Industrial Electrician jobs in Toronto, ON

About the role

Pangeo Group is building an aluminum die casting and machining plant in Vaughan, Ontario, our first die casting operation in North America. As an Industrial Electrician, you will keep our high-pressure die casting cells, robotic automation, furnaces and plant power distribution running safely and reliably. You will also help build the plant’s electrical maintenance function from the ground up.

Working closely with the Maintenance Manager and engineers from our sister facility, you will install, wire and commission new equipment and learn each machine’s control sequences so the plant can run independently once the launch team leaves. You will also set up LOTO procedures, preventive maintenance plans and critical spares, and serve as a key first responder when production is down.

Key responsibilities

Installation, commissioning and knowledge transfer

• Work with installation technicians and engineers from Pangeo’s sister facility to install, wire, test nd commission new die casting cells and auxiliary equipment.

• Perform machine wiring, grounding/bonding, I/O loop checks, motor rotation checks and start-up testing; support hookups to the plant’s 600V/480V/208V distribution.
• Audit, verify, and help translate/standardize electrical schematics, wire labels, and panel documentation against actual machine wiring to build accurate English "as-built" archives.
• Support ESA inspections and Pre-Start Health and Safety Reviews (PSRs).
• Help build the electrical maintenance program: LOTO placards, PM checklists, PLC/drive backups and critical spares lists.

Electrical maintenance and reliability

• Perform preventive, predictive and corrective maintenance on machinery and power distribution up to 600V, including motors, VFDs, servo drives and MCCs.
• Read North American and IEC schematics, hydraulic/pneumatic diagrams and PLC logic to find root causes quickly.
• Assist with electrical troubleshooting of aluminum melting and holding furnaces, combustion-control interfaces, temperature instrumentation, and associated auxiliary systems
• Carry out thermal imaging, motor current and insulation resistance checks.
• Record commissioning baselines, faults, fixes and replacements in the CMMS.

Safety and compliance

• Follow OHSA, the Ontario Electrical Safety Code, CSA Z462 arc-flash requirements and company procedures; apply LOTO and test-before-touch on every task.
