Job Description

Electrical Reliability Engineer

Millsdale, IL | On-site

Own the reliability of an entire site’s electrical systems

We’re hiring an E&I Engineer to serve as the technical authority for site electrical systems - driving reliability, preventing failures, and ensuring safe, efficient operations.

This is a hands-on, high-impact role where you’ll move beyond reactive maintenance to root cause problem-solving and long-term system improvement.

What You’ll Do

  • Own performance of medium & low voltage systems across the site
  • Lead root cause failure analysis (RCFA) and eliminate repeat issues
  • Drive preventive & predictive maintenance (PM/PdM) strategies
  • Support capital projects (design review, equipment selection, scoping)
  • Ensure compliance with NFPA, IEEE, NEMA, and hazardous area standards
  • Develop and maintain one-lines, schematics, and electrical documentation

Qualifications

What you likely have

Experience Working With

  • Motors, drives, switchgear, and plant power distribution systems
  • Protection relays and electrical protection systems
  • Electrical safety practices (arc flash awareness preferred, but not a primary focus)

Ability To

  • Read and update one-lines, schematics, and loop diagrams
  • Troubleshoot issues in a real-world plant environment - not just from a desk

Mindset

  • Strong troubleshooting approach with a focus on fixing issues for good, not quick fixes
  • Comfortable partnering with maintenance and operations teams
  • Confident acting as a site-wide electrical subject matter expert

Experience

  • 3 years’ experience E&I, electrical, or reliability roles

Education

  • Electrical Engineering Degree
  • ISA or EPRI Instrumentation Certification Preferred
  • Equivalent combination of technical education and related experience.

Why this role

  • Be the go-to electrical expert for a manufacturing site
  • Drive real uptime, safety, and reliability improvements
  • Work cross-functionally with operations, maintenance, and engineering

If you’re someone who asks, “how do we make sure this never happens again?” - we want to talk.

Pay Range: $130,000 - $160,000

The salary range for this position is determined by considering a variety of factors such as skills, experience, qualifications, and the location of the position.
