A well-established, privately held engineering and manufacturing firm serving Fortune 500 industrial clients across aerospace, aviation, and heavy manufacturing sectors is hiring a Senior Electrical Project Engineer
. The company designs, builds, installs, and commissions turnkey engineered systems — and every project includes custom control panels that power and automate critical components.
100% of employee healthcare costs covered by employer.
This is a senior individual contributor role with real technical ownership. You'll be the go-to electrical engineering expert on a capable, low-attrition team — owning control panel design, PLC programming, and commissioning across a growing book of projects with marquee industrial clients.
This role is for someone who loves the hands-on work. Management experience is not required — what matters here is deep technical knowledge, sharp troubleshooting instincts, and the ability to own a project from design through startup.

- PLC programming across multiple platforms
- Control system architecture for industrial automation applications
- Panel manufacturing oversight and build quality assurance
- Hands‑on troubleshooting on active projects
- System integration of fans, motors, VFDs, and moving components
- Control system startup and commissioning support
- Factory Acceptance Testing (FAT) and on‑site startups (~1–2 days/week travel)
- Client‑facing technical support and system handoff/training
- BSEE preferred; 7+ years of electrical engineering experience in industrial controls
- Strong background in control panel design and manufacturing
- Hands‑on PLC programming capability across multiple platforms
- Experience with motors, VFDs, and industrial automation systems
- Familiarity with UL/regulatory standards (UL583, UL2580, ANSI, ISO, European)
- Strong troubleshooting skills and attention to build quality
- Comfortable in a client‑facing role during commissioning and FAT
- Willingness to travel ~1–2 days/week for project startups
- Management experience is a plus — but not required
