What we're looking for:
- 5 years of industrial maintenance experience in manufacturing or a related process industry
- 2 to 4 years of supervisory or lead experience in an electrical or controls role (though if you're a strong technical candidate who's been leading informally, let's talk)
- Solid hands-on experience with PLC and DCS programming, troubleshooting, SCADA, and HMI systems
- Working knowledge of NEC, ISA, and NFPA 70E standards
- A natural leader who communicates well, stays organized, and knows how to bring a team together
