  • Apply sound engineering judgment to intrinsic safety and explosion-proof classifications, electrical specifications, and equipment selection. 

  • Troubleshoot motor systems, direct drive systems, and VFD applications, including specification and selection of replacement components. 

  • Support troubleshooting, installation, and repair of valves, actuators, field instruments, and related process control devices. 

  • Collaborate with reliability and maintenance partners to ensure calibration compliance and reliable performance of field instrumentation. 

  • Maintain current and accurate P&IDs, wiring diagrams, electrical drawings, and instrument loop documentation. 

  • Ensure compliance with NFPA 70E, NEC, local regulations, and site procedures to prevent accidents and maintain safe electrical work practices. 

  • Collaborate on audits, safety observations, 5S initiatives, needs assessments, and routine management activities to identify improvement opportunities and solve problems. 

  • Supervise, train, mentor, and direct I&E technicians while promoting quality, accountability, and safe work execution. 

  • Partner with operations, maintenance, engineering, management, and external vendors to resolve issues, support system improvements, and coordinate equipment or service needs. 

  • Track direct report hours, absences, vacations, and support performance review activities as needed. 

 QUALIFICATIONS - REQUIRED 

  • Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or a closely related engineering field. 

  • 5+ years of industrial experience with strong exposure to electrical systems, equipment reliability, or maintenance engineering.
