Plant Electrical and Instrumentation Engineer

Design systems that keep a mill running—and design a life on Lake Michigan.

A day in your new life

Morning light on Lake Michigan, a short commute through the Upper Peninsula, and a walk across a 24/7 paper mill where your decisions are felt in real time. You’ll move from the control room to the production floor, huddle with Maintenance and Operations, and turn tough problems into steady performance. One hour you’re commissioning an upgrade; the next, you’re de-bottlenecking a line or planning a capital improvement that will lift reliability for years.
