Industrial Electrician

About Us At Intramotev, we are dedicated to revolutionizing the freight industry by liberating tons of freight from congested highways, reducing carbon emissions, and enhancing transportation efficiency. We are deploying self-propelled battery-electric railcars and vehicles to transform freight logistics and bring innovation to our rail network. Based in St. Louis, MO, we are committed to promoting industrial revitalization, saving lives, and minimizing the environmental impact of trucking/transportation. We actively foster a work environment for every teammate that's welcoming, respectful and inclusive, with great opportunities for professional growth. Find your future with us. Role Overview We are seeking a skilled Industrial Electrician to build and wire the industrial control panels and cabinets that run Intramotev's self-propelled battery-electric railcars and vehicles and the test equipment behind them. The center of gravity for this role is in-shop panel and cabinet build-to-print — assembling backplanes to layout drawings; wiring relay-logic, contactor, and motor-starter control circuits to electrical schematics and wire run lists; terminating terminal blocks; and function-testing finished panels against the print — with occasional on-site install, commissioning, and troubleshooting support as a secondary duty. This role builds and wires to print; controls engineering owns the logic, so the work does not involve PLC programming. You'll work as a hands-on, mid-level technician on the shop floor within our Engineering/Manufacturing organization. This is a full-time, 100% in-office role based in St. Louis, MO. You'll work within a team of 3–10 engineers and technicians and engage in occasional domestic travel (roughly 10%) to support those field activities. Key Responsibilities Panel & Cabinet Build: Assemble control-panel and cabinet backplanes to panel layout and general-arrangement drawings, mounting DIN-rail breakers, ice-cube relays, contactors, motor starters, and terminal blocks per the print. Control Wiring: Wire relay-logic, contactor, and motor-starter control circuits to electrical schematics and wire run lists, with crimped ferrules, labeled conductors, and clean wire-duct dress. Termination & Dress: Terminate terminal blocks and field connections, route and lace control wiring, and finish each panel to UL 508A-style workmanship standards. Continuity & Function Test: Verify finished panels with continuity, point-to-point, and function checks against the print, confirming every circuit matches the schematic before the panel ships. Install & Commissioning Support: Provide occasional on-site install, commissioning, and troubleshooting support for fielded panels at customer sites. Cross-Functional Collaboration: Work closely with controls and production engineering to provide feedback on panel layout, wire routing, and manufacturability. Documentation: Maintain detailed records of as-built wiring, redlines, and panel modifications. Compensation & Benefits Hourly pay: $26–$32 per hour (full-time, non-exempt) Intramotev offers a comprehensive benefits package for all team members, including: Medical coverage: We cover 100% of employee medical premiums, plus low-cost dental and vision options. Vacation: Hourly employees accrue paid time off and receive paid company holidays. Parental leave: New parents receive paid time off to spend quality time with their family. About You: Basic Qualifications (Required Skills/Experience) 3+ years building and wiring industrial control panels and cabinets, or equivalent control-wiring work on vehicles, machinery, or heavy industrial equipment. Demonstrated proficiency reading and interpreting electrical schematics, panel layout / general-arrangement drawings, and wire run lists, and building to them. Hands-on relay-logic, contactor, and motor-starter control wiring, including terminal-block termination, crimping and ferrules, and clean wire-duct dress. Experience with fabrication tools, shop equipment, and electrical diagnostic equipment, including continuity, function, and point-to-point checks against the print. Willingness to learn new systems and take on tasks beyond your immediate area of expertise. Open-minded and comfortable working as a hands-on individual contributor in a small-team shop environment. Willingness to travel domestically on occasion (roughly 10%) for on-site install, commissioning, and troubleshooting support. Fluent in both written and verbal English. U.S. Person (immigration or work visa sponsorship will not be provided). Preferred Qualifications (Desired Skills/Experience) Candidate should have a working knowledge of one or (ideally) multiple areas listed below: Panel build to UL 508A (industrial control panels) or equivalent workmanship standards. Motor control experience — 3-phase power, variable frequency drives (VFDs) or soft starters, and motor protection. Experience with Electric Vehicle (EV) powertrains or high-voltage battery management systems (BMS) — our railcars are battery-electric vehicles, so EV experience translates directly. Familiarity with industrial communication protocols such as CAN bus. Technical degree or certification in Electrical Systems, Industrial Maintenance, or a related field. Typical Education and Experience Education and experience are typically acquired through technical education and 3 or more years' related work experience, or an equivalent combination of technical education and experience. Relocation This position offers a competitive relocation package based on candidate eligibility. Equal Opportunity Employer Intramotev is an Equal Opportunity Employer.
