Electrical Engineer - Industrial Power & Controls
Electrical Engineer – Industrial Power & Controls (Manufacturing Plant)
Location: Cressona, Pennsylvania (Onsite)
Compensation: $100,000 – $125,000 + Bonus + Full Benefits
Recruiting Partner: Northwest Talent Solutions (NWTS)
Northwest Talent Solutions is recruiting for a global industrial manufacturing organization operating a large, 24/7 production facility. This is a hands-on plant engineering role , not a desk-based consulting or commercial electrical design position. You will lead electrical capital projects, support equipment startups, and troubleshoot real production equipment alongside maintenance and operations teams.
If you enjoy seeing machinery run because of engineering decisions you made — and you want ownership from design through commissioning — this is the type of role where you will thrive.
What You'll Do:
You will lead electrical engineering and controls work for capital projects and equipment upgrades across a heavy manufacturing environment.
Key responsibilities:
-
Execute capital projects from scope definition through installation and start-up
-
Design and specify electrical power and control systems (primarily 480VAC)
-
Support equipment installation, commissioning, and hand-off to operations
-
Troubleshoot electrical and automation issues on production equipment
-
Work with maintenance teams, operators, and contractors on the shop floor
-
Manage vendors and outside contractors safely and efficiently
-
Review and approve electrical drawings, equipment specifications, and proposals
-
Support and improve industrial automation systems
-
Recommend upgrades to improve reliability, safety, and throughput
-
Ensure compliance with NFPA 70E, NEC, and safety standards
What You Bring:
-
Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or related field
-
5+ years electrical engineering experience in a manufacturing or industrial plant
-
Hands-on experience with 480VAC industrial power systems
-
PLC, HMI, and SCADA troubleshooting experience (Rockwell/Allen-Bradley preferred)
-
Experience with MCCs, VFDs, and industrial automation equipment
-
Capital project leadership from design through commissioning
-
Ability to coordinate contractors and cross-functional plant teams
-
Comfort working directly on a plant floor and evaluating equipment
Preferred Experience:
-
Metals processing, extrusion, casting, fabrication, or heavy industry
-
Mill-grade equipment installation
-
Combustion, hydraulic, or pneumatic systems
-
Industrial reliability or maintenance engineering
-
High-speed production environments
Why This Role Stands Out:
-
Visible impact on production uptime and plant performance
-
Large-scale capital projects ($1M–$40M)
-
Stable manufacturing environment
-
Long-term career growth
-
Full benefits and relocation support
This opportunity is ideal for a Plant Electrical Engineer, Controls Engineer, Automation Engineer, Power Systems Engineer, or Industrial Electrical Engineer who wants ownership and real-world engineering responsibility in a manufacturing setting.
