Low Voltage Electrician

About the role

The volume of low-voltage wiring, cable management, and structured cabling work at JonnyPops' Elk River facility has grown significantly, necessitating the in-house capability to perform these tasks. This role will bring low-voltage and cable installation capability in-house, working directly under the Master Electrician to self-perform work previously contracted out.

Responsibilities

• Pull, route, and terminate low-voltage cabling including Cat5e/Cat6 network cable, control wiring, sensor leads, and communication cables throughout the facility.
• Install conduit, cable trays, J-hooks, and raceways in support of structured cabling infrastructure and production equipment installations.
• Terminate, label, and test all cable runs to confirm signal integrity and proper connection prior to sign-off.
• Support installation and connection of vision system cameras, sensors, and associated low-voltage infrastructure on production lines.
• Avoid performing higher-voltage tasks as directed and within the scope of your license and qualifications.
• Maintain exceptionally neat and organized cable runs at all times — properly bundled, tied, labeled, and routed with consistent bend radii and professional appearance.
• Keep all work areas, panels, and electrical rooms clean, organized, and fully restored at the conclusion of every task — no exceptions.
• Maintain the electrical shop and tool storage in a state of continuous readiness — tools returned, consumables restocked, and workspace cleared after every job.
• Apply consistent labeling standards to all cables, panels, and termination points; update as-built documentation in the CMMS (Fiix) after every installation or modification.
• Complete work orders in Fiix accurately and on time — including job notes, materials used, time logged, and before/after documentation.
• Support the preventive maintenance program for low-voltage systems — inspecting connections, checking terminations, and flagging any degradation before it becomes a failure.
• Assist the broader Maintenance & Engineering team with general facility tasks during periods of low electrical demand.
• Follow all OSHA, NFPA 70E, and JonnyPops safety protocols — including lockout/tagout (LOTO) procedures — without exception on every task.
• Perform all work in compliance with JonnyPops GMP standards — using food-safe materials and methods in production areas and fully cleaning up after every task in or adjacent to production zones.
• Proactively identify and report unsafe conditions, damaged cables, or improperly secured equipment to the Master Electrician immediately.

Requirements

• 1–3 years of hands-on experience in low-voltage cabling, structured cabling installation, or electrical support work in a commercial or industrial environment.
• Demonstrated proficiency pulling, routing, terminating, and testing Cat5e/Cat6, control cable, and sensor wiring.
• An obsessive attention to neatness, labeling, and organization — you take personal pride in the appearance and quality of your work, and it shows in every install.
• Understanding of basic electrical safety, LOTO procedures, and OSHA general industry standards.
• Ability to read basic wiring diagrams and cabling schematics.
• Self-motivated, reliable, and comfortable working independently or alongside a skilled trades team in a fast-paced manufacturing environment.
• Familiarity with GMP or food manufacturing environments preferred; willingness to learn and follow food-safety protocols required.
• Minnesota Apprentice Electrician registration or active enrollment in an apprenticeship program.
• BICSI Installer or equivalent structured cabling certification.
• Experience with vision system or sensor cabling in an industrial or manufacturing setting.
• CMMS experience (Fiix or similar) for work order documentation.
• Bilingual (English/Spanish) — a plus given the multilingual team environment on the production floor.

Qualifications

• Primarily on-site at the Elk River manufacturing facility.
• Regularly required to stand, walk, climb ladders, work overhead, crawl in tight spaces, and lift up to 50 lbs.
• Works in variable temperature environments (production areas range from ambient to freezing); exposure to industrial noise and machinery.
• PPE required per task; arc flash PPE as directed by the Master Electrician when working near energized equipment.

Benefits

• Medical, Dental, and Vision Insurance
• HSA, FSA, and DCFSA
• Life & AD&D Insurance | Short & Long Term Disability
• Flexible Time Off (FTO) / PTO + Paid Holidays + Sick & Safe Leave
• 401(k)
