Description
About the RoleWe're hiring a hands-on
Electrical Engineer to design and support industrial control panels and electrical systems from concept through production.
You'll work across the full project lifecycle-understanding customer requirements, developing electrical designs, supporting procurement and manufacturing, resolving issues, and ensuring projects are delivered on time, within budget, and to a high standard of quality.
This is not a role where you simply create drawings and hand them off. You'll stay close to the work, collaborate directly with manufacturing and supply chain, participate in customer discussions, and help solve problems when challenges arise.
You'll work side-by-side with other Engineers, Project Managers, Sales, manufacturing, and customers. We're looking for an engineer who is technically capable, highly accountable, communicates reliably, and takes ownership of their work.
If you enjoy turning requirements into practical electrical solutions, solving problems, and seeing your designs become real products, you'll fit right in.
What We're Looking For - 2-5 years of experience with electrical control systems, industrial controls, or electrical engineering
- Strong technical problem-solving skills and the ability to turn requirements into practical solutions
- Excellent verbal, written, and listening communication skills
- Strong attention to detail and a commitment to producing accurate, high-quality work
- Ability to identify problems, take action, and follow through to resolution
- Ability to work independently while also collaborating effectively with a broader engineering team
- Strong organizational skills and the ability to manage multiple priorities and deadlines
- Comfortable working directly with customers, manufacturing personnel, and cross-functional teams
- A high level of ownership, reliability, and accountability
- Willingness to learn, take feedback, and continuously improve technical and business skills
