Manufacturing Electrical Maintenance Specialist

Keep critical manufacturing moving

At Pactiv Evergreen Inc., part of Novolex, your expertise powers essential packaging that serves millions. In this role, you’ll rotate through 12-hour shifts and support Shift Mechanics in Thermoforming and Extrusion — stepping in as the subject-matter expert on both electrical and mechanical systems, especially during off-hours.

Imagine this scenario

A conveyor stalls at 2 a.m. You lock out the system, review the schematic, isolate a motor fault with a megger, swap the component, verify a 480V, 3-phase connection, and bring the line back in spec — all while documenting the work and briefing the supervisor. If that sounds like your kind of challenge, you’ll thrive here.

• Use precision measurement devices plus ammeters, ohmmeters, voltmeters, test lamps, and meggers to isolate defects.
• Disassemble, repair/replace parts, maintain and adjust motors, pumps, conveyors, belts, and fans; clean and lubricate as needed.
• Ensure compliance with OEM requirements and safety codes; inspect completed repairs.
• Operate equipment required to perform the job; requisition parts; keep the area clean and organized.
• Communicate status and issues to production supervisors, maintenance leads, acting supervisors, or maintenance supervisors; assist as needed with related duties.

Qualifications

• 5+ years of Industrial Electrician experience.
• High school diploma or GED; technical school preferred.
