic Controllers (PLC).
Rewards & rhythm of work
- Competitive pay with monthly and quarterly bonus opportunities.
- Great benefits and a flexible schedule aligned to operational needs.
