Job description

Job Description
E&I Engineer (Electrical & Instrumentation - Reliability Focus)

Own the reliability of an entire site's electrical systems
We're hiring an E&I Engineer to serve as the technical authority for site electrical systems - driving reliability, preventing failures, and ensuring safe, efficient operations.

What you'll do
  • Own performance of medium & low voltage systems across the site
  • Lead root cause failure analysis (RCFA) and eliminate repeat issues
  • Drive preventive & predictive maintenance (PM/PdM) strategies
  • Support capital projects (design review, equipment selection, scoping)
  • Ensure compliance with NFPA, IEEE, NEMA, and hazardous area standards

  • Troubleshoot issues in a real-world plant environment - not just from a desk

Mindset:
  • Strong troubleshooting approach with a focus on fixing issues for good, not quick fixes
  • Comfortable partnering with maintenance and operations teams
  • Confident acting as a site-wide electrical subject matter expert

Experience:
  • 3+ years' experience E&I, electrical, or reliability roles

Education
  • Bachelor's Degree and 3+ years' experience
  • or Associates/Technical Degree and 7+ years' experience in E&I, electrical, or reliability roles
  • ISA or EPRI Instrumentation Certification Preferred

Why this role
  • Be the go-to electrical expert for a manufacturing site
  • Drive real uptime, safety, and reliability improvements
  • Work cross-functionally with operations, maintenance, and engineering

If you're someone who asks, "how do we make sure this never happens again?" - we want to talk.
Pay Range: $90,000 - $120,000+
The salary range for this position is determined by considering a variety of factors such as skills, experience, qualifications, and the location of the position.
At Stepan Company our comprehensive benefits package includes:
  • Discretionary Bonus
  • Medical, Dental, and Vision Insurance
  • 401K with Match
  • Profit Sharing
  • Paid Time Off (PTO)
  • Short-Term and Long-Term Disability (STD / LTD)
