LTTS•Lima, OH

17h

About The Position

This role involves providing support for installation, commissioning, start-up, and troubleshooting for various control and automation projects. The engineer will be responsible for designing Control System Architecture (CSA), electrical & control panel layouts, control schematic drawings, and Bills of Material (BOM). They will also design, review, and perform safety validation, safety maps, IQ/OQ, and documents for new equipment installation at site. The position requires reviewing vendor and engineering documents, providing support for PLC and HMI programming, and developing/modifying PLC programs and SCADA projects. Integration of equipment systems into the plant, supporting the operation team for existing systems, and working with the project/engineering team for new systems are also key responsibilities. The role includes performing feasibility studies, designing basis documents, and creating detailed engineering technical documents like cable schedules and device lists. Understanding electrical drawings, P&IDs, performing yellow lining, IQOQ, and troubleshooting electrical circuits are essential. The engineer will also support reducing current losses in existing systems, designing control studies/URDs for PLC & HMI programming, and integrating different systems in the plant. Additionally, they will help the team understand the cause of losses based on historical data and design/review technical documents for fabricator/contractor activities. The role requires delivering complex, large-scale projects on time and within budget, complying with NEC, NFPA79, OSHA, S88, and PackML Standards, and performing multi-discipline and vendor coordination for new equipment installation.
