Job DescriptionJob Description
Electrical Panel Builder – Conveyor / Automation Projects
Coast2Coast Staffing Inc. | Nationwide Projects / Shop-Based Roles Available
$22–$35/hr + OT | Steady Work | High-Profile Projects
If you can read prints, wire clean panels, and don’t need babysitting, we have consistent work building control panels for conveyor systems, distribution centers, and automation installs across the U.S.
We’re not a “sit around the shop” company — this is real project work tied to active installs (Amazon-type facilities, large-scale distribution, etc.).

· Build and wire industrial control panels from schematics
· Install components: PLCs, relays, breakers, VFDs, terminal blocks
· Perform point-to-point wiring (clean, labeled, to spec)
· Read and work off electrical prints + BOMs without hand-holding
· Test panels (continuity, basic function) before deployment
· Troubleshoot and fix wiring issues quickly
What We’re Looking For (Non-Negotiables)
· 2+ years hands-on panel building experience
· Can read schematics without guessing
· Clean wiring habits (this matters — clients inspect our work)
· Shows up, works full shifts, and hits deadlines
Bonus Points (Gets You Top Pay / First Call)
· Conveyor / distribution center experience
· PLC wiring (Allen-Bradley, Siemens)
· UL508A experience
· Experience supporting field installs or startups
Why Guys Stick With Us
· Consistent pipeline of conveyor + automation projects
· No guesswork jobs — you know what you’re walking into
· Fast placement → We move quickly if you’re qualified
· Opportunity to transition into traveling install crews (higher pay)
Schedule / Work Environment

· OT available regularly
