Electrical Engineer Opportunity
This isn't a desk job. This is a hands-on, travel-to-the-plant-floor, solve-real-problems role where your Ignition expertise will shape how entire facilities run. You'll be the go-to engineer for SCADA development, electrical troubleshooting, and system startups across Virginia, South Carolina, and Georgia. If you like variety, autonomy, and seeing your work come to life in a manufacturing environment, this is your next move.
The Role
As our Electrical Engineer, you'll own the corporate Ignition installations at every plant site. That means you'll design and deploy SCADA screens, write complex scripts, and integrate Level 2 systems using SQL, ODATA, and Python. You'll also work directly with PLCs (Allen-Bradley/Rockwell), HMIs, and VFDs—and yes, you'll get your hands dirty alongside the maintenance team when a startup or troubleshooting call comes in.
What You'll Do
- Lead Ignition system development: screen layout, design, and advanced scripting
- Program and troubleshoot Allen-Bradley PLCs, operator interfaces, and VFDs
- Design control systems using AutoCAD Electrical
- Support equipment installations, startups, and preventive maintenance routines
- Travel to plants in VA, SC, and GA for project support (typically 25-40% travel)
- Conduct safety observations, evaluations, and audits—safety is non-negotiable
- Manage electrical projects from scope to completion, working with plant teams and management
What You Bring
- 2-4 year degree in Electrical Engineering Technology or a related field
- 5+ years in an industrial electrical technician or engineering role
- Ignition by Inductive Automation experience or certification (required)
- Allen-Bradley/Rockwell programming experience or training (required)
- Solid understanding of electrical, pneumatic, hydraulic, and mechanical systems
- Strong analytical and problem-solving skills
- Comfort working in a team environment and communicating clearly with all levels
Bonus Points
- Automation or robotics experience
- AutoCAD Electrical proficiency
- Preventive maintenance expertise
Compensation & Perks
- $120,000 – $130,000 per year
- Quarterly bonuses (10% – 15% of salary)
- 12% 401K match (voluntary, with company match per quarter)
- Medical: standard PPO plan with deductibles as low as $1,500
- Wellness credit up to $750
- Voluntary dental and vision plans
- Telemedicine services
- Basic life insurance
Location
Based in Bluefield, Virginia (also open to Abingdon or Princeton, VA). Regional travel to SC and GA is part of the rhythm. If you're ready to own the electrical backbone of multiple plants and make a tangible impact every day, let's talk.
