We're looking for someone with strong electrical fundamentals, good troubleshooting instincts and a genuine interest in industrial equipment.

Ideally, you'll have:

• Red Seal Electrician certification with industrial experience
• Post-secondary technical or vocational training in electrical or electronics technology
• Strong electrical troubleshooting and diagnostic skills
• Experience with industrial electrical equipment and controls
• Knowledge of PLCs, motor drives and control systems
