About the role

The Electrical and Instrument Supervisor oversees electrical and instrumentation maintenance activities within a power generation environment. Reporting to the Maintenance Manager, this position leads daily maintenance planning, scheduling, execution, and backlog management for industrial electrical systems, instrumentation and controls, programmable logic controllers (PLCs), data acquisition systems, and related plant equipment.

This is an opportunity for an experienced power plant maintenance professional to lead a skilled team in a safety-focused, 24/7 operating environment. The Electrical and Instrument Supervisor will play a key role in improving equipment reliability, strengthening the preventive maintenance program, reducing downtime and repair costs, and developing employees while partnering closely with Maintenance, Operations, Engineering, contractors, and plant leadership.

The Electrical and Instrument Supervisor directly supervises non-exempt maintenance personnel and serves as the primary point of contact with Operations for daily, weekly, and monthly work planning. Responsibilities include establishing priorities, resolving scheduling and equipment challenges, monitoring maintenance productivity and costs, supporting planned and unplanned outages, and periodically serving as backup to the Maintenance Manager. Because operations run continuously, this position must participate in scheduled on-call coverage and be available to work weekends, nights, outages, or other assigned shifts based on operational needs.

• Resolve competing priorities within Maintenance and between the Maintenance and Operations departments.
• Partner with the Maintenance Manager to align routine work planning with the overall maintenance strategy and budget.
