About the role

The Electrical Installation Lead – Low Voltage Devices & Controls drives the successful installation, configuration, and validation of field devices and low-voltage control systems for automation and material handling equipment across multiple greenfield and brownfield fulfillment center sites.

Key job responsibilities

  • Device Installation Leadership
    • Lead and manage electrical installation crews focused on low-voltage device installation and configuration for MHE systems across North American facilities
    • Direct installation of field devices including photo eyes, proximity sensors, encoders, limit switches, E-stop devices, pull cords, safety devices, and barcode scanners
    • Oversee VFD installation, mounting, power connections, and control wiring
    • Manage I/O block installation, wiring, and terminal connections per I/O lists and wiring diagrams
    • Direct installation of zone controllers, actuators, operator stations, and stack lights
    • Oversee E-stop cable system installation including cable runs, tensioning, I-bolt and pulley placement, and pull cord routing
    • Manage sensor mounting, orientation, and alignment to ensure proper detection coverage
    • Direct 24VDC control circuit wiring, device terminations, and panel-to-device connections
    • Oversee fieldbus and industrial communication cabling installation (Ethernet/IP, Profinet, EtherCAT, AS-i) with attention to routing, labeling, addressing, and termination quality
  • Configuration, Commissioning Readiness & QC
    • Manage parameter setting and programming for all field devices including dip switches, photo eye training, sensor calibration, and VFD configuration
    • Oversee match-mark cable connections to verify correct device-to-panel wiring
    • Lead electrical QC activities including I/O verification — checking for shorts, breaks, stretched wires, and confirming wire labels match drawings
    • Manage E-stop system testing and verification across all installed zones
    • Verify sensor functionality, detection ranges, and operational parameters before handoff to controls commissioning
    • Oversee side cover installation on completed conveyor sections
    • Manage electrical device punchlist identification and repair
    • Partner with controls commissioning team to validate system readiness for energization
    • Ensure cable management, wire labeling, and device labeling meet standards before zone closeout
  • Technical Leadership & Standards
    • Provide technical expertise for low-voltage control systems, 24VDC circuits, field devices, and industrial communication networks
    • Review and interpret device layout drawings, I/O lists, wiring diagrams, control panel drawings, and fieldbus addressing schedules
    • Follow and help develop device installation standards and best practices
    • Create and maintain technical documentation including device installation SOPs, configuration checklists, and QC verification procedures
    • Identify, troubleshoot, and resolve device installation issues that may impact commissioning readiness or system functionality
    • Support development of scalable installation practices and field standards across multiple sites
    • Recommend and implement process improvements to increase device installation efficiency and first-pass quality
  • Cordination & Communication
    • Cookordinate device installation activities with power distribution teams, mechanical installation, controls engineering, IT/network teams, and vendors
    • Manage zone sequencing with the Power Distribution & Infrastructure lead — device installation begins once conduit, panels, and wire are in place
    • Cookordinate with controls commissioning on energization readiness, I/O verification results, and open items
    • Track device installation progress, risks, blockers, and quality issues, escalating when support is needed
    • Participate in project-level technical reviews, installation readiness reviews, and commissioning readiness reviews
    • Cookordinate relationships with device vendors, OEMs, integrators, and internal project stakeholders
    • Participate in daily business reviews with installation progress and commissioning readiness updates
    • Maintain accurate field documentation including punch lists, issue logs, QC observations, and turnover documentation
