• Troubleshoot and repair electrical components of HVAC, utility equipment (e.g., chillers, boilers, air compressors), and manufacturing process equipment
• Execute electrical installations, modifications, and upgrades in strict adherence to NFPA 70 (NEC) and NFPA 70E safety standards

• Perform routine maintenance and repair of critical process and utility instrumentation, including but not limited to pressure, temperature, flow and level
• Utilize calibration standards and test equipment (e.g., decade boxes, field calibrators, loop calibrators) for reference, to ensure instrumentation accuracy and reliability
• Maintain accurate and compliant calibration records for audit readiness by licensing authorities

• Provide advanced troubleshooting support for the Building Automation Management System (BAMS) controllers, network devices, and user interface software
• Work with Process Control Systems (PCS) like PLCs (e.g., Siemens, Rockwell/Allen-Bradley) and HMIs (Human-Machine Interfaces) to diagnose control loop issues and sensor failures
• Interpret and modify control logic, ladder diagrams, and functional specifications to resolve system faults and optimize control sequences for utility and HVAC systems in accordance with established risk assessment and change control procedures

• Accurately complete all work orders and maintenance logs in the CMMS (Computerized Maintenance Management System)
• Strictly adhere to all cGMP, SOP (Standard Operating Procedures), and site safety protocols, including, but not limited to, Lockout/Tagout (LOTO) and Arc Flash procedures
• Assist in generating and reviewing technical documentation, Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), and change control documents

• High School Diploma or GED required
• Associate's Degree or Vocational/Technical training in Electrical Technology, Instrumentation, or Industrial Controls highly preferred

• Preferred: ISA CCST (Certified Control System Technician) Level I or higher, or equivalent industry certification
• Certified Electrician certification (Journeyman Certificate, license, etc)

• 10+ years of hands-on experience in industrial maintenance, specifically focusing on electrical systems, instrumentation, and controls in a highly regulated environment
• Minimum 5 years of experience in the Life Sciences or Pharmaceutical manufacturing industry is mandatory, with a proven track record of working under cGMP and regulatory scrutiny (e.g., FDA, EMA)

• Expert knowledge of low-voltage industrial electrical systems and motor controls
• Advanced proficiency in troubleshooting BAMS (e.g., Siemens Apogee/Desigo, Johnson Controls Metasys) and/or industrial PLC/DCS platforms
• Exceptional ability to read and interpret electrical schematics, Piping and Instrumentation Diagrams (P&IDs), and loop diagrams
• Excellent communication, teamwork, and problem-solving skills in a fast-paced environment

• Must be able to lift up to 50 pounds
• Ability to work in confined spaces, at heights, and in varying environmental conditions (e.g., mechanical rooms, clean rooms)
• Ability to stand, walk, climb ladders, and kneel for extended periods

• Full-time position
• Requires participation in an on-call rotation to provide 24/7 emergency support for critical systems
