Electrical Engineer II

Electrical Engineer II

The Electrical Engineer II is a hands‑on technical contributor who strengthens the reliability, safety, and performance of industrial manufacturing systems. This role blends engineering design, troubleshooting, and project execution, supporting both daily operations and long‑term modernization initiatives. You will help drive equipment upgrades, optimize controls, and ensure that electrical systems meet the demands of a fast‑paced production environment.

Role Overview

You will work across engineering, maintenance, operations, and external partners to deliver robust electrical solutions. From designing equipment retrofits to diagnosing complex system failures, you will be a key technical resource who ensures that production assets operate safely and efficiently. This role requires strong engineering fundamentals, practical problem‑solving, and the ability to manage discipline‑specific portions of larger projects.

Responsibilities

•Provide engineering input for the selection, modification, and improvement of electrical and industrial equipment.

•Represent the electrical discipline on cross‑functional project teams, ensuring electrical scope is delivered on time, within budget, and to specification.

•Develop engineering designs, drawings, and documentation for equipment installations, retrofits, and upgrades.

•Troubleshoot electrical, controls, and power distribution issues, supporting maintenance teams with timely, accurate solutions.

•Evaluate and improve industrial control systems, including PLCs, HMIs, drives, and communication networks.

•Support the development of project scopes, cost estimates, schedules, and technical specifications.

•Ensure compliance with electrical codes, safety standards, and internal engineering practices.

•Direct contractors, consultants, and suppliers during installation, commissioning, and maintenance activities.

•Apply engineering judgment to solve complex problems and recommend improvements to equipment reliability and performance.

•Maintain accurate engineering records, drawings, and documentation.

•Contribute to continuous improvement initiatives focused on safety, uptime, and operational efficiency.

•Perform independent engineering work on larger assignments while collaborating with senior engineers and leadership.

•Support training and knowledge transfer to technicians and operators as needed.

•Perform additional duties and special projects as assigned.

Position Requirements

•Bachelor’s degree in engineering or a related technical discipline.

•Three or more years of electrical engineering experience in an industrial, manufacturing, or heavy‑equipment environment.

•Strong troubleshooting skills for facility power systems, industrial controls wiring, and low‑voltage distribution.

•Experience with PLCs, HMIs, industrial networks, and Level II control systems.

•Familiarity with hydraulic and pneumatic systems and their integration with electrical controls.

•Working knowledge of MCCs, drive systems, and industrial automation technologies.

•Proficiency with CAD software (3D preferred), MS Office, and engineering design tools.

•Understanding of electrical codes and standards such as NEC and IEEE.

•Strong communication, organization, and decision‑making skills.

•Ability to manage discipline‑specific portions of projects and coordinate with cross‑functional teams.

•Ability to direct contractors, consultants, and suppliers.

•Strong design and problem‑solving capabilities.

•Comfortable working in a fast‑paced, production‑oriented environment.
