• Support the reliable operation of site electrical and instrumentation infrastructure, including distribution systems, emergency generators, UPS systems, switch gear, ATS, field instrumentation, and control systems.
• Monitor system performance (electrical and instrumentation) and analyze trends to proactively identify risks to reliability, compliance, and process performance.
• Develop and execute maintenance strategies (preventive, predictive, corrective) for critical electrical systems and process/utility instrumentation (e.g., pressure, temperature, flow, level, and analytical instruments).
• Partner with operations, utilities, automation, and manufacturing teams to ensure uninterrupted support of GMP and non‑GMP facilities.
• Work in a regulated cGxP environment to identify engineering and reliability improvements for site electrical and instrumentation systems.
• Define and support capital and expense projects related to electrical upgrades, instrumentation improvements, system modernization, and reliability enhancements.
• Serve as site Subject Matter Expert (SME) for electrical systems, backup power, and instrumentation supporting process, utilities and facility infrastructure.
• Lead and support system improvements, including development of technical documents and SOPs.
• Lead troubleshooting efforts, root cause analysis, and incident investigations related to electrical systems, instrumentation failures, and control system issues.
• Support lifecycle management of electrical and instrumentation assets, including calibration programs, obsolescence planning, and asset replacement strategies.
• Maintain and manage electrical and instrumentation documentation including single‑line diagrams, loop diagrams, P&IDs, and equipment specifications.
• Ensure compliance with applicable codes and standards (NEC, NFPA, ISA, OSHA) and support site electrical safety and instrumentation calibration programs.
• Support commissioning, qualification, and validation activities for electrical and instrumentation systems.
• Support emergency response and recovery activities for electrical and instrumentation system disruptions.

• Understanding of electrical and instrumentation systems and integration with site infrastructure.
• Experience with calibration systems and data integrity requirements in GMP environments.
• Experience with power monitoring systems and SCADA/BMS interfaces.
• Knowledge of seismic considerations for electrical and instrumentation equipment in California facilities.
• Ability to support 24/7 operations, including off‑hours support as needed.
