Job Title: Panel Builder

Overview: As a Panel Builder, you will be responsible for assembling, wiring, and testing electrical control panels used in various industrial applications. You will work closely with engineering teams to interpret electrical schematics and ensure that panels meet quality standards and regulatory requirements.

Key Responsibilities:

1. 
   

   Panel Assembly: Construct electrical control panels according to engineering drawings and specifications. This involves mounting components such as circuit breakers, relays, terminal blocks, and control devices onto back panels or enclosures.

   
   


2. 
   

   Wiring: Perform wiring tasks including routing cables, connecting wires to components, and labeling wires according to schematic diagrams. Ensure proper wire sizing, routing, and termination techniques are followed to maintain safety and reliability.

   
   


3. 
   

   Testing and Troubleshooting: Conduct functional tests on completed panels to verify proper operation and adherence to design requirements. Troubleshoot and resolve any issues identified during testing, which may involve diagnosing wiring errors, component failures, or compatibility issues.

   
   


4. 
   

   Quality Assurance: Maintain high standards of workmanship and quality control throughout the panel building process. Inspect finished panels for accuracy, completeness, and compliance with relevant standards and regulations.

   
   


5. 
   

   Documentation: Maintain accurate records of panel assembly and testing activities, including component lists, wiring diagrams, test results, and inspection reports. Ensure documentation is up-to-date and accessible for future reference.

   
   


6. 
   

   Collaboration: Work collaboratively with engineering, manufacturing, and quality assurance teams to ensure effective communication and coordination throughout the panel building process. Provide feedback on design improvements, process optimization, and resource requirements.

   
   


7. 
   

   Safety Compliance: Adhere to safety protocols and procedures to prevent accidents and injuries in the workplace. Follow relevant safety regulations and guidelines, including those related to electrical hazards, personal protective equipment (PPE), and lockout/tagout procedures.
