Location: Littleton, CO | Pay Range: $22 - $27 / hour

Craft the Future of Building Automation

Since 1983, Setpoint Systems Corporation has been at the forefront of intelligent building controls. We are currently in a phase of rapid expansion, and our specialized Panel Shop is the heartbeat of our operation. We are looking for a motivated, detail-obsessed Panel Fabrication Technician to join our high-energy team.

This is a role for a maker—someone who takes pride in turning a complex schematic into a perfectly organized, high-performance piece of hardware. At Setpoint, we don't just "build boxes"; we create the brains of award-winning HVAC and automation systems. If you are a proactive professional who thrives on precision and wants to see your work power major commercial and industrial landmarks, this is the place for you.

The Mission: Precision, Craftsmanship, and Safety

Operating out of our Littleton facility, you will be responsible for the end-to-end assembly of custom electrical control panels that meet elite industry standards.

Core Responsibilities

• Blueprint Interpretation: Read and master complex electrical schematics and panel layouts to determine exact component placement.
• Mechanical Assembly: Expertly mount PLCs, relays, terminal blocks, circuit breakers, and power supplies into enclosures.
• Precision Wiring: Execute complex point-to-point wiring with a focus on neat routing, correct color-coding, and secure connections.
• Light Fabrication: Utilize power tools, punches, and saws to modify enclosures and mounting plates with surgical accuracy.
• Rigorous Testing: Conduct continuity checks and power-up testing to ensure every panel is 100% functional and compliant with the Bill of Materials (BOM) before it leaves the shop.
• Standards & Compliance: Build every panel to UL 508A and NEC (NFPA 70) standards, ensuring the highest level of safety and reliability.

Who You Are: The Motivated Builder

• The Perfectionist: You have a "steadfast commitment" to neatness and standardized workmanship. You believe the inside of a panel should look as good as the outside.
• The Problem-Solver: You are proactive and resourceful, identifying potential layout issues before the first wire is cut.
• The Team Player: You communicate inventory needs and progress clearly to the Shop Lead to keep our high-speed production line moving.

Required Skills & Qualifications

• Education: High School Diploma or GED required; technical certification or an Associate’s degree in Electrical Technology is highly preferred.
• Experience: 1–3 years of documented experience building industrial electrical control panels or complex assemblies.
• Tool Mastery: Expert use of multimeters, torque wrenches, crimpers, and wire strippers.
• Technical Literacy: Proven ability to interpret complex electrical schematics and Bills of Materials (BOMs).

Physical Demands & Environment

• Grit & Agility: Ability to stand, bend, and move for extended periods and lift components weighing up to 50 pounds.
• Dexterity: High manual dexterity is required for intricate wiring and component assembly.
• The Shop: Work is performed in our well-lit, climate-controlled panel shop—a professional environment designed for high-quality production.
