Job Details

We're looking for an Electrical Designer with approximately 10 years of OEM experience — ideally in Pulp and Paper or Food and Dairy — who can own the design and delivery of industrial control systems. Here's what the work actually looks like:

• Designing and assembling electrical control panels under 480V for packaging machinery
• Specifying and configuring Allen-Bradley hardware — MCCs, VFDs, IO cards, power supplies, Ethernet switches
• Designing integrated control systems using PLCs networked to Remote IO Panels
• Specifying instruments used in packaging and processing environments — photo-eyes, proximity switches, flow and pressure transmitters, solenoid valves
• Designing pneumatic systems and sizing components appropriately
• Working in AutoCAD Electrical
• Commissioning and de-bugging systems in the field after installation
• Applying NEC and UL requirements for industrial control panels

A two-year degree in an electrical technology field is the baseline, though relevant hands‑on experience with a controls integrator or OEM carries equal weight. Some travel required — typically under 25%.

A bit about us:

We're an engineering firm with deep roots and a culture that reflects it — collaborative, technically serious, and built around people who take ownership of their work in every sense of the word. We operate across a wide range of industries and project types, and we've grown steadily by doing good work and keeping good people. The team here is the kind that asks hard questions, shares what they know, and genuinely cares how the project turns out.

Why join us?

Real projects. A team that respects the craft. And a culture where your work actually matters.

This is a role for someone who likes to see a design through from concept to commissioning — not hand it off and move on. You'll be working alongside control engineers to design electrical control systems and panels for packaging machinery, which means your fingerprints are on the finished product. The work is technical, the team is collaborative, and Green Bay, WI offers a quality of life that most engineering hubs can't compete with.

If you've spent your career at an OEM or controls integrator and want to bring that experience somewhere it'll actually be valued, this is worth a conversation.
