We’re looking for an experienced Electrical Technician to support a large industrial manufacturing facility in Carrollton, GA. This is a hands-on troubleshooting role focused entirely on electrical systems, controls, and PLC-driven equipment.
This position is a great fit for someone who is comfortable responding to equipment breakdowns, connecting to PLCs with a laptop, reviewing logic to identify the source of a problem, and getting production equipment back up and running.
This is not a PLC programming position. The focus is on using existing PLC programs to troubleshoot equipment and making minor logic changes when needed.
What You’ll Do
- Respond to electrical and controls-related equipment breakdowns throughout the facility
- Connect to PLCs using a laptop via Ethernet or wireless connection
- Troubleshoot Siemens and Allen-Bradley PLCs, with approximately 80% of the facility utilizing Siemens
- Review PLC logic to identify root causes of equipment issues
- Perform control circuit troubleshooting
- Troubleshoot and replace drives and download/configure replacement drives
- Make minor PLC logic changes when necessary
- Work directly with the shift supervisor to prioritize breakdown calls and outstanding work orders
- Independently troubleshoot assigned equipment and work orders
- Partner with the maintenance team to keep production equipment running efficiently
The role is 100% electrical/PLC-focused. Dedicated mechanical technicians handle mechanical maintenance issues.
What We’re Looking For
- Previous Electrical Technician, Controls Technician, or similar industrial maintenance experience
- Must have experience working in an industrial manufacturing environment
- Hands-on experience troubleshooting PLC-controlled equipment
- Experience connecting to and navigating Siemens and/or Allen-Bradley PLCs
- Ability to read and understand PLC logic for troubleshooting purposes
- Experience troubleshooting electrical/control circuits
- Experience working with drives/VFDs
- Comfortable independently troubleshooting equipment breakdowns
- Strong problem-solving skills and ability to identify root causes of equipment failures
