We are seeking a highly skilled Electrical Assembly Team Lead to join our team in Houston, Texas. SUMMARY OF THE JOB The Team Leader oversees a small team (4–10) of electrical assemblers responsible for installing, routing, and terminating wiring and components for large Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) systems. In addition to performing hands-on wiring tasks, this role plans daily work, assigns tasks, coaches team members, ensures adherence to safety and quality standards, and drives on-time delivery and continuous improvement. MAIN RESPONSIBILITIES Electrical Assembly & Wiring (Hands-On) • Install and route wiring harnesses, cable trays, and control wiring per schematics, wiring diagrams, and work instructions. • Terminate wires using approved crimping, soldering, ferruling, and connector assembly methods; verify torque per spec. • Mount and integrate electrical components (breakers, bus bars, current transformers, contactors, PLC/controls, HMI panels) in high-capacity UPS enclosures and skids. • Label conductors and components per BOM/line list; maintain wire dress and bend radius standards. Testing & Quality Assurance • Conduct continuity, polarity, and insulation resistance tests; assist with point-to-point verification. • Perform first-article and in-process quality checks; contain defects and initiate corrective actions. • Ensure compliance with NEC/UL/IEC labeling and wiring practices and company QMS procedures. • Support FAT (Factory Acceptance Testing) readiness with documentation and rework coordination. Documentation & Traceability • Read/interpret electrical schematics, one-lines, wiring diagrams, and build-of-materials. • Complete routing sheets, checklists, rework tickets/NCRs, and production logs accurately and on time. • Provide redlines to engineering for drawing errors or improvement suggestions. Team Leadership & Coordination Duties People Leadership • Assign daily work, set priorities, balance resources across stations, and approve breaks/rotation. • Train and cross-train team members on wiring standards, tools, test methods, ESD/arc-flash practices, and 5S. • Conduct on-the-job coaching, skill assessments, and contribute to performance feedback. • Promote a positive, accountable team culture focused on safety, quality, and delivery. Safety & Compliance • Lead daily start-of-shift safety huddles and enforce LOTO, PPE, ESD, and energized work boundaries. • Perform safety audits, 5S audits, and near-miss reporting; escalate hazards immediately. • Ensure tooling calibration, crimp-tool validation, and panel clearance standards are met. Production Control • Execute the build plan: sequence work to meet takt time, milestones, and ship dates. • Monitor WIP, remove blockers, request materials, and coordinate with stores/receiving for shortages. • Collaborate with Mechanical, Test, Quality, and Engineering to resolve issues quickly. • Track team metrics (FTQ, defects, hours vs. standard, on-time completions). Continuous Improvement • Lead kaizen/5S events within the cell; standardize best practices and visual work aids. • Implement error-proofing (color-coding, keyed connectors, terminal markers, checklists). • Reduce rework and improve first-pass yield through root cause analysis and corrective actions. REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS • High school diploma or equivalent; technical certification in electrical assembly or industrial wiring preferred. • 3–5+ years of electrical wiring/installation experience in industrial/power systems or panel building. • Proven ability to read electrical schematics, wiring diagrams, one-lines, and panel layouts. • Proficient with crimping (ratcheting tools, die selection), ferruling, torque tools, and test equipment (DMM, megger). • Knowledge of electrical safety practices (NEC, NFPA 70E, OSHA) and quality systems. • Experience guiding others on the floor—work assignment, coaching, or mentoring. • Candidates must already have a work authorization that would permit them to work for Gutor in the US. PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS • Prior team lead/working lead experience (4–10 direct reports in a production cell). • Familiarity with UPS systems, power distribution assemblies, and FAT processes. • Experience with lean manufacturing (5S, standard work, visual management, problem-solving/A3). • Basic mechanical aptitude (panel/enclosure fit-up, cable tray, gland plates, torqueing). WHAT WE OFFER: • The base salary range for this position is $80,000 - 105,000 USD, depending on experience and qualifications. • Paid holidays • Paid Time Off: 20 days of vacation • 401(k) plan: up to 6% company matching contribution • Cigna Dental and Vision Insurance • FSA and HSA savings account options • Basic Life and AD&D Insurance • Voluntary supplemental life insurance • Health & Fitness Reimbursement PHYSICAL & WORK ENVIRONMENT • Manufacturing environment with standing, bending, and lifting up to ~50 lbs; frequent use of hand/power tools. • Occasional overtime to meet ship dates; PPE required (safety glasses, gloves; arc-rated gear as applicable).
