Help build the next generation of grid-connected energy systems.
Verdyn is looking for an Electrical Panel Builder / Panel Shop Technician to assemble, wire, inspect, and support the production of electrical cabinets and control panels for advanced energy systems, including STATCOMs, Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS), capacitor-based systems, DC infrastructure, EV fast charging systems, and power quality equipment.
This is a hands-on shop-floor role for someone who takes pride in clean, reliable, serviceable electrical assemblies. You will work from electrical drawings, wiring diagrams, schematics, bills of material, and layout drawings to build high-quality cabinets used in real industrial and grid-connected applications.
We are looking for someone who understands that excellent panel building is not just “putting wires in a box.” It requires accuracy, craftsmanship, safety awareness, documentation discipline, good mechanical judgment, and the ability to build equipment that can survive commissioning, field service, and long-term operation.
About Verdyn
Founded in 2019, Verdyn delivers turn-key solutions across renewable energy, battery storage, power quality, and electrical infrastructure. We support customers through engineering, design, procurement, implementation, maintenance, and service.
Our work spans three core areas:
Power Quality
We help industrial customers improve reliability, reduce downtime, and protect critical equipment.
Microgrids
Our DC microgrid solutions integrate renewable generation, BESS, and EV charging to improve efficiency and enable intelligent energy management.
EV DC Fast Charging
Our charging platform supports high-performance, scalable EV infrastructure with the potential for integrated onsite power.
At Verdyn, we are building practical systems for the energy transition — not just concept designs, but real equipment deployed in the field.
The Role
As an Electrical Panel Builder / Panel Shop Technician, you will support the assembly of electrical and control cabinets for power electronics and energy storage systems. You will install components, fabricate and modify enclosures, route and terminate wiring, apply labels, follow drawings, support inspection, and help prepare systems for testing and commissioning.
This role is ideal for someone who is detail-oriented, mechanically capable, comfortable reading electrical drawings, and motivated to build clean, safe, professional-grade panels.
You will work closely with electrical engineers, controls engineers, mechanical designers, production staff, QA, and commissioning teams.
What You’ll Do
- Assemble electrical control panels, power cabinets, and equipment enclosures from engineering drawings, schematics, wiring diagrams, and bills of material
- Lay out and install components including terminal blocks, DIN rail, wire duct, breakers, disconnects, relays, contactors, fuses, power supplies, PLCs, I/O modules, communications devices, sensors, fans, heaters, filters, and monitoring equipment
- Wire AC control circuits, DC control circuits, low-voltage communications, and power distribution circuits according to drawings and shop standards
- Support cabinet assembly for BESS, STATCOM, capacitor systems, DC microgrids, EV charging, and power quality systems
- Cut, strip, crimp, ferrule, label, route, dress, and terminate wires to a high workmanship standard
- Build wire harnesses and cable assemblies as required
- Install and terminate shielded cable, Ethernet, CAN, Modbus, fibre or communication wiring where applicable
- Maintain proper separation of power, control, signal, communications, and grounding conductors
- Support installation of busbar, grounding/bonding conductors, high-current cabling, and protective devices under engineering direction
- Perform mechanical work such as drilling, tapping, punching, cutting DIN rail, cutting wire duct, installing glands, mounting plates, and cabinet hardware
- Apply wire numbers, device labels, warning labels, nameplates, and panel identification according to drawings and project requirements
- Verify component placement, wire terminations, torque requirements, continuity, polarity, and drawing conformity
- Support point-to-point checks, continuity checks, insulation checks, functional testing, and factory acceptance testing
- Identify drawing errors, missing materials, design conflicts, or build issues early and communicate them clearly
- Maintain accurate redlines, markups, build notes, and quality records
- Keep work areas organized, clean, and safe using good 5S and shop-floor practices
- Follow electrical safety procedures, lockout/tagout requirements, and safe work practices around energized and high-energy systems
- Support troubleshooting, rework, and field-service preparation as needed
What We’re Looking For
- Hands-on experience building industrial control panels, electrical cabinets, automation panels, power distribution panels, or similar electrical assemblies
- Ability to read and interpret electrical schematics, single-line diagrams, wiring diagrams, panel layouts, and bills of material
- Strong wiring workmanship: clean routing, accurate terminations, consistent labeling, proper crimping, appropriate bend radius, and neat wire management
- Familiarity with common panel shop tools including crimpers, ferrule tools, wire strippers, torque tools, drills, taps, punches, multimeters, and continuity testers
- Understanding of grounding, bonding, fusing, circuit protection, wire sizing, control wiring, and safe cabinet assembly practices
- Comfort working with both mechanical and electrical assembly tasks
- Strong attention to detail and ability to follow drawings precisely
- Ability to work independently while asking good questions when drawings or instructions are unclear
- Good communication skills with engineers, technicians, QA, and production staff
- Commitment to safety, quality, documentation, and continuous improvement
- Comfortable working in a fast-moving environment where designs may evolve and practical feedback from the shop floor matters
Strong Assets
- Experience building panels for power electronics, inverters, drives, BESS, STATCOMs, capacitor banks, switchgear, motor control, EV charging, or renewable energy systems
- Experience with UL 508A, CSA C22.2 No. 286, CSA/CEC practices, or industrial control panel inspection requirements
- Experience with high-current DC systems, battery systems, capacitor systems, pre-charge circuits, contactor circuits, insulation monitoring, or emergency stop circuits
- Experience with PLCs, I/O wiring, industrial networking, CAN, Modbus RTU/TCP, Ethernet/IP, or fibre communications
- Experience with torque documentation, inspection checklists, factory acceptance testing, and production quality systems
- Experience working from AutoCAD Electrical, EPLAN, SolidWorks Electrical, or similar electrical design packages
- Electrical Technician, Electrical Engineering Technologist, Mechatronics, Automation, or related diploma
- 309A, 442A, or relevant electrical trade background
- Forklift, crane, WHMIS, lockout/tagout, or electrical safety training
- Ability to support occasional commissioning, troubleshooting, or field work
What Success Looks Like
In this role, success means the cabinets you build are clean, accurate, safe, testable, and serviceable. Your wiring matches the drawings. Your labels are correct. Your terminations are reliable. Your workmanship makes troubleshooting easier, not harder.
You catch problems before they become field issues. You communicate clearly when something does not look right. You understand that a well-built cabinet reflects the quality of the whole company.
You are not just assembling parts — you are helping build real energy systems that need to operate safely and reliably in demanding environments.
Why Join Verdyn
