Why Join Clemens Food Group?
Are you the kind of technician who enjoys figuring out why a machine stopped working, digging into electrical problems, and getting automated equipment running again?
At Clemens Food Group, we're looking for anIndustrial Equipment Technicianwho enjoys working with industrial equipment, electrical controls, motors, drives, and automation systems.
This isn't just about replacing parts or responding to maintenance calls. It's about understanding how equipment operates, diagnosing the root cause of problems, and keeping production running safely and efficiently.
If you enjoy hands-on troubleshooting, working with industrial electronics, and solving challenging equipment problems, this could be a great fit.
The Impact You'll Make
As anIndustrial Equipment Technician, you'll play a critical role in keeping our manufacturing equipment operating safely and reliably.
Your technical expertise will help us:
Reduce unplanned downtime by diagnosing and resolving electrical and equipment failures.
Improve the reliability and performance of automated manufacturing equipment.
Identify recurring equipment problems and recommend lasting solutions.
Support production teams by responding to equipment issues and restoring operations safely.
Maintain the electrical controls, motors, drives, sensors, and automation systems that keep our facility running.
Your work will have a direct impact on equipment performance, production efficiency, and overall operational reliability.
What You'll Do
Troubleshoot Industrial Equipment & Electrical Systems
Diagnose, troubleshoot, and repair electrical and electronic problems on automated manufacturing equipment.
Work with AC/DC electrical systems, including single-phase and three-phase motors, wiring, and power distribution.
Troubleshoot motors, variable frequency drives (VFDs), servo drives, transformers, power supplies, and motor control circuits.
Identify failed electrical components and select appropriate replacements based on equipment requirements.
Use electrical schematics, wiring diagrams, equipment manuals, and diagnostic tools to isolate equipment failures.
Perform electrical testing using multimeters, clamp meters, insulation-resistance testers, and other approved testing equipment.
Work with PLCs, Controls & Industrial Automation
Troubleshoot PLC-controlled manufacturing equipment using diagnostic tools, input/output status, alarms, and equipment operating sequences.
Diagnose issues involving human-machine interfaces (HMIs), sensors, switches, encoders, solenoids, and other automation components.
Troubleshoot industrial control circuits, including 24 VDC, 0 10 VDC, 4 20 mA, and PNP/NPN sensing applications.
Identify communication issues between PLCs, HMIs, drives, remote I/O, and other industrial automation devices.
Support PLC, HMI, and drive configuration or programming changes using established procedures.
Maintain, Repair & Improve Equipment
Perform preventive and corrective electrical maintenance on production equipment.
Install, wire, test, and replace motors, drives, electrical controls, and related components.
Troubleshoot machine safety systems, including emergency stops, interlocks, safety relays, and protective devices.
Assist with equipment installations, modifications, commissioning, and startups.
Document electrical repairs, wiring changes, and equipment troubleshooting activities.
Partner with maintenance, production, and engineering teams to identify recurring failures and improve equipment reliability.
What Makes This Role Exciting?
You're working with more than basic electrical maintenance.
You'll have the opportunity to troubleshoot the electrical, electronic, and automation systems that power modern manufacturing equipment.
Every day brings a different technical challenge.
One day you might be diagnosing a motor or drive issue. The next, you could be tracking down a faulty sensor, investigating a PLC input, or troubleshooting a control circuit that's preventing equipment from operating.
Your troubleshooting skills matter.
We're looking for someone who wants to understand why equipment failed not simply replace a component and move on.
You'll work across multiple technologies.
From industrial motors and electrical controls to PLCs, HMIs, sensors, instrumentation, and automated equipment, this role offers a broad range of hands-on technical work.
What We're Looking For
We're interested in candidates with a strong foundation in industrial electrical systems, electronics, and equipment troubleshooting.
Technical Experience & Qualifications
Experience troubleshooting and repairing industrial electrical systems and manufacturing equipment.
Working knowledge of AC/DC circuits, single-phase and three-phase power, motor wiring, and electrical controls.
Experience diagnosing electrical issues involving motors, drives, sensors, switches, and control circuits.
Ability to read and interpret electrical schematics, wiring diagrams, and technical documentation.
Familiarity with PLC-controlled equipment and industrial automation systems.
Experience using electrical testing equipment to diagnose faults safely and accurately.
Understanding of electrical safety practices, lockout/tagout procedures, and industrial electrical standards.
Technical education, apprenticeship training, military technical training, or relevant hands-on industrial experience.
Additional Experience That Would Be Valuable
PLC and HMI programming or advanced troubleshooting.
Experience with VFDs, servo systems, and industrial motor controls.
Troubleshooting analog and digital control signals, including 0 10 VDC, 4 20 mA, and PNP/NPN sensors.
Industrial Ethernet communication and network troubleshooting.
Experience with machine safety circuits, safety PLCs, and protective devices.
Electrical installation experience involving conduit, control panels, and industrial equipment.
Experience with SAP or computerized maintenance management systems.
Experience in high-volume or automated manufacturing environments.
Skills & Mindset
Beyond technical ability, we're looking for someone who approaches equipment problems with curiosity, ownership, and a commitment to safety.
You'll be successful in this role if you:
Enjoy solving complex problems:You like investigating equipment failures, asking questions, and finding the actual cause of an issue.
Think logically and systematically:You use schematics, testing equipment, and technical information to guide troubleshooting rather than guessing.
Take ownership:You follow through on repairs and care about ensuring equipment operates reliably.
Stay calm under pressure:You can prioritize troubleshooting activities when production equipment goes down.
Value safety:You understand the importance of electrical safety, proper procedures, and protecting yourself and others.
Work well with others:You communicate effectively with maintenance technicians, operators, and engineering teams.
Keep learning:You're interested in developing your knowledge of industrial electronics, automation, and equipment controls.
Your Future at Clemens Food Group
This role provides the opportunity to apply and expand your technical knowledge across industrial electrical systems, electronics, and automated manufacturing equipment.
You'll gain exposure to a wide range of equipment and troubleshooting challenges while contributing to improvements in equipment reliability and production performance.
Whether your background is in industrial electrical maintenance, electronics, mechatronics, or automation, we're interested in the technical experience and problem-solving skills you can bring to our team.
