Job Title:

Industrial Electrical Panel Builder / Electrician Position Overview We are seeking a meticulous and detail-oriented Industrial Electrical Panel Builder / Electrician to join our production team. In this role, you will be responsible for laying out, assembling, and wiring custom-engineered electrical control panels and power distribution panels that drive our industrial chillers and large-scale refrigeration machinery. Because our equipment is custom-built to order, there are no standard assembly manuals; all panels must be built from scratch using engineering electrical schematics and blueprints . You must be highly proficient in interpreting these schematics to ensure every panel is wired to precise engineering specifications and meets industrial safety standards.

Position Type:

Full-Time, In-House (Production Floor)

Location:

Hatfield, PA Key Responsibilities Schematic-Driven Wiring:

Utilize engineering electrical schematics , ladder diagrams, and bills of materials (BOMs) as the primary instruction source to lay out and wire all panel components.

Panel Assembly:

Mount components (PLCs, VFDs, motor starters, relays, circuit breakers, power supplies, and terminal blocks) onto sub-panels and enclosures according to layout drawings and schematic requirements.

Power & Control Point-to-Point Wiring:

Execute precise point-to-point wiring using schematics. Route, strip, crimp, and terminate heavy-gauge wire for 480V 3-phase power distribution circuits, as well as delicate low-voltage (24V DC) PLC control wiring.

Enclosure Preparation:

Measure, drill, tap, and cut holes in metal enclosures to mount conduits, human-machine interfaces (HMIs), pushbuttons, and disconnect switches based on schematic blueprints.

Quality & Safety Validation:

Cross-reference the completed physical panel against the original electrical schematics to conduct continuity and point-to-point wire checks using multimeters prior to final power testing. Ensure panels comply with UL 508A and NEC standards.

Collaboration & Marking:

Apply clear wire labels, terminal tags, and component markers in strict alignment with schematic designations. Provide feedback to engineering regarding schematic errors or design optimization tweaks.

Required Qualifications Education:

High School Diploma or GED required. Technical trade school certificate or apprenticeship in Industrial Electricity, Electrical Technology, or Mechatronics is preferred.

Experience:

2-5+ years of hands-on experience building, wiring, and troubleshooting industrial electrical control panels from the ground up using schematics.

Schematic Literacy:

Advanced, proven ability to read, interpret, and trace complex industrial electrical schematics , wiring diagrams, and mechanical engineering layouts.

Tool & Component Mastery:

Proficiency using manual and power tools (wire strippers, crimpers, torque wrenches, drill presses, knockout punches, and digital multimeters). Familiarity with industrial control components (Allen-Bradley, Siemens, etc.).

Workmanship:

Exceptional attention to detail with a focus on neatness (clean wire routing, proper bundling, and secure terminations) and safety practices. Physical Requirements & Working Conditions Must be able to stand for extended periods on the manufacturing floor. Ability to lift up to 50 lbs and distinguish wire colors accurately.
