PIP Global Safety•Charleston, SC

15d

About The Position

An Electrical Engineer at a PSM manufacturing company designs, develops, and maintains electrical systems while ensuring compliance with safety regulations. This engineering role balances technical design with the rigorous safety standards of Process Safety Management (PSM), which is essential in industries that handle highly hazardous chemicals. The position involves designing and testing electrical systems for manufacturing equipment, participating in PSM activities, developing automation and controls, supporting manufacturing and maintenance teams, and managing capital projects. The engineer collaborates across disciplines and maintains technical documentation throughout project lifecycles.

Requirements

Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or a related field.
Typically 2–5 years of related electrical engineering experience, often in manufacturing or industrial settings.
Experience in a PSM-regulated environment.
Proficiency in electrical CAD software, such as AutoCAD Electrical or EPLAN.
Experience with industrial automation, including PLCs, HMIs, and Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs).
Knowledge of electrical power distribution systems, instrumentation, and control networks.
Familiarity with industry codes and standards, such as NEC, NFPA, and IEEE.
Strong analytical, problem-solving, and troubleshooting skills.
Excellent communication skills for collaborating with technical and non-technical teams.
Ability to manage multiple projects and priorities in a dynamic environment.

Responsibilities

Design, simulate, and test electrical systems, components, and circuits for new and existing manufacturing equipment.
Create and revise electrical schematics, wiring diagrams, and layouts using CAD software such as AutoCAD or EPLAN.
Participate in Process Safety Management activities, including Process Hazard Analyses (PHAs) and Pre-Startup Safety Reviews (PSSRs), to ensure electrical designs comply with applicable safety standards.
Design and program control systems using Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs) and Human-Machine Interfaces (HMIs).
Optimize control systems for efficiency and reliability.
Provide technical support to manufacturing and maintenance teams to troubleshoot electrical issues and resolve equipment failures.
Develop maintenance and testing procedures for electrical equipment.
Plan and execute small to medium capital projects related to equipment upgrades and process improvements, including budgets, timelines, and procurement specifications.
Collaborate with mechanical, software, and other engineering disciplines, as well as production and management, to ensure projects meet requirements.
Create and maintain technical documentation, engineering reports, and project records.
