Overview
Commercial builds and supports vehicles for essential sectors such as fire, utility, towing, municipalities and more. We rely every day on our production team members, such as our Electrical Technicians, to assemble vehicles for these vital customers. We’re looking for an Automotive Electrical Technician to join the Commercial team at our Delta branch and undertake the important work of electrical install and assembly for the vehicles we produce.
The successful candidate will have strong knowledge and familiarity with 12V electrical systems, electrical theory, and be mechanically inclined with the ability to read schematics, plans, and operate the tools needed to install and troubleshoot low voltage systems.
Employees that have been successful for us have come from broad and varied backgrounds including marine, light automotive, automotive aftermarket, aviation, aerospace, access control and networking, manufacturing, and heavy equipment, but they all share a few common traits: They’re curious, accountable, responsible, and independent logical thinkers with strong problem-solving and troubleshooting ability. They’re technically savvy, and they can communicate politely and professionally with clients, engineering, parts, and procurement. We encourage all candidates with interest and direct or adjacent knowledge and experience to apply, including recent graduates.
