Reporting directly to the I&E Supervisor, you'll join a talented team including fellow I&E technicians, mechanics, and a seasoned supervisor who has a mentoring leadership style. It's a great, cohesive team with a nice mix of experience and talent. Though you will be the only I&E Technician on night shift, you and the night shift mechanic will support each other, and you’ll be able to communicate with the team at handoff times to ensure you have the information you need to set you up for success.

Working individually, cross-functionally, and within a team framework, you will repair and maintain instruments, electrical equipment and control systems to support our Charlotte facility's equipment. You will have a list of tasks handed over from day shift, as well as the ticketing system, but will also need to be able to prioritize by quickly responding when you receive a breakdown call.

Strong and supportive team
We have established handoff procedures from shift to shift to ensure everyone on the team is always informed, and we work on keeping lines of communication open to help support the team and the plant. As the only I&E Technician on night shift you’ll spend most of your time on your own tasks, but will have support from, and will lend support to, the Mechanic as needed, so you’ll never be totally on your own.

Great environment
This is an established plant with a combination of state-of-the-art and legacy equipment, and a lean state of mind. We’re actively building a performance culture with high-energy teams that encourage cross-functional collaboration with individual contributions.

Training and development
We offer opportunities for advancement in your discipline, as well as opportunities for cross-training in other disciplines in the maintenance department. If you have the desire and drive to learn and develop your skills, you will have ample support to do exactly that. For example, though we expect you’ll have some training on driving large machinery (cherry picker, forklift, etc.) we will ensure you know everything you need to know for safety, and for your own development, by putting you through our licensing process.

Build a career home
Celgard dynamically stewards its resources, particularly our most important resource: our people. Because of our unique market niches and proprietary technologies, we prefer to promote from within whenever possible, and we use a Progression Matrix to clearly identify your path to growth. As we expand, we'll be looking for proven professionals to grow with us. From this role, you could step up to the next level of I&E Technician and beyond.

Green and growing
As a tech-driven company tied to the green energy sector, we are poised for ongoing growth as tech products from cell phones to electric drive vehicles continue to play an ever-increasing role in people’s lives.

Competitive compensation
Celgard is committed to providing competitive pay and benefit programs that meet the needs of our employees and their families. We recognize that our greatest asset is our people, and that they deserve the best support. In addition to a competitive wage, we offer comprehensive benefits including medical, dental, a 401(k) plan, holiday and vacation pay, and more.

More about your success
Our ideal candidate for I&E Technician is willing and able to:

Own your role:
We thrive on the contribution each person brings to our organization, and on how we work together as a team, even while working under limited supervision. If you’re a good fit for our team, you bring accountability, integrity, and a focus on making sure your tasks are completed so that we can keep moving as a team.

Communicate:
Teamwork is essential to our success, and communication is essential to a strong team. In our environment, open and honest communication is the norm. In addition to carefully documenting your work to ensure the next shift knows what is happening, you should be ready to ask and answer questions, ask for and provide help, and ask to learn as well as sharing what you know.

Prioritize and respond:
As you go about your assigned work, you’ll be interrupted with machine breakdowns and other emergent issues. You will be mostly on your own on the night shift, so our ideal candidate must be able to make good decisions and will quickly learn how to prioritize the work to ensure we keep moving.
