Lead Reliability & Safety in a World-Class Chemical Manufacturing Environment

Mitsubishi Chemical America’s Specialty Resins Division is seeking a seasoned Instrumentation & Electrical Supervisor to lead maintenance excellence and equipment reliability supporting acrylic resin manufacturing.

This is a high-impact leadership role where you’ll guide skilled I/E technicians, oversee calibration and electrical systems integrity, and ensure safe, compliant, and reliable plant operations. You’ll also serve as a key cross-craft leader, backing up mechanical maintenance and partnering with engineering, operations, and projects teams.

What You’ll Do

• Lead and coordinate daily work for I/E technicians across preventive, predictive, and corrective maintenance

• Ensure reliability and compliance of instrumentation, control systems, and electrical equipment

• Own calibration programs and maintenance records (flow, temperature, scale, etc.)

• Supervise contractors and plan outages, shutdown work, and major repairs

• Troubleshoot equipment failures and drive repair/replace decisions

• Maintain and update electrical & instrumentation drawings and CMMS data

• Support capital projects, upgrades, and reliability improvements

• Participate in PSM, MOC, and safety system integrity activities

• Collaborate across crafts and back up Mechanical Maintenance leadership when needed

• Support on-call rotation for plant reliability and emergency response

Why This Role Stands Out

• Leadership breadth: Supervise multiple crafts and plant-critical systems

• Operational impact: Direct influence on plant uptime, safety, and product quality

• Technical ownership: Calibration, controls, electrical infrastructure, and upgrades

• Cross-functional exposure: Projects, engineering, operations, and PSM

• Global company stability: Part of a respected international chemical manufacturer

What You Bring

• 12+ years of I/E supervision experience in chemical or process manufacturing

• Associate degree or technical certification in I&E (preferred)

• Strong knowledge of instrumentation, electrical systems, and control equipment

• Experience with calibration programs and CMMS systems

• Ability to read and interpret detailed electrical & instrumentation drawings

• Working knowledge of Process Safety Management (PSM) environments

• Proven leadership, planning, and organizational skills

• Strong communication across hourly teams, engineers, and leadership

Success Profile

You’re a hands-on reliability leader who:

• Prioritizes safety and compliance without compromise

• Makes timely, sound maintenance decisions

• Keeps teams aligned on plant goals

• Drives execution and accountability

• Identifies improvements that increase uptime and performance
