Electrical engineer

The Electrical Engineer oversees the design, installation, maintenance, and troubleshooting of electrical infrastructure, automation systems, and high-capacity refrigeration controls in a cold-chain food manufacturing environment. This role ensures maximum equipment uptime, energy efficiency, and strict adherence to electrical safety and food hygiene standards (HACCP, ISO 22000, OSHA). Key Responsibilities Plant Automation & Controls: Program, troubleshoot, and maintain PLCs (Siemens, Allen-Bradley), HMIs, and SCADA networks across automated processing, spiral freezers, and packaging lines. Refrigeration & Power Infrastructure: Manage sub-distribution panels, VFDs, transformers, backup generators, and electrical controls for industrial ammonia/Freon refrigeration plants. Preventive & Corrective Maintenance: Execute preventive maintenance schedules for electrical assets to minimize unplanned downtime in low-temperature (-18°C to -40°C) environments. Washdown & Hygienic Compliance: Ensure all enclosures, wiring, and sensors satisfy IP65/IP69 K washdown ratings to withstand daily high-pressure chemical sanitation. Project Engineering: Lead electrical design, power distribution upgrades, and control integration for capital expenditure (Cap Ex) projects and new line installations. Safety & Compliance: Enforce Lockout/Tagout (LOTO) protocols, arc flash safety, national electrical codes, and workplace hygiene regulations. Qualifications & Skills Education: Bachelor’s Degree in Electrical Engineering, Automation Engineering, or Mechatronics. Experience: 3-5+ years in an industrial manufacturing plant (preference for FMCG, frozen food, dairy, or cold storage). Technical Proficiency: Hands-on PLC programming (Ladder Logic, Structured Text) and VFD parameterization. Deep understanding of industrial instrumentation (temperature, pressure, level, and flow sensors). Schematic reading and CAD software proficiency (Auto CAD Electrical, EPLAN). Key Competencies: Strong root-cause analysis skills, capability to work in cold storage conditions, and cross-functional collaboration with maintenance and sanitation teams. #J-18808-Ljbffr
