About The Position
ENTEK is seeking an experienced Project Electrical Engineer to join its team in Terre Haute, Indiana. The role supports planning, design, construction, testing, commissioning, and continuous improvement of electrical systems for manufacturing facilities and utility infrastructure. The engineer executes assigned projects from concept through operational turnover, collaborating with internal teams and external partners to deliver safe, reliable, maintainable, and code-compliant solutions. The position supports facility expansion, infrastructure upgrades, equipment installations, and operational excellence initiatives in a fast-paced manufacturing environment. Work takes place in office, manufacturing, construction, substation, and commissioning environments. Domestic and occasional international travel may be required. Appropriate PPE is required where applicable. The employee may work near moving mechanical parts and may occasionally be exposed to fumes or airborne particles, toxic or caustic chemicals, high or precarious places, and outside weather conditions. Production-area noise is usually loud, and the employee will frequently be exposed to the production area.
