Meyers Electric is hiring a Controls Electrician to join our team in Rice Lake, WI. This role goes beyond running conduit and pulling wire — you’ll work on the systems that automate and regulate industrial equipment: PLCs, motor controls, drives, sensors, and the logic that ties them together. If you enjoy troubleshooting automated machinery and process control systems from the ground up, we want to hear from you.

What You’ll Do

Install, wire, program, and troubleshoot control systems for industrial machinery and process control applications.
Work with PLCs — read and edit ladder logic, diagnose faults, and bring automated sequences back online.
Set up, program, and troubleshoot variable frequency drives (VFDs) and motor control circuits.
Wire and calibrate instrumentation — 4–20 mA loops, thermocouples, and pressure, level, and flow transmitters.
Read and interpret control schematics and ladder diagrams; build and modify control panels.
Configure HMIs and industrial networks (e.g., Ethernet/IP, Modbus) as needed.
Systematically isolate faults — determining whether an issue is mechanical, electrical, or in the program logic.

What We’re Looking For

PLC experience (required). Hands-on work with platforms such as Allen-Bradley/Rockwell, Siemens, or Automation Direct — including troubleshooting and, ideally, program edits.
Control schematics & ladder logic. Able to read and work from control diagrams, not just standard electrical prints.
VFDs & motor controls. Experience installing, programming, and troubleshooting drives that regulate motor speed.
Instrumentation. Comfortable wiring and calibrating industrial sensors and transmitters.
Networking / HMI (a plus). Familiarity with industrial protocols and operator touchscreen panels.
Troubleshooting mindset. A methodical, diagnostic approach to isolating problems across mechanical, electrical, and software layers.

Electrician license and a valid driver’s license required. Industrial/manufacturing or process-control experience strongly preferred.
