    Custom Automation Systems

    We are seeking an experienced Lead Electrician / Panel Builder Manager to serve as a working manager for the electrical assembly team supporting custom automated equipment. This role blends hands‑on panel building and machine wiring with leadership and project oversight. No two projects are the same, making this an ideal opportunity for someone who enjoys variety, problem-solving, and custom work.

    You will lead electrical assembly from concept through installation, working directly with schematics, wiring diagrams, control panels, PLCs, and machine electrical systems, while mentoring and supporting a team of electricians and panel builders.

    Compensation & Benefits:

    • $36–$44/hr, depending on experience.
    • Overtime paid after 40 hours, including travel time.
    • Full benefits package including medical (BCBS), dental (Delta), 401(k) with company match, company‑paid life insurance, optional disability and voluntary life insurance.
    • Generous PTO, paid holidays, and annual tool allowance.

    Key Responsibilities:

    • Act as a working manager and technical lead for electrical assembly.
    • Lead and support panel builders and electricians.
    • Perform hands‑on electrical assembly, panel wiring, and machine wiring.
    • Read, interpret, and build from electrical schematics and wiring diagrams.
    • Troubleshoot electrical issues on control panels and automated machinery.
    • Ensure electrical builds meet schematics, quality standards, and documentation.
    • Coordinate with engineering and other departments to meet project timelines.
    • Support run‑off, teardown, and on‑site installation activities.
    • Maintain a clean, organized, and safe electrical assembly area.

    Required Experience & Skills:

    • 5+ years of hands‑on experience as a panel builder, electrician, or machine wiring technician.
    • Strong experience with electrical assembly, control panels, and wiring.
    • Ability to read and interpret electrical schematics and wiring diagrams.
    • Experience wiring and troubleshooting PLCs and machine electrical systems.
    • Proven experience in a lead, senior, or working‑manager role.
    • Strong organizational, communication, and leadership skills.
    • Solid mechanical aptitude with a focus on safety and quality.
    • Proficiency with MS Office; ERP experience a plus.
    • High school diploma or GED required; vocational or technical training preferred.
    • Self‑starter with a positive attitude and ability to manage multiple priorities.
    • Comfortable supporting on‑site installations and system startups, including up to approximately 30% travel, primarily domestic, with international travel as needed.
