Electrician

The Electrician is an entry-level field position supporting the installation, termination, and power-up of the Automated Material Handling System (AMHS) overhead track within an active or under-construction semiconductor cleanroom. This role works under the direct supervision of the Electrical General Foreman / SME and alongside experienced journeyman electricians, learning the trade in one of the most disciplined and technically demanding environments in modern construction.
This is a hands-on learning role. The expectation is not that the electrician arrives with deep cleanroom or AMHS experience — the expectation is that they arrive coachable, safety-minded, physically capable, and willing to follow Muratec, NEC, and cleanroom protocols exactly as instructed. Skill is built on this project; attitude and discipline are required on day one.

The Electrician will assist the foreman and journeymen with the day-to-day execution of the following scope:

• Pulling, dressing, and labeling low-voltage controls, communication, and signal cabling (CAN bus, Ethernet/Profinet, fiber where applicable) between Muratec OHT/OHS track segments, controllers, and OCS interfaces.
• Installing and supporting cleanroom-compatible cable tray, conduit, and stainless hardware overhead along the AMHS track corridor.
• Material handling: staging, wipe-down, and transfer of approved cleanroom materials through the airlock to the work area.
• Assisting with megger testing, point-to-point continuity, and basic pre-energization checks under direct supervision.
• Maintaining a clean, organized, contamination-controlled work area at all times.

Key Responsibilities

Field Execution & Crew Support

• Report to the Electrical General Foreman / SME and assigned journeyman daily; follow direction precisely and ask questions before guessing.
• Participate in daily pre-task planning (PTP) meetings, JSAs, and stretch-and-flex; understand the day's scope, hazards, and quality expectations before entering the cleanroom.
• Perform low-voltage cable pulls, terminations, and dressing under journeyman supervision, with focus on neatness, labeling, and adherence to Muratec installation standards.
• Operate scissor lifts, articulating booms, and rolling scaffolds safely after certification — AMHS track work is overhead work, not floor work.
• Maintain accurate timekeeping, material usage, and daily production reporting to the foreman.
• Keep the work area clean, organized, and contamination-controlled throughout the shift; clean as you go, not at the end of the day.

Cleanroom Protocol & Contamination Control

• Follow gowning, glove, and tool-control protocols exactly as trained — every shift, every entry, no shortcuts.
• Wipe down all tools, materials, and consumables at the airlock per the site's contamination control plan (CCP) before bringing anything into the cleanroom.
• Use only cleanroom-approved tools, lubricants, tape, and consumables; if an item is not on the approved list, ask the foreman before using it.
• Understand that cutting, drilling, and cable pulling generate particles; coordinate with the foreman on containment, vacuuming, and sequencing of dirty work.
• Treat every entry into the cleanroom as a discipline test — the protocol does not relax because the work is routine.

Safety

• Follow NFPA 70E, OSHA, and site-specific safety requirements without exception; wear required PPE at all times.
• Comply with all Lockout/Tagout (LOTO) procedures; never bypass, share, or remove a lock that is not yours.
• Maintain three-point contact on all ladders and lifts; tie off when required; inspect fall protection daily before use.
• Practice slip/trip/fall awareness — keep cords, hoses, and material out of walkways; report and clean up spills and debris immediately.
• Stop work and notify the foreman whenever conditions feel unsafe — there is never a penalty for stopping work, and the crew will back the call.
• Report all near-misses, incidents, and injuries to the foreman immediately, no matter how minor.

Quality & Documentation

• Install, terminate, and dress every cable to Muratec specifications and the approved drawings — first time, every time.
• Support megger logs, continuity checks, and torque records as directed by the journeyman or foreman.
• Flag damaged material, suspect terminations, or drawing conflicts to the foreman immediately — never bury a quality issue or rework around it.

Learning & Development

• Approach this project as an apprenticeship in cleanroom and AMHS work; ask questions, take notes, and learn the why behind each protocol.
• Build proficiency with megger, multimeter, clamp meter, and basic cable testing tools under journeyman supervision.
• Demonstrate steady progression from supervised execution toward independent task ownership over the life of the project.

Experience

• Minimum 0–2 years of electrical experience; recent trade school graduates, registered electrical apprentices, and entry-level helpers with strong work ethic and basic electrical fundamentals will be considered.
• Basic familiarity with hand tools, power tools, and standard electrical materials (conduit, wire, terminations, labeling).
• No prior cleanroom or AMHS experience required, but preferred — if needed, site-specific training will be provided.

Licensing & Certifications

• OSHA 10 (Construction) — current, or willingness to complete on day one – NEED TO HAVE PRIOR TO APPLYING TO JOB,
• Scissor lift, aerial work platform (AWP), and basic fall protection certifications — required, or willingness to complete site training before working at heights.
• LOTO Authorized Person training — required, or willingness to complete site training.
• Cleanroom gowning certification — site-specific certification will be completed on day one.

Technical Skills

• Basic hand-tool and power-tool proficiency: hand benders, drills, drivers, wire strippers, crimpers, torque tools.
• Familiarity with megger, multimeter, and clamp meter at a beginner level; ability to learn proper use under journeyman supervision.
• Basic cable pulling, dressing, and labeling skills; understanding of bend radius, support spacing, and basic cable management practices.

Personal Attributes

• Coachable: takes direction, asks questions, and acts on feedback without ego.
• Reliable: shows up on time, every day, in full PPE and ready to work.
• Disciplined: follows cleanroom and safety protocols exactly, even when no one is watching.
• Detail-oriented: cares about clean labeling, neat dressing, and accurate work — not just getting it done.
• Team-first: supports the journeymen and foremen, helps the crew, and contributes to a safe, productive shift.

Preferred Qualifications

• Prior experience as a helper or apprentice on industrial, data center, semiconductor, or pharmaceutical cleanroom construction projects.
• Familiarity with low-voltage controls, communication cabling (Ethernet, fiber), or structured cabling work.

Physical Requirements & Working Conditions

• Ability to wear full cleanroom garments (bunny suit, hood, booties, double gloves, safety glasses, mask) for full shifts.
• Comfortable working at heights from scissor lifts, articulating booms, and rolling scaffolds — AMHS track work is overhead, all day.
