Electrical Controls Engineer
I’m working with a growing equipment manufacturer that is looking to add an Electrical Engineer to its engineering team.
This is a hands-on design role focused on the electrical and controls side of custom automated machinery and equipment. It could be a great fit for someone who enjoys taking projects from specifications through detailed electrical design and ultimately seeing that equipment come to life.
What You’ll Be Doing:
- Design electrical and control systems for custom automated equipment
- Develop electrical schematics, control panel layouts, bills of materials, and field wiring documentation
- Work closely with project managers, sales, and controls/PLC engineers
- Select and incorporate components such as PLC hardware, sensors, encoders, photo eyes, operator interfaces, and industrial communication networks
- Design systems in accordance with UL, NFPA, NEC, OSHA, and applicable Canadian/international electrical standards
- Modify and upgrade controls on existing machinery while maintaining safety and code compliance
- Support projects involving hazardous-area electrical classifications when required
- Participate in customer site visits, commissioning, troubleshooting, and technical discussions
- Approximately 10% travel, including occasional international travel
What We’re Looking For:
- Associate degree in Engineering/CAD, EET, BSEE, or equivalent relevant experience
- Approximately 3-5+ years of related electrical engineering/design experience
- Strong understanding of electrical power, current flow, and automated control systems
- Proficiency with AutoCAD and AutoCAD Electrical
- Familiarity with PLC-based automation and industrial control systems
- Autodesk Inventor experience is a plus
- Knowledge of electrical codes and industrial machine safety standards
- Strong analytical and problem-solving skills
If you’re an electrical professional who enjoys automation, machinery, control panels, and seeing your designs become real equipment, I’d be happy to share more details privately.
