Electrical Engineer

The hands-on Process Control Engineer is responsible for improving the efficiency, reliability,

and performance of manufacturing processes and equipment throughout EIS's North

American operations. This role focuses on troubleshooting electrical control systems,

programming, implementing PLC-based automation, modernizing existing machine controls,

and developing standardized control solutions across multiple facilities.

Working directly with engineering, production and maintenance teams, the engineer will

identify equipment issues, implement practical improvements, reduce downtime, and improve

productivity, quality, and safety. The position requires a strong combination of electrical

engineering knowledge, practical troubleshooting skills, and experience designing,

programming, and implementing industrial control systems.

• Design, program, install, and troubleshoot PLC-based and computer-based control systems.
• Provide hands-on electrical and controls support to maintenance and production to improve equipment reliability and reduce downtime.
• Identify and implement improvements in safety, quality, productivity, and operating costs.
• Lead controls upgrades, automation projects, equipment commissioning, and startup.
• Coordinate with suppliers, equipment manufacturers, contractors, and outside engineering resources as needed.
• Maintain control-system backups, documentation, and recovery procedures.
• Work with IT to ensure secure and reliable manufacturing equipment networks.
• Develop and implement inspection systems using machine vision, sensors, and other automation technologies.
• Collaborate with engineering, maintenance, production, and plant leadership to implement improvements across EIS facilities.

• Improve manufacturing efficiency and reduce operating costs through equipment optimization, automation, and process improvements.
• Lead and support manufacturing digital transformation initiatives, including AI applications, SCADA, MES, and connected manufacturing systems.
• Lead continuous improvement efforts using root-cause analysis and proven problem-solving methods.
• Support capital equipment projects, new installations, and modernization of existing manufacturing systems.
• Provide controls engineering support to EIS facilities across North America, including travel as required.
• Maintain technical documentation, control-system standards, and best practices to improve equipment reliability, maintainability, and consistency across EIS facilities.

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Electrical Engineering Technology, or a related technical discipline.
• Minimum of eight years of experience in electrical engineering, industrial automation, or manufacturing controls within a manufacturing environment.
• Demonstrated hands-on experience programming, wiring, troubleshooting, and modifying industrial electrical control systems.
• Strong working knowledge of PLCs, machine automation, electrical schematics, motor controls, sensors, and industrial control systems.
• Proven ability to diagnose equipment problems, identify root causes, and implement practical, reliable solutions.
• Strong analytical, problem-solving, and technical decision-making skills.
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills, with the ability to work effectively with production personnel, maintenance technicians, suppliers, and management.
• Ability to work independently, manage multiple priorities, and deliver results with.
• Strong people skills and the ability to build effective working relationships across departments and facilities.
• Willingness and ability to travel to other EIS locations as required to support manufacturing operations and engineering projects.
