Electrician Full-Time-$27/HR
Job Description
Six Flags Great America is seeking a qualified Electrician to repair, maintain, install, and inspect electrical systems across the park - including amusement rides, attractions, and support facilities. Our electricians maintain park power distribution (switchgear, transformers, disconnects, and panelboards) and work with all voltage systems up to and including three-phase 480V, service ride power-transfer and DC drive systems, perform ride and field-device inspections, and carry out new installations and upgrades in a fast-paced, safety-critical environment.
Responsibilities:
Responsibilities
Job duties include, but are not limited to, the following:
* Repair, install, and troubleshoot electrical wiring systems, controls, lighting fixtures, and ride equipment.
* Work with all voltage systems up to and including three-phase 480V.
* Maintain and inspect park power distribution equipment - disconnects, transformers, switchgear, panelboards, and distribution cabinets - up to 480V.
* Perform ride inspections, checking field devices - proximity switches, photo eyes, limit switches, cables, and similar - to verify all connections are secure and components are undamaged.
* Inspect, maintain, and service AC and DC motors driven by contactors or drives, including DC motor and tach-generator brush replacement and commutator inspection and stoning.
* Service ride power-transfer systems - slip rings, conductor (bus) rails, collector shoes, and brushes - including brush replacement, ring and rail dressing, and carbon management (some systems at 480V).
* Inspect, test, and adjust electromechanical motor and safety brakes - brake-coil continuity, air-gap adjustment, and pad wear to specification.
* Inspect and verify ride restraint-circuit components, such as lap-bar and harness-release solenoids.
* Maintain facility electrical systems and perform new installations and upgrades.
* Maintain facility, ride, and queue lighting, including emergency/egress lighting and exit signs.
* Perform preventative maintenance on all electrical apparatus.
* Install or modify electrical systems and components.
* Update drawings and schematic diagrams, and assist in selecting electrical components and materials.
* Assist with park operations responsibilities as needed.
Qualifications:

* Ability to read and work from schematic and wiring diagrams.
* Ability to troubleshoot electrical problems on rides, controls, motors, and equipment.
* Experience inspecting and maintaining field devices and ride control components.
* Experience with conduit bending and pipe/raceway installation.
* Experience with AC and DC motors, contactors, and drives.
* Experience with power distribution equipment (disconnects, transformers, switchgear, panelboards) up to 480V.
* Valid driver's license.
* Ability to climb, work at heights, and perform heavy lifting.
* Must provide own hand tools for daily use.
* Willing to work varied shifts and flexible schedules, including nights, weekends, and holidays.
Preferred:
* Trade school certification, completed apprenticeship, or active enrollment in a trade program.
* Experience with motor controls, VFDs, PLCs, or relay logic.
* Experience servicing DC motors and tach generators (brush replacement and commutator stoning).
* Experience with slip-ring, conductor-rail (bus bar), and collector-shoe power-transfer systems.
* Experience inspecting and adjusting electromechanical motor and safety brakes (air gap, coil continuity).
