  • Perform preventative maintenance, installation, and repair of electrical systems, including motors, generators, transformers, control systems, and power distribution networks.
  • Apply electrical engineering principles to test and ensure the proper functioning of machinery, control equipment, and circuitry.
  • Operate and maintain 480 VAC 3-phase motor control systems and medium voltage motors, drives, and related infrastructure.
  • Conduct diagnostic testing on electrical components such as motor-controlled devices, switch panels, transformers, and generator windings to identify and resolve issues.
  • Troubleshoot system malfunctions, isolate root causes, and implement corrective actions, including dismantling and reassembling equipment as needed.
  • Develop and implement processes for preventative and corrective maintenance to enhance system reliability.
  • Design and maintain control circuits for industrial equipment, ensuring safety and optimal performance.
  • Utilize hand tools and diagnostic equipment to test, repair, and maintain electrical systems.
  • Adhere to all safety protocols, remain vigilant about workplace hazards, and communicate risks or issues that may impact safety, production, or quality.
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams to support operational needs and contribute to continuous improvement initiatives.
  • Perform additional tasks as required to support operational goals.

Qualifications and Skills:

  • Bachelor's degree in Electrical or Electronics Engineering.
  • Minimum of 5 years of hands-on experience in electrical engineering, preferably in industrial or manufacturing settings.
  • Expertise in low and medium voltage systems (up to 13.6kV transformers and power systems).
  • Proficiency in PLC troubleshooting and programming, particularly with Allen-Bradley systems, in industrial environments.
  • Strong skills in troubleshooting, diagnosing, and repairing electrical control systems.
  • Experience specifying and implementing robust sensors and sensing systems.
  • Ability to thrive in a fast-paced, team-oriented environment with strong problem-solving capabilities.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills for effective collaboration and reporting.
  • Proficiency in using diagnostic tools and techniques to resolve electrical issues efficiently.
  • Physical ability to access all work areas, including climbing, crawling, stooping, bending, squatting, and reaching.
  • Capability to wear required personal protective equipment (PPE), including steel-toed shoes, safety glasses, hard hat, safety harness, and electrical safety gear.
  • Comfortable working in varying temperatures, both indoors and outdoors, year-round.
  • Ability to lift, carry, push, and pull loads exceeding 50 lbs.
  • Willingness to work a minimum of 55 hours per week and support any shift during operational emergencies.

Work Environment: This role requires a proactive, safety-conscious professional who can adapt to changing conditions and contribute to a collaborative team environment. The position is primarily day shift but may require flexibility to support operational needs.
