Industrial Electrician (442A / 309A)

About the role

Kellow Recruiting is partnering with an established Canadian automotive metal-stamping manufacturer in Markham to recruit an experienced, hands-on Industrial Electrician.

This is an excellent opportunity for someone who enjoys troubleshooting complex machinery, solving problems and working in a fast-paced manufacturing environment where their skills make a direct impact.

You'll be joining a well-established operation with a diverse range of industrial equipment, advanced stamping technologies and in-house manufacturing capabilities.

The Manufacturing Environment

This is not a position focused on maintaining just one type of equipment. You'll have the opportunity to work across a variety of machinery and manufacturing processes, including:

• Industrial stamping presses ranging from 105 to 1,000 tons, including high-speed and large transfer presses.
• Progressive and transfer-die stamping operations.
• Automated press systems, feeders, conveyors and material-handling equipment.
• Electrical control systems, motors, drives, sensors and PLC-controlled machinery.
• In-house tool-and-die operations, machining, grinding and welding equipment.
• Secondary manufacturing and assembly processes.
• Additional manufacturing technologies, including injection moulding.

You'll work closely with production, maintenance and tooling teams to keep equipment running efficiently, minimize downtime and support ongoing improvements.

If you're a licensed electrician who enjoys hands-on troubleshooting, variety in your work and the satisfaction of keeping production running, we'd welcome the opportunity to speak with you.

Benefits

• $38–$42 per hour, depending on experience.
• Permanent, full-time employment with an established manufacturer.
• Extended health, dental and life insurance benefits.
• Exposure to a wide variety of industrial equipment and manufacturing technologies.
• A hands-on role with meaningful responsibility and opportunities to develop your technical skills.
• The satisfaction of solving real problems and making a direct contribution to production.

Responsibilities

• Troubleshoot, diagnose and repair electrical faults on stamping presses and other production machinery.
• Perform preventive and corrective maintenance to minimize equipment downtime.
• Diagnose issues involving motors, drives, sensors, relays, contactors and industrial electrical systems.
• Troubleshoot PLC-controlled equipment using electrical schematics and diagnostic tools.
• Maintain and repair automated production equipment, conveyors and material-handling systems.
• Support equipment installations, upgrades and continuous improvement initiatives.
• Work closely with production, maintenance and tooling teams to resolve equipment issues.
• Maintain accurate maintenance records and follow electrical safety and lockout/tagout procedures.

Requirements

• Valid Ontario 442A Industrial Electrician or 309A Construction and Maintenance Electrician licence.
• Minimum 3 years of industrial electrical maintenance experience preferred.
• Strong hands-on electrical troubleshooting skills in a manufacturing environment.
• Ability to read and interpret electrical drawings, schematics and equipment manuals.
• Experience with motors, motor controls, sensors, drives and industrial electrical systems.
• Practical experience troubleshooting PLC-controlled equipment.
• Familiarity with hydraulic and pneumatic systems.
• Ability to work independently, prioritize repairs and communicate effectively with production teams.

Experience That Would Be an Asset

• Automotive metal stamping, progressive-die presses or metal fabrication.
• Electrical maintenance of mechanical or servo-driven stamping presses.
• Allen-Bradley / Rockwell PLC troubleshooting.
• Experience with press feeders, straighteners, conveyors and industrial automation.
