Electrical Engineer

Electrical Engineer
Oxford, AL

Our client, a well-established manufacturer in eastern Alabama, is looking to add an Electrical Engineer to its engineering team. This is a great opportunity for someone early in their career who wants to get involved with much more than day-to-day maintenance support.

The engineering team is actively involved in troubleshooting complex manufacturing issues, improving automated production equipment, supporting capital projects, and helping modernize a highly automated manufacturing operation. You'll work alongside experienced engineers who enjoy mentoring and are looking for someone they can invest in over the long term.

This role offers exposure to a wide variety of engineering projects. One day you may be troubleshooting an automation issue that's impacting production, and the next you could be supporting a controls upgrade, helping commission new equipment, or working through improvements that make the operation safer, more reliable, and more efficient.

Responsibilities

• Support electrical engineering projects from planning through startup and commissioning
• Troubleshoot electrical, controls, and automation issues on manufacturing equipment
• Assist with PLC modifications and controls improvements
• Partner with production and maintenance teams to identify equipment improvements and solve recurring issues
• Support capital projects, equipment upgrades, and new equipment installations
• Create and maintain electrical drawings, schematics, and supporting documentation
• Work with equipment vendors, contractors, and internal teams to successfully execute projects
• Help drive continuous improvement initiatives focused on safety, reliability, quality, and productivity

What They're Looking For

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering
• Manufacturing experience through internships, co-ops, or full-time employment
• Strong troubleshooting and problem-solving skills
• Interest in industrial automation and controls
• Exposure to PLCs, electrical systems, or manufacturing equipment is a plus
• AutoCAD experience is helpful but not required

More important than checking every technical box is finding someone who's naturally curious, enjoys figuring out how things work, and wants to continue developing as an engineer. They're looking for someone who asks questions, takes initiative, and wants to build a career in manufacturing-not someone who's simply looking for their next job.

Why This Role?
If you're looking for a position where you'll gain real project experience instead of being limited to routine support work, this is an excellent opportunity. You'll have the chance to work on automation, controls, capital equipment, process improvements, and new equipment installations while learning from an experienced engineering team that's committed to helping you grow.
It's the kind of role where you'll leave each year knowing considerably more than when you started, with increasing ownership of projects and plenty of opportunities to expand your technical skill set.
