Electro Cables, a Nexans company, is growing and is currently seeking an experienced Industrial Journeyperson Electrician to join our team in Trenton, Ontario.

This posting is for an existing vacancy.

The Industrial Journeyperson Electrician will play an important role in supporting our manufacturing operations by maintaining, troubleshooting, and repairing industrial electrical systems, production equipment, and automated machinery. The successful candidate will work with industrial electrical controls, PLCs, and automation systems to support equipment reliability, minimize production downtime, and ensure safe and efficient manufacturing operations.

Work Location & Flexibility
Electro Cables operates two manufacturing facilities in Trenton, Ontario. The successful candidate may be assigned to either facility depending on operational requirements. Flexibility to work at either facility will be required to support business and production needs.

The specific shift schedule, including the frequency of midnight assignments, will be determined by business and operational needs. Occasional overtime may also be required to support production demands, equipment troubleshooting, and maintenance activities.
