What we’re looking for

• 10+ years of field experience supporting E&I system installation on large pharmaceutical or GMP-regulated capital projects
• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Instrumentation Engineering or a related discipline (desired)
• Strong working knowledge of NFPA 70 (NEC), IEC standards, ATEX and instrumentation best practice
• Hands‑on experience with electrical distribution: switchgear, transformers, MCCs, UPS and emergency power systems
