Electrical Engineer

Trueline, a long-established American manufacturer of pipe, flow control, and fire protection products, is seeking an Electrical Engineer - Facilities and Power Distribution to own the electrical infrastructure at their 650,000-square-foot manufacturing campus in Columbia, PA. You'll be the go-to expert for high- and medium-voltage power, from the plant's own substation through its distribution network, during a period of major upgrades and growth.

The role pays a base salary of $100,000-$130,000 plus an annual bonus.

The site includes a foundry and a machine shop, runs around the clock, and is growing: headcount is heading from about 850 toward 1,000, and output is rising. The right person is a hands-on engineer who's as comfortable in the field as at a desk, and who wants to make a lasting mark on a critical piece of American manufacturing infrastructure.

• Document the complete distribution network, from incoming utility power through the unit substations and 480V distribution down to individual panels, building accurate one-line diagrams and asset records where none exist today
• Develop specifications, scopes of work, and bid packages for electrical infrastructure and upgrade projects
• Review, inspect, and approve vendor designs and electrical plans for compliance with company standards
• Perform field investigations to gather data, verify installations, identify tie-ins, and support construction and commissioning
• Coordinate and direct electrical contractors, inspect completed work, and hold installations to specification
• Determine power loads and energy requirements for new equipment and facility upgrades
• Develop and manage project schedules, milestones, and budgets
• Partner with the utility provider and outside stakeholders on service upgrades, outages, and infrastructure projects
• Build and improve NFPA 70B-aligned preventive maintenance programs for substations, transformers, switch gear, and distribution equipment
• Lead electrical planning for annual shutdowns and major outages to minimize disruption to a 24/7 operation
• Support electrical safety, equipment criticality assessments, and long-term reliability planning
• Work with modern controls and power monitoring systems tied to distribution
• Support Purchasing with bidder lists and bid reviews
• Respond to electrical issues around the clock as needed in a continuous operation

• 5+ years of experience in electrical engineering, power distribution, facilities engineering, utilities, or heavy industrial environments
• Experience with industrial medium-voltage distribution, including substations, switch gear, transformers, and protective relays
• Strong working knowledge of NFPA 70, NFPA 70E, and NFPA 70B
• Experience creating and maintaining one-line diagrams and electrical asset records
• Proven hands-on field experience troubleshooting, verifying installations, and supporting commissioning and outages
• Experience managing contractors, bids, schedules, and budgets
• Comfort working in a heavy industrial environment, including a foundry with heat, noise, molten metal, and heavy forklift traffic
• Willingness to respond to electrical issues outside normal hours in a 24/7 facility
• Bachelor's degree in electrical engineering or a related field, or equivalent industrial power distribution experience

• Experience in a foundry, metals, steel, mining, chemical, power generation, or other heavy industrial plant
• A utility, transmission, or substation engineering background with field and construction exposure
• Experience supporting large distribution networks with multiple substations
• Experience working directly with utilities on service upgrades and outages
• Experience implementing NFPA 70B maintenance and asset management programs
• Working knowledge of PLCs, drives, and power monitoring systems
• Experience planning shutdowns in a 24/7 manufacturing environment

• Base salary of $100,000-$130,000, with flexibility for an exceptional candidate
• Annual bonus opportunity
• A competitive relocation package
