Are you the person everyone calls when it’s time to energize?
If your sweet spot is where heavy industrial power meets controls and automation, this role on a new greenfield steel mill in Apple Grove, West Virginia is for you. You’ll guide a site transitioning from construction to commissioning to production—owning the details, coordinating the players, and getting systems started safely and on time.
What you’ll do
- Drive installation support, testing, commissioning, and startup of electrical and production assets.
- Provide technical oversight for high/low voltage distribution: substations, switchgear, transformers, MCCs, and motors.
- Troubleshoot electrical, controls, instrumentation, and integration issues during commissioning.
- Review and validate single-lines, schematics, equipment specs, cable schedules, and vendor packages.
- Coordinate contractors, OEMs, vendors, and systems integrators against scope, schedule, and standards.
- Support PLC-based equipment, VFDs, motor controls, instrumentation, and Level 1 automation.
- Verify installations conform to drawings, technical specifications, codes, and site standards.
- Execute checkout, loop checks, functional testing, energization, startup, and turnover.
- Surface conflicts early and implement practical field fixes to keep progress moving.
- Develop punch lists, track issues, maintain documentation, and close out systems for acceptance.
- Engage operations and maintenance to ensure safe, reliable, maintainable systems.
- Coach early-career engineers and promote safe work practices across activities.
What you bring
- BS in Electrical Engineering (or related).
- 10+ years in steel/metals/manufacturing or similar heavy-industry environments.
- Robust experience with industrial power distribution (high and low voltage).
- Hands-on with MCCs, motors, VFDs, motor controls, PLCs, instrumentation, and automation.
- Background in installation support, commissioning, startup, and field troubleshooting.
- Ability to interpret drawings, specifications, schematics, and vendor documents.
- History of coordinating contractors, OEMs, consultants, and integrators.
- Independent field decision-maker with strong communication and leadership skills.
- Willing to work on-site in Apple Grove, West Virginia.
Good to know
This is not a strictly PLC programming position—breadth across power, controls, automation, project execution, and commissioning is essential.
Who thrives here
Engineers who can switch from a drawing review to a motor lineup checkout without missing a beat—keeping safety, schedule, quality, and reliability in view—will excel and become trusted technical resources from installation through startup and turnover.
