A growing industrial manufacturer is seeking an experienced Electrical & Controls Engineering Manager to lead electrical, controls, automation, and instrumentation engineering.
This is a nationwide search. The position may be based in either Lebanon, Oregon or Henderson, Nevada, and relocation assistance is available for qualified candidates.
This is a hands-on engineering leadership role for an experienced technical leader who combines deep knowledge of industrial electrical and control systems with a proven ability to lead engineers, projects, and modernization initiatives.
You'll play a key role in improving reliability, modernizing electrical and control systems, developing engineering talent, and leading capital projects from concept through commissioning.
Requirements
What You'll Do
Lead, develop, and manage a team of 20+ engineering professionals, including experienced senior engineers and technical specialists.
Build a collaborative, accountable engineering culture while effectively leading professionals with varying levels of experience and technical expertise.
Coach, mentor, and develop engineering talent while setting clear expectations and priorities.
Provide technical leadership for electrical distribution, motor controls, instrumentation, and automation systems.
Guide the design, implementation, and modernization of PLC, HMI, SCADA, DCS, and industrial network systems.
Review and approve engineering designs, drawings, specifications, and technical documentation.
Lead capital and modernization projects from concept and design through installation and commissioning.
Troubleshoot complex electrical and control system issues and support root-cause analysis.
Drive improvements in equipment reliability, system performance, and operational safety.
Ensure compliance with applicable NEC, NFPA, OSHA, ISA, and IEEE standards.
Coordinate with operations, maintenance, contractors, system integrators, and equipment suppliers.
Develop engineering standards and support continuous improvement and change-management initiatives.
Qualifications
Required
Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or a related technical field.
8+ years of experience in electrical engineering, industrial automation, or control systems engineering.
Demonstrated success leading and developing a sizable engineering team or organization, ideally 15–20+ technical professionals.
Proven ability to lead highly experienced engineers and technical experts, establish accountability, build consensus, and earn the respect of a technically accomplished team.
Strong people-management skills, including coaching, mentoring, performance management, team development, and organizational leadership.
Strong knowledge of industrial electrical systems, including MCCs, VFDs, instrumentation, and electrical distribution.
Hands-on knowledge of PLC, HMI, SCADA, DCS, and industrial network architectures.
Experience leading engineering projects from design through installation and commissioning.
Strong troubleshooting, problem-solving, communication, and project leadership skills.
Preferred
PE license.
Master's degree in engineering, engineering management, or business.
Experience within industrial manufacturing or process industries.
PMP, automation, controls, or reliability-related certification.
Experience with industrial cybersecurity and modern connected manufacturing technologies.
Experience leading electrical or controls modernization and reliability initiatives.
Why This Role Stands Out
Lead an accomplished team: Manage and develop an engineering organization of 20+ professionals, including experienced senior engineers and technical experts.
Make an organizational impact: Shape engineering culture, accountability, standards, talent development, and technical direction.
Stay technically engaged: Bring the technical credibility necessary to guide complex engineering decisions while empowering experienced engineers to own their areas of expertise.
Modernize the operation: Help drive controls upgrades, electrical modernization, reliability improvements, and capital investments.
Develop engineering talent: Mentor engineers, strengthen leadership capabilities, and build the team's long-term technical depth.
Own major initiatives: Lead projects from concept and design through contractor coordination, installation, startup, and commissioning.
