About The Position

Packaging Corporation of America (PCA), a Fortune 500 company, is seeking resumes for an electrical engineering co-op. This application may lead to three potential job titles depending on mill needs: an electrical reliability engineering co-op, an electrical project engineering co-op, or a process control engineering co-op. The primary responsibilities of each are detailed below. Electrical Reliability Engineering Co-Op: Support electrical reliability assignments that improve mill safety, equipment performance, operational efficiency, and cost effectiveness. Work with reliability engineers, maintenance, operations, and mill personnel to troubleshoot electrical and equipment reliability issues. Apply predictive and preventive maintenance techniques to improve equipment reliability and support root-cause failure analyses. Assist with special reliability projects and additional assignments that support safe, efficient, and reliable mill operations. Additional duties as requested by management. Electrical Project Engineering Co-Op: Support electrical project engineering assignments involving planning, design, installation, commissioning, and startup of mill electrical equipment. Assist with electrical equipment projects, including motors, MCCs, lighting, valves, switches, sensors, cameras, instrumentation, and related systems. Use AutoCAD, P&ID drawings, process information systems, Trident, Microsoft Office, and other company software to update drawings, create new project documentation, and maintain equipment files. Coordinate with project engineers, operations, contractors, maintenance shops, and other disciplines to support safe project execution, installation, and startup. Support project management activities such as scope development, schedule coordination, cost tracking, contractor oversight, and communication with mill personnel. Additional duties as requested by management. Process Control Engineering Co-Op: Support process control engineers, instrument technicians, and mill operations with troubleshooting, advanced process control, DCS, and control system improvement efforts. Use process information systems, Microsoft Office, Trident, AutoCAD, and other company software to update drawings, equipment files, functional specifications, and control documentation. Assist with system audits, loop checks, I/O checkout, startup support, and correction of control system documentation and wiring records during outages or down days. Collect, enter, and analyze process and control systems data to support troubleshooting, reliability, process optimization, and business decision-making. Additional duties as requested by management.
