Controls Engineer

Improve Equipment Reliability & Reduce Unplanned Downtime

• Lead initiatives that strengthen electrical and control system reliability, with the goal of reducing downtime trends year over year.
• Drive root‑cause analysis and corrective action implementation that permanently prevents repeat equipment failures.

Deliver High‑Impact Engineering Projects

• Own plant electrical and control system projects from concept through completion—success measured by on‑time delivery, adherence to budget, and achievement of documented performance targets.
• Lead or support capital improvement projects that enhance safety, efficiency, automation, and system capability.

Strengthen Safety & Compliance Performance

• Advance the plant's electrical safety posture through execution of safety initiatives and adherence to corporate engineering standards.
• Champion NFPA 70E standards and ensure controls systems meet safety and environmental compliance expectations.

Elevate Operational Efficiency & Process Control

• Drive optimization of PLC, HMI, DCS, and SCADA control systems to improve process stability and throughput.
• Identify performance gaps within production systems and implement engineered solutions that deliver measurable improvements.

Lead Technical Development & Cross‑Functional Collaboration

• Mentor junior engineers and electricians, raising technical capability across the team and improving troubleshooting efficiency.
• Partner with operations, maintenance, and external engineering resources to steer priorities and ensure alignment on performance outcomes.

What You Bring to the Team:

• Bachelor's degree in electrical engineering or electrical engineering technology with experience in control systems engineering in a continuous and/or discrete manufacturing environment 
• Ability to provide solutions to projects and basic process engineering problems.
• Knowledge with Allen-Bradley PLC and HMI applications (including programming).
• Basic project management skills
• Demonstrated success managing projects up to $50k
• Demonstrated ability to work collaboratively with internal and external engineering resources.
• Must possess good analytical and problem-solving skills.
• Demonstrated drive and initiative to complete assigned tasks and investigate and seek out improvement opportunities.
