Plant Electrical Systems Engineer

Design your career where others vacation — on the shores of Lake Michigan.

Morning starts with a quick walk-through of the Manistique paper mill, a 24/7 operation producing 100% recycled brown kraft paper rolls. You review overnight logs, partner with Operations on a reliability concern, and jump in hands‑on to diagnose an instrumentation signal. By mid‑morning, you're collaborating with Maintenance to plan a preventive upgrade; after lunch, you meet with Engineering to advance a capital project from concept toward commissioning.

Before the day wraps, you update safety action items and capture cost savings from process optimizations you helped implement on the plant floor.

• Champion safety programs and best practices across mill operations.
• Provide electrical engineering leadership to modernize systems and enhance reliability.
• Troubleshoot and optimize production equipment in real time.
• Own and support capital projects from idea through execution and startup.
• Collaborate cross-functionally to drive process improvements and technology adoption.
• Deliver measurable gains in efficiency, cost reduction, and equipment uptime.
• Serve as a technical resource to Operations and Maintenance teams.
• Advance strategic initiatives in safety, sustainability, and operational excellence.

• Degree in Electrical Engineering or equivalent experience.
• Proven troubleshooting and problem‑solving strength in manufacturing environments.
• Clear, collaborative communicator who thrives in a fast‑paced setting.
• Proficiency with Microsoft Office and web‑based systems.
• Hands‑on mindset with a drive to make visible impact on the plant floor.
• Background valued: manufacturing, paper, pulp, converting, industrial automation, or heavy industrial.
