Electrician

We are looking for an experienced Electrician who takes pride in keeping critical manufacturing equipment running at its best. As the primary electrician on second shift, you will own the electrical side of the operation. When equipment goes down, you will be the go-to expert who diagnoses the problem and gets production back on track. You will work alongside a skilled trades team that supports production across three shifts, and your work will directly impact equipment uptime, product quality, and the safety of the associates on the manufacturing floor. This role offers real ownership, broad hands-on experience with industrial controls and manufacturing systems, and the opportunity to grow your technical skills and lead troubleshooting efforts.

You will work four 10-hour shifts, Tuesday through Friday from 1:00 pm to 11:30 pm, which gives you a three-day weekend every week.

This role will be located at our facility in Elkton, Maryland.
