We have big plans for how we are going to accomplish this, and we would love for you to join us in this effort.

As our Maintenance Electrician, you’ll maintain the equipment in Kellogg Company’s state-of-the-art facility in Omaha, NE. We’re hoping you can take a new angle on what otherwise might be ordinary as you partner with personnel in operations, quality food safety and environmental health and safety. Do you have a spark for tinkering with electrical components? If you love technical problem solving and are eager to shape a strong future for our company and your career, let’s bring out the Tiger in you!

Hey, wheat’s up? Our Omaha plant has been cooking up Pops and Mini-Wheats cereal using ingredients from field to bowl for over 70 years. Come be a part of a team that shares a can-do attitude and willingness to get the job done! Don’t wait, apply now.

HERE’S A TASTE OF WHAT YOU’LL BE DOING

• Maintaining Equipment and Amplifying Skills - Alternate between troubleshooting, preventative maintenance and on-the-spot machine repair. You will need a firm focus and understanding of programmable logic controllers (PLC's). This is a special opportunity to enhance your expertise, but you need to already be a creative problem-solver who clearly documents your learnings!
• Analyzing Conditions and Providing Solutions - Identify and examine production equipment failures to understand root cause analysis, with the help of interpreting schematics and drawings. We’ll rely on you to investigate and repair electrical systems such as VFD’s variable frequency drives, automation control devices, instrumentation for example flow meters, temperature control devices, etc!
• Prioritizing Innovation and Communication - Actively seek ways to improve plant efficiency and cost savings, maintaining an open dialogue with your lead and supervisor regarding day-to-day activities. Your drive for excellence and ability to connect with others will lead you toward a successful future!
