Responsibilities:

• Perform all Electrical and Instrumentation preventive and corrective maintenance in accordance with client Facilities standards, safety procedures, and OEM recommendations.
• Conduct 5-Year Infrared (IR) Scans on electrical panels, switchboards, MCCs, and equipment to identify temperature anomalies and early signs of failure.
• Visually inspect electrical equipment for physical damage, corrosion, contamination, loose connections, missing covers, and incorrect labeling.
• Verify that circuit schedules and panel labels match current as-built documentation and initiate updates where required.
• Capture and document both infrared and visual images of all IR exceptions and categorize findings per the clients thermal severity criteria.
• Generate and close Corrective Maintenance Work Orders (CMWOs) in CMMS for any identified deficiencies or exceptions.
• Record amperage, phase balance, and load conditions for each scanned panel, updating PM records and labor entries in CMMS.
• Ensure all corrective actions are completed and documented in accordance with the clients IR repair timelines and reporting matrix.
• Execute AFD/VFD inspections on all facility drive systems, verifying operational parameters, configuration settings, labeling, and enclosure condition.
• Check for signs of overheating, discoloration, vibration, or abnormal noise within VFD enclosures, and inspect internal components for cleanliness and integrity.
• Validate the operation of cabinet fans, heaters, and air-conditioning units by adjusting thermostats and confirming correct response.
• Verify and, if necessary, correct drive parameters per clients configuration standards.
• Inspect and clean air filters, grilles, and intake/exhaust paths, ensuring proper airflow and dust protection.
• STJ (Stop the Job) and escalate to engineering for any non-standard findings, abnormal readings, or internal filter installations.
• Document all VFD findings, operational readings, and corrective actions in CMMS, ensuring full traceability.
• Perform calibration and verification of instrumentation and control devices including temperature, humidity, pressure, level, and flow transmitters, and gas or chemical sensors.
• Calibrate sensors to manufacturer and client Facilities tolerances using traceable calibration equipment and standards.
• Document all calibration results, “as-found” and “as-left” data, and update calibration tags and records in CMMS.
• Verify proper signal transmission, scaling, and controller response after each calibration.
• Identify and report any damaged, drifting, or out-of-spec devices for replacement or engineering evaluation.
• Maintain calibration records, certificates, and traceability logs in accordance with site QA/QC and audit requirements.
• Ensure all electrical and instrumentation work is performed under safe conditions, following arc-flash labeling, PPE requirements, and LOTO procedures.
• Keep work areas clean, organized, and safe at all times, removing debris and securing tools and test equipment after completion.
• Communicate equipment health, abnormal readings, and potential system risks promptly to Operations and Engineering teams.
• Support continuous improvement by reporting recurring issues, recommending procedural enhancements, and contributing to lessons-learned documentation.
• Any other duties or responsibilities that may be assigned to you in your role.

Skills Required:

• We invite anyone who is entry level to those who have 3–10 years of experience in operations, maintenance, or technician roles in a semiconductor, manufacturing, or industrial facility, to apply.
• Strong knowledge of electrical and Instrumentation systems such as electrical panels, switchboards, MCCs & VFD's .
• Familiarity with maintenance procedures, preservation practices, and safe state verification.
• Ability to interpret and follow technical procedures, preservation checklists, and operational guidelines.
• Proficient in documenting activities and updating operational systems.
• Excellent troubleshooting and escalation skills in response to alarms, shutdowns, or equipment issues.
• Strong communication and teamwork skills for working with engineers, vendors, and site leadership.

Education / Licenses / Certifications

• High School Diploma or equivalent, required.
• Associate’s, Bachelor’s degree or technical diploma in Engineering, Electrical, or related field preferred, but not required.
• Relevant technical certifications (electrical, or instrumentation) are an advantage.
• Proof of education, licenses, and certifications will be required where applicable. 

Benefits:

• Medical, Dental and Vision Insurance 
• Life, Short-Term, Long-Term Disability Insurance 
• Training and Education Assistance 
• 401k Retirement Plan 
• Extra Annual Leave with Years of Service
