Electrical technican

Summary The Junior Electrical Technician will assist in the daily electrical maintenance, inspection, and troubleshooting of production machinery and plant auxiliary systems. Working under the guidance of senior technicians and engineering managers, the candidate will undergo structured on-the-job training to learn high-speed manufacturing automation, power distribution, and machine-specific electrical diagnostics.

This is an entry-level role ideal for a motivated fresh technical graduate looking to build a hands-on career in industrial automation and manufacturing.

Responsibilities

1. Basic Electrical Maintenance & Support Assist in performing routine preventive maintenance (PM) on production machinery, electrical panels, and auxiliary equipment (chillers, compressors, cooling towers). Perform basic wiring, component replacements (relays, contactors, fuses, switches), and panel upkeep. Inspect and test electrical heating systems, including heater bands, thermocouples, and solid-state relays (SSRs).
2. Learning & Troubleshooting Learn to trace electrical schematics and control diagrams to identify wiring and component faults. Use digital multimeters and testing equipment to check voltage, continuity, resistance, and motor status. Shadow senior technicians during machine breakdowns to learn systematic troubleshooting techniques on motors, drives, and PLC I/O systems.
3. Safety & Operations Follow strict industrial safety standards, including Lockout/Tagout (LOTO) procedures, safety interlocks, and personal protective equipment (PPE) guidelines. Maintain clean and organized electrical work areas and control cabinets. Log completed maintenance tasks and share clear daily handover notes with incoming shift technicians.

Requirements

Technical Diploma (BT / TS / LT) or Vocational Degree in Electrical, Industrial Electronics, or Automation Engineering. Experience: Fresh graduate (0–1 years of industrial experience). Technical Fundamentals: Solid understanding of basic electrical principles (Ohm’s law, AC/DC power, three-phase circuits). Familiarity with standard electrical hand tools and digital multimeters.

Ability to read basic electrical line diagrams and symbols. Key Traits: Strong willingness to learn and accept hands-on training. High safety consciousness around high-voltage equipment and machinery. Strong problem-solving attitude and attention to detail.
