We're seeking an experienced Electrical Engineer to lead day-to-day maintenance and reliability initiatives at a fast-paced industrial manufacturing facility. This is not a design job - it's a boots-on-the-ground role focused on troubleshooting, system performance, and power distribution in a complex environment that runs 24/7.

You'll be the go-to expert on high-voltage systems, rotating equipment, PLCs, and power infrastructure - helping to reduce downtime, drive reliability, and lead project upgrades that keep production moving.

- Support PLC/HMI/DCS controls (Allen-Bradley, Siemens, etc.)

- Execute and manage capital upgrades to improve energy efficiency and reduce risk

- Enforce safety standards in compliance with NEC, OSHA, NFPA 70E

- Collaborate with maintenance, production, and engineering teams to meet KPIs

- Supervise contractors and lead electrical repair crews when needed



Must-Have Qualifications:

- Bachelor's in Electrical Engineering or related field

- 3+ years of experience in electrical maintenance (industrial/manufacturing setting)

- Familiarity with high-horsepower motors, transformers, switchgear, drives, and control systems

- Hands-on experience with troubleshooting electrical faults and automation failures

- Strong understanding of regulatory standards (NEC, OSHA, NFPA)

- Comfortable working in a plant environment with rotating shifts and on-call responsibilities



Bonus Points For:

- PE License or CAP certification

- Experience in pulp & paper, chemicals, or utilities

- Working knowledge of SCADA, PID loops, or industrial networking protocols

- Prior involvement in plant turnarounds or shutdowns

- Lean Six Sigma or TPM knowledge



Why Join:

- Competitive pay + benefits (401k match, health, vision, dental, PTO)

- High-impact role in a critical industrial operation

- Room for advancement and leadership

- Strong investment in safety, reliability, and capital improvement
