Onsite - Florence, SC

Working as an Electrical Engineer, you will support the design and development of electrical engineering packages for Medium and Low Voltage systems such as Motor Control Centers (MCCs), switch gear, and circuit breakers.

This role is designed for early-career engineers and focuses on building strong technical capabilities in electrical schematics, control systems, and equipment design, while supporting senior engineers and cross-functional teams.

You will work closely with manufacturing, quality, supply chain, and engineering teams to deliver accurate, compliant, and on-time engineering solutions.

• Support execution of electrical design activities for industrial power equipment projects (MV/LV)
• Develop electrical schematics, wiring diagrams, and control drawings using tools such as EPLAN P8, AutoCAD, or similar
• Create and maintain Bills of Materials (BOMs) aligned with engineering standards and customer requirements
• Review and interpret technical specifications and customer requirements
• Provide hands-on engineering support to production, resolving electrical and documentation issues
• Collaborate with Mechanical Engineering, Quality, Supply Chain, and Manufacturing to ensure smooth project execution
• Participate in design validation and continuous improvement initiatives

• Support manufacturing during build and test phases to resolve electrical issues quickly
• Interface with supply chain to clarify component selection and substitutions
• Assist quality teams with non-conformance investigations and corrective actions
• Work with senior engineers to implement engineering changes (ECR/ECO/ECN process)

• Reports any integrity, compliance, safety, cybersecurity, quality, contract, program, and cost issues to the management and / or project manager(s) for resolution.
• Ensures that engineering activities and deliverables comply with safety regulations and cybersecurity regulations and standards and contractual requirements.
• Ensures that Bill of Materials (BOM) for the project meets contractual obligations.
• Identifies and implements change / variation requests based on the approval from project manager.
• Ensures the project meets the technical requirements of the contract and is technically completed as part of contract closure activities.

• Bachelor's degree in electrical engineering
• Preferred 3 years of experience (internships or co-op experience)
• Understanding of electrical systems, schematics, and control circuits
• Familiarity with low and medium voltage equipment concepts (MCCs, switch gear, breakers)
• Exposure to CAD tools such as EPLAN P8, AutoCAD, or similar
• Ability to read and interpret electrical drawings and technical specifications
• Strong problem-solving mindset with willingness to learn in a fast-paced environment
• Good communication skills and ability to work in cross-functional teams
• Detail-oriented with focus on accuracy in engineering documentation
• Internship or academic project experience related to power systems or industrial equipment
• Basic understanding of protection and control systems (relays, interlocks, control logic)
• Exposure to industry standards such as IEEE, ANSI, UL, or NEMA
• Experience working in or supporting a manufacturing environment
• Familiarity with PLM systems (e.g., Windchill) and ERP systems (e.g., SAP)
• Understanding of panel wiring, testing and ability to troubleshoot
