Position Overview

We are partnering with an established industrial manufacturing organization in the South Atlanta area seeking an Electrical & Instrumentation Engineer to join its team.

This is a hands‑on technical opportunity for someone with a strong background in industrial electrical systems, instrumentation, and automation who enjoys troubleshooting complex equipment and supporting plant operations.

The ideal candidate combines practical electrical troubleshooting experience with an understanding of PLCs, industrial instrumentation, and process control systems. This individual will play an important role in maintaining equipment reliability, supporting new installations, and contributing to ongoing operational improvements.

This position is well suited for someone who enjoys both the technical and hands‑on aspects of engineering rather than a strictly office‑based design or programming role.

Key Responsibilities

• Troubleshoot, maintain, and improve industrial electrical, instrumentation, and control systems.
• Diagnose electrical circuits, wiring, control panels, sensors, transmitters, and I/O connections.
• Work with PLC‑based automation systems to identify and resolve equipment and process control issues.
• Install, configure, test, and troubleshoot industrial instrumentation, including flow meters, pressure transmitters, temperature sensors, and related devices.
• Read and interpret electrical drawings, wiring diagrams, and technical schematics.
• Support electrical and instrumentation projects from initial planning through installation, testing, and commissioning.
• Assist with equipment selection, technical design, and system improvements.
• Collaborate with maintenance, operations, and engineering personnel to improve equipment reliability and performance.
• Coordinate with external contractors during equipment installations and maintenance projects.
• Participate in troubleshooting, equipment upgrades, and continuous improvement initiatives.
• Provide technical support during scheduled maintenance activities and occasional equipment emergencies.

Required Qualifications

• Hands‑on experience with industrial electrical systems, instrumentation, or controls engineering.
• Experience troubleshooting industrial electrical circuits, wiring, and control systems.
• Familiarity with Allen‑Bradley PLCs and PLC‑related troubleshooting.
• Working knowledge of industrial instrumentation, including sensors, transmitters, and process measurement devices.
• Ability to read and interpret electrical schematics and wiring diagrams.
• Understanding of industrial I/O systems, signal tracing, and control panel troubleshooting.
• Experience working directly with industrial equipment in a manufacturing or processing environment.
• Strong analytical, technical troubleshooting, and problem‑solving abilities.
• Ability to work independently and take initiative when diagnosing equipment issues.
• Comfortable working in both control‑room and hands‑on industrial environments.

Preferred Qualifications

• 5+ years of relevant experience in industrial electrical systems, instrumentation, automation, or controls.
• Experience with distributed control systems (DCS).
• Familiarity with Siemens PLCs or other industrial automation platforms.
• PLC programming or controls configuration experience.
• Experience with industrial equipment commissioning, startup, and installation.
• Knowledge of instrumentation involving pressure, temperature, flow, and other industrial process measurements.
• Experience supporting capital projects, equipment upgrades, or facility improvements.
• Background in manufacturing, chemical processing, food and beverage, industrial utilities, or other process‑driven environments.
• Experience coordinating electrical contractors or supporting industrial installation projects.

Education: A bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or a related technical field is a plus but not required. Candidates with technical certifications, associate degrees, apprenticeships, or equivalent hands‑on industrial experience will also be considered.

• Fully onsite position in the South Atlanta metro area.
• Primarily day‑shift schedule with some flexibility.
• Combination of hands‑on troubleshooting, technical planning, and control‑system work.
• Occasional on‑call responsibilities and scheduled overtime.
• Must be comfortable working in an active industrial environment.
