Main duties

This group performs some or all of the following duties:

Assemblers

Assemble and fit metal and other prefabricated parts to close tolerances according to blueprints to build heavy-duty electric motors or transformers

Assemble stators or armatures for heavy-duty electric motors; compress steel laminations to build transformer cores; assemble windings into core using overhead cranes and make electrical connections using crimping, brazing and soldering equipment

Assemble and fit electrical motor or transformer auxiliary equipment such as bushings, tap changes, conduit boxes, heating devices, protective equipment and cooling equipment

Set up and adjust production machinery and equipment, such as coil winding machines, for the manufacture of heavy-duty electrical equipment

May perform basic tests on electric motors.

Electrical fitters and wirers

Interpret engineering drawings, electrical schematics and blueprints

Fit motor starters, contactors, capacitors, circuit breakers, voltage regulators, printed circuit boards or other electrical control devices into switchboards and panelboards to produce automated processing control equipment, electrical distribution panels, or other industrial electrical control equipment

Wire electrical connections for switchboards and panelboards

Assemble panelboard and switchboard cabinets and install bus bars used to carry heavy electrical current

May operate metal fabricating equipment to fabricate or modify bus bars.

Inspectors

Monitor production and troubleshoot production problems

Check final assembly of electric motors, transformers or control equipment for adherence to quality control standards

Collect, record and summarize inspection results.

Employment requirements
