Job description

Senior Electrical & Controls Engineer - Covington, GA
DISHER is currently partnering with a leading provider of custom HVAC and environmental control solutions based in Covington, Georgia. With decades of experience serving mission-critical industries such as healthcare, pharmaceuticals, data centers, and advanced manufacturing, this organization is known for designing and delivering highly engineered air handling systems tailored to complex client needs. Their team combines deep technical expertise with a commitment to quality and innovation, making them a trusted partner for clients requiring precision-controlled environments.
What it's like to work here:
This highly skilled and self-motivated Electrical Controls Engineer, passionate about innovation and world-class design, will play a key role in driving their success and must have the ability to take ownership of assigned projects with confidence and independence. The ideal candidate is an experienced professional capable of excelling in electrical design and troubleshooting without requiring extensive guidance or coaching. While they will provide training on the principles of our systems, it is expected that this team member will demonstrate expertise and the ability to contribute effectively from the start.
What you will get to do:
  • Design and own electrical schematics for custom dehumidification systems, including ladder logic and PLC architectures using CAD tools.
  • Select and size electrical components (motors, breakers, contactors, relays, VFDs, controllers) to ensure safe, reliable system operation and provide complete BOMs to Purchasing.
  • Develop, program, and maintain PLC-based control strategies, primarily in Carel and Automation Direct platforms, with fluency in additional PLC environments as needed.
  • Lead R&D and new product development initiatives focused on advancing PLC/HMI and electrical design systems for greater automation, quality, and scalability.
  • Create and update production standards, procedures, and documentation that support repeatable, high-quality builds and service activities.
  • Drive automation of design deliverables, including automated electrical drawings, P&IDs, and BOM generation from engineering data outputs.
  • Provide advanced troubleshooting support for controls and electrical issues, both internally on the shop floor and remotely for field service and customers.
  • Collaborate closely with cross-functional teams (engineering, production, service) to integrate controls solutions seamlessly into overall system designs.
  • Champion continuous improvement by identifying design and process gaps, proposing solutions, and executing action plans to enhance performance and reliability.
  • Support a fast-paced project environment by managing multiple priorities, meeting tight deadlines, and stepping into technical support calls on short notice when needed.

What will make you successful:
  • Bachelor's degree in Engineering (or equivalent) and at least 5 years of experience in an electrical or controls engineering role, ideally in HVAC, refrigeration, or industrial machinery.
  • Advanced proficiency creating electrical drawings and schematics in AutoCAD (or similar), with a solid grasp of NEC and UL requirements and how to apply them in real-world designs.
  • Proven ability to design, program, and commission PLC-based control systems from the ground up, including at least 5 years of hands-on PLC programming and troubleshooting experience.
  • Strong experience selecting and sizing electrical components (motors, VFDs, breakers, contactors, relays, controllers) and understanding how they interact within complex systems.
  • Demonstrated success troubleshooting both electrical and controls issues in the field or on the floor, with a calm, methodical, and customer-focused approach.
  • Working knowledge of HVAC or refrigeration principles and how controls strategies impact system performance, reliability, and safety.
  • Excellent technical writing and documentation skills, with the ability to create clear procedures, standards, and support materials for production and service teams.
  • Highly self-motivated and independent, able to take full ownership of projects, prioritize effectively, and deliver results with minimal supervision.
  • Strong communication skills, comfortable explaining technical concepts to both engineers and non-technical stakeholders (production, service, and customers).
  • A continuous-improvement mindset and strong work ethic, thriving in a fast-paced environment with changing priorities and occasional peak workloads.
