As a trusted technical partner to global manufacturing teams, you will support the engineering, development, programming, troubleshooting, and lifecycle management of automation and process control solutions across a variety of smelting operations, including potrooms, casthouses, utilities, laboratories, environmental systems, and material handling. Working closely with plant teams, ITAS colleagues, and centers of excellence, you will also manage projects from concept through deployment, drive compliance and system modernization initiatives, and deliver innovative solutions that create measurable value across our global operations.
About the Role:

  • Perform application integration and programming work, including oversight for work done by third party for common solutions
  • Deploy common solutions across multiple regions and locations where GPP has current operating facilities, supporting common solutions across multiple time zones and cultures and the established effective support models
  • Build relationships and align regional and location resources to the GPP Manufacturing Solutions strategy.
  • Assist locations in the development of funding requests for the deployment of automation and process control systems
  • Conduct solid project management for deployment, support, or upgrading actions
  • Meet all required Alcoa Audit, Engineering Standards, and compliance expectations for the development, deployment, and support of the process control and automation systems

What you can bring to this role:
  • Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering.
  • 5-10 years of experience designing, developing, commissioning, and supporting automation and process control systems in an industrial or manufacturing environment.
  • Demonstrated experience managing projects, including scope development, estimating, scheduling, and execution.
  • Hands-on experience with PLC programming and troubleshooting; experience with Rockwell Automation hardware and software is strongly preferred.
  • Proficiency in C++ programming and application development.
  • Knowledge of process control and industrial automation technologies, including PLCs, HMIs, SCADA systems, process computers, instrumentation, and integrated manufacturing systems.
  • Experience with system integration, application development, and technical architecture design.
  • Understanding of manufacturing operations and operational support processes.
  • Strong analytical, troubleshooting, and problem-solving skills with the ability to resolve complex technical issues.
  • Proven ability to collaborate effectively across multiple locations, teams, and organizational levels.
  • Experience leading projects, influencing stakeholders, and working within cross-functional teams.
  • Demonstrated people leadership, mentoring, or team coordination experience is preferred.
  • Ability and willingness to travel globally as business needs require.

What we offer:

  • Flexible spending accounts and generous employer contribution to the HSA
  • 401(k), employer match up to 6%, additional employer retirement income contribution (no vesting period), and a non-qualified deferred compensation plan
