Electrical Technician Full‑time, fixed‑term contract (3-6 months) Not your typical panel shop At Smarter Alloys, you won’t be building the same control panel over and over. We develop advanced devices ranging from precision medical components to large‑scale clean energy systems. We’re looking for an Electrical Technician to support the assembly, wiring, modification, and testing of electrical control panels and equipment.
You’ll work from electrical drawings and schematics, collaborate closely with our engineering team, and help ensure our systems are built in accordance with applicable CSA and ESA requirements. One week you may be assembling a new control panel from the ground up, and the next you may be modifying existing equipment, troubleshooting wiring, or helping select components for a recent design. If you enjoy hands‑on electrical work, solving practical problems, and working on a wide variety of equipment, this is that kind of role.
