• Provide advanced troubleshooting support for BAMS controllers, network devices, PLCs (Siemens, Rockwell/Allen-Bradley), and HMIs to diagnose control loop issues, interpret ladder diagrams, and optimize control sequences
• Execute electrical installations, modifications, and upgrades in strict adherence to NFPA 70 (NEC) and NFPA 70E safety standards, following established risk assessment and change control procedures
• Complete all work orders and maintenance logs accurately in the CMMS while strictly adhering to cGMP, SOPs, Lockout/Tagout (LOTO), and Arc Flash safety protocols
• Assist in generating and reviewing technical documentation, Standard Operating Procedures, and change control documents to ensure continuous compliance and operational excellence
• Participate in on-call rotation to provide 24/7 emergency support for critical manufacturing and utility systems

Required Qualifications:

• Minimum 10+ years of hands-on experience in industrial maintenance with specific focus on electrical systems, instrumentation, and controls in a highly regulated environment

• Advanced proficiency troubleshooting BAMS (Siemens Apogee/Desigo, Johnson Controls Metasys) and/or industrial PLC/DCS platforms
• Exceptional ability to read and interpret electrical schematics, Piping and Instrumentation Diagrams (P&IDs), loop diagrams, and control logic
• High School Diploma or GED required
• Physical ability to lift up to 50 pounds, work in confined spaces and at heights, and stand/walk/climb ladders for extended periods in varying environmental conditions (mechanical rooms, clean rooms)

Preferred Qualifications:

• Associate's Degree or Vocational/Technical training in Electrical Technology, Instrumentation, or Industrial Controls
• ISA CCST (Certified Control System Technician) Level I or higher, or equivalent industry certification
• Strong understanding of metrology principles and practical field calibration techniques with hands-on experience using decade boxes, field calibrators, and loop calibrators
