Title:
Project Electrical Engineer (Electrical Project Design & PLC troubleshooting) Location:
New Berlin, WI Pay:
$45-$60 per hour + any overtime pay Type:
9-month contract (chance of extension or conversion to permanent/direct hire) Project Work : 75% electrical design, 25% PLC troubleshooting Travel:
little-to-none (not a traveling position) Position Summary: This Electrical Project Engineer will work with our equipment, supporting Factory Acceptance Testing (FAT), Site Acceptance Testing (SAT) coupled with final commissioning. This engineer will be able to read/design electrical schematics, use AutoCAD Electrical, perform electrical calculations, troubleshoot PLCs using ladder logic and design HMI applications (primarily Rockwell and Siemens), perform field startups & testing, work in industrial environments, have detailed knowledge of electric motor controls, utility circuits, safety circuits, and operator controls. This engineer will be able to trouble shoot and resolve problems including but not limited to circuit breakers, transformers, motor starters, contactors, relays, A.C./D.C. inverters, braking resistors, etc. Primary Responsibilities: Function as a lead electrical engineer and provide technical supervision to other electrical engineers, technicians, craft, and other workers on a daily basis for the site/office. Work with the project manager to establish work requirements, determine what is needed at the site to keep customer acceptance moving forward, meet schedules, and daily review of work activities. Work and support the Installation Site Supervisor. Be able to trouble shoot and update/modify computer programs such as PLC code or HMI programs that automate specific business processes. Be able to understand, read, design, and mark up single line diagrams, schematics, panel layouts, interconnect, and conduit drawings released by Engineering. These as-built drawings and mark-ups must be returned to Engineering so configuration control can be maintained. Calculate wire sizes, drive sizes, braking resistors, transformers, contactors, and overload protection for any model product up to 800 volts D.C. and up to 4160 volts A.C. from schematics or other information provided by customer specifications using appropriate electrical codes and appropriate standards. Excellent customer relations attitude: the individual needs to be a solution-oriented person that will work to satisfy the customer and complete the testing/start up as expeditiously as possible. The willingness and drive to self-teach/learn new material and understand design concepts. Provide input to design improvements by providing information to the chief engineer that shows improved functions and/or cost reduction. Qualifications: 4-year Electrical Engineering degree (BSEE, BSEET) or equivalent preferred Knowledgeable with using and applying the NEC electrical code, UL508a including international standards PLC troubleshooting
(Allen Bradley or Siemens;you do not need to program from scratch or create your own programs) Strong background in electrical project design
(AutoCAD/AutoCAD Electrical experience preferred) Experience with FAT and SAT testing Preferred:
Experience with the following: 5 to 10 years of electrical engineering experience in doing field startups, wiring, PLC and HMI programming, and experience in setting up variable frequency drives. Rockwell PLC/HMI, Siemens PLC/HMI, Magnetek VFDs, Siemens VFDs programming preferred. Ability to lead and work with others to maximize their productivity. Extremely important is the ability to be customer focused and work with even the most challenging individuals.
