Job description

You’ll be the go-to E&I expert keeping a highly automated metals production plant safe, stable, and online.

This isn’t a slow-moving facility.

You’ll touch everything: power distribution, field instruments, PLC/DCS controls, HMIs, and networks. When something hiccups, you’re the one they call.

Your work directly protects people, equipment, and production.

If you’ve been doing industrial E&I or controls maintenance and want more impact and ownership, we want to talk to you.

What You'll Work On

You’ll own a wide range of plant electrical and controls systems, from field devices to control rooms:

• Plant electrical systems and power distribution equipment
• Field instrumentation for pressure, level, flow, temperature, pH, ORP, and analytics
• PLC, DCS, HMI platforms, remote I/O, and communication networks
• Motors, motor controls, VFDs, breakers, and control panels
• Control valves, actuators, positioners, and I/P devices
• Electrical and instrumentation drawings, loop sheets, and P&IDs
• Calibration, loop checks, and commissioning activities
• Maintenance records, documentation, and change management
• You’ll routinely use multimeters, loop and process calibrators, HART communicators, and PLC/DCS software to keep the plant dialed in.

What We're Looking For

• Minimum 3 years of industrial electrical & instrumentation or controls maintenance experience (5+ years for senior-level consideration)
• Associate degree in electrical, instrumentation, or controls, or equivalent hands-on experience
• Working knowledge of power distribution, motor controls, PLC/DCS, instruments, and industrial networks
• Proficiency with multimeters, loop and process calibrators, HART communicators, and PLC/DCS software
• Ability to read and interpret electrical and instrumentation drawings, control logic, and P&IDs
• Solid grounding in electrical theory, applicable codes, and safe work practices
• Able to wear required PPE, including a respirator, and work at heights
• ISA certification, electrical license, or manufacturer PLC/DCS training preferred
