Industrial Maintenance Electrician (PLC & Controls)

A day in the life in West Finley, PA

You arrive on site, review the maintenance log, and head straight to a line that tripped overnight. A quick diagnostic on the PLC uncovers a sensor misread—reprogram, validate, restore. Next up: a mechanical alignment on a motor coupling, followed by documenting the repair and coaching an apprentice through safe lockout/tagout.
