What You Will Contribute:

The Electrical Controls Technician 2 (ECT2) is an Electrician with expertise in industrial control applications and CAD based electrical drawing. Working in the municipal water and wastewater industry, the ECT 2 is responsible for surveying existing motor control cabinets and instrumentation, creating detailed electrical drawings of control panels and how they will integrate to the surveyed field equipment, as well as installing, wiring and starting up the completed panels. While this role does not involve programming PLCs, it does require a strong understanding of electrical systems, dry-contact control loops, 4-20mA analog signals and physically integrating equipment to PLCs. The ability to interpret technical specifications and requirements as well as document them is critical.

This role will be remote and will serve customers in the state of Texas, so a high amount of travel will be required. When not traveling you will work from home. You are provided with a company vehicle and specialized tools to perform in this role.

Collaborate with engineers, project managers, and other stakeholders to understand project objectives and requirements.
Review technical documents, blueprints, and specifications to ensure accuracy and compliance with industry standards and regulations.
Select appropriate electrical components, equipment, and materials when integration with control systems deviates from initial design.
Execute Product Acceptance Tests (PATs) on panels as there are produced, and work SCADA Controls Technicians (SCTs - PLC programmers) to resolve any issues discovered.
Assist installation crews as needed, with installation of panels and their enclosures.
Terminate wiring from field devices to control panels, and test operation. In some instances termination or modification may need to be performed on the field equipment as well.
Fully document the completion and startup of the panel at the customer’s location and update project drawings and documentation to an as-built status.
Advanced troubleshooting of network, digital and 4-20mA analog control and monitoring circuits, PLC automation and SCADA interfaces.
Serving as a team-leader and on-the-job trainer when paired with entry level Electrical Controls Technicians.

Job Requirements:* 3 + years of Controls Electrical Experience

Analog Sigal Handling experience required.
Strong experience as an industrial control electrician and electrical draftsperson in a public utility, manufacturing or other industrial environment.
Proficiency in CAD software (e.g., AutoCAD, BricsCAD) for creating electrical drawings and ladder-style schematics.

Strong knowledge of industry standards and regulations (e.g., NEC, NFPA) pertaining to electrical design and installation.
Excellent attention to detail and accuracy in creating and reviewing technical drawings and documentation.
Effective communication skills and the ability to collaborate with multidisciplinary teams.
Problem-solving abilities and the capacity to troubleshoot electrical issues and discrepancies in drawings.
Willingness to work flexible hours, overtime as needed and travel to various job sites as needed to meet project requirements and deadlines

Requirements:* High school diploma or equivalent
