Job Summary We are seeking a skilled and motivated Journeyman Electrician/Instrumentation Technicians to join the White Mountain Paper Tissue Team.

Qualifications:

Journeyman E/I skill proven by the

WMP E/I JW-A

written exam (84 of 120, safety 16 of 20) and a pass on every practical station, or an equivalent documented journeyman qualification White Mountain Paper accepts. Independent skill on various voltage motor control, breakers, motors, and VFDs, including PowerFlex fault finding and nameplate setup. Ability to work on electrical power distribution system up to 2300 V. Ability to trace Rockwell (Allen-Bradley) ladder and to use FactoryTalk. Ability to scale a 4-20 mA loop, set an I/P, and troubleshoot flow, temperature, BTG consistency, and on-off valves. Working knowledge of hydraulic and pneumatic control devices: solenoids, proportional valves, pressure switches, and stored energy. NFPA 70E-aware electrical safe work, LOTO, and confined-space practice. Will not defeat an E-stop, a burner trip, or a boiler low-water cutoff. Authorization to work in the United States. Employment is contingent on the background check and drug screen the mill requires. Carry up to 50 Lbs., ascend ladders and stairs, operate powdered industrial equipment, and working in cold to hot working conditions. Essential Job Responsibilities Ability to work with low voltages to 2300 V. Troubleshoot and repair 480 V motor control, MCC buckets, breakers, overloads, and motors on TM6, stock prep, and utilities. Respect high-resistance ground alarms. Do not lift a neutral to clear a fault. Maintain PowerFlex and other VFDs. Read the fault, compare current to nameplate FLA, and correct decel, ground-fault, and motor-data errors. Disconnect the drive before a megger test. Install and terminate motor and instrument cable so drive noise does not corrupt consistency, scanner, or analog loops. Ground and shield as the standard requires. Support transformers, disconnects, and lighting and receptacle circuits assigned to the crew. Do not open a CT secondary on an energized primary. Prove absence of voltage with a live-dead-live test. Rockwell controls, FactoryTalk, and ParcView Trace and troubleshoot ControlLogix and CompactLogix ladder: seal-in, timers, one-shots, permissives, and interlocks. Know the difference between a start permissive and a trip interlock. Make controlled online edits with a second person on critical motion, a saved copy, and a test. Use FactoryTalk View to see mode, alarms, and setpoints. An HMI write is not a logic change. Use ParcView to time a trip: run command, speed, current, interlock, sheet break, and tag quality. Calibrate and troubleshoot 4-20 mA loops, I/P transducers (3-15 psig unless the device says otherwise), positioners, and digital on-off valves with open and closed limits. Maintain flow measurement used on stock and white water, including magnetic flowmeters (full pipe, ground, empty-pipe faults) and differential-pressure flow where installed.

Maintain temperature measurement:

RTDs on stock and water, thermocouples on the Yankee hood and burners. Know upscale burnout before trusting a pegged temperature. Maintain BTG consistency transmitters. A blade meter feels freeness, ash, air, temperature, and velocity, not only bone-dry consistency. Check the lab before condemning the meter. Know fail position of basis-weight, steam, stock, and damper valves before an instrument-air outage. Do not open a live loop without knowing where the valve will go. Support level, pressure, and analytical instruments on chests, the steam plant, and effluent as assigned, including devices the environmental permit depends on. Maintain the ABB QCS scanner traverse, heads, standardization, and sheet-break detection from the electrical and instrument side. Park off-sheet, lock the traverse, and close a nuclear shutter before work. Assist troubleshooting of hydraulic and pneumatic systems. Maintain the ABB QCS scanner traverse, heads, standardization, and sheet-break detection from the electrical and instrument side. Write work orders, stage parts, and critique repeat electrical and instrument failures with the Reliability Engineer. Mentor E/I B through E and apprentices on LOTO, meter use, loop checks etc. helping them gain E/I knowledge. Confined-space entry, hot work, and fall protection follow the mill program. Join us as a Journeyman Electrician to bring your expertise into impactful projects that power industries while advancing your career in a vibrant environment committed to safety, innovation, and excellence!
