About the Opportunity Are you looking for true industrial electrical and controls ownership without having to work nights? A premier, specialty-food manufacturer with over 35 years of industry success and continuous expansion is hiring a Day Shift Electrical Technician . Instead of fixing the same machine on the same line every day, you will take ownership of a diverse automation platform—diagnosing 480V power, VFDs, servos, PLCs, robotics, and safety circuits across freezing, cooking, and high-speed packaging lines. Core Responsibilities Troubleshoot and repair 480V 3-phase electrical equipment, motor controls, variable frequency drives (VFDs), and servo systems. Diagnose PLC I/O, ladder logic, and HMI faults using Allen-Bradley and Siemens platforms. Perform root-cause troubleshooting on robotics (ABB, Fanuc), instrumentation, sensors, and machine-safety circuits. Conduct preventive maintenance, trace electrical schematics, update drawings, and identify critical spare parts. Support capital equipment projects, contractor activities, and continuous process improvements.

Qualifications Experience:

3+ years of hands-on industrial electrical maintenance experience (food, beverage, or automated high-speed processing strongly preferred).

Technical Skills:

Proven ability to troubleshoot 480V power systems, VFDs, motor controls, and PLCs independently.

Credentials:

A New Jersey electrical license, journeyman card, or apprentice registration is a plus (not required).

Schedule Flexibility:

Comfortable with a 6:00 AM start time and occasional overtime coverage when plant needs arise. Why Apply?

Competitive Compensation:

$25-$40/hour dependent on experience.

Comprehensive Benefits Package:

Medical, vision, dental, PTO, and retirement options.

Consistent Work Schedule:

Day-shift schedule (M-F) with an established, stable company that is actively growing.

Skill Advancement:

Deepen your controls, PLC, and robotics exposure in a modern, sustainability-minded production facility. To apply or learn more, contact Ed Abraham at gpac: ed.abraham@gogpac.com | (563) 286-8216
