Responsibilities

Lead and manage electrical installation crews focused on low-voltage device installation and configuration for MHE systems across North American facilities
Direct installation of field devices including photo eyes, proximity sensors, encoders, limit switches, E-stop devices, pull cords, safety devices, scanners, VFDs, I/O blocks, zone controllers, actuators, operator stations, stack lights, and industrial communication/fieldbus cabling (Ethernet/IP, Profinet, EtherCAT, AS-i)
Oversee VFD installation, mounting, power connections, and control wiring
Manage I/O block installation, wiring, and terminal connections per I/O lists and wiring diagrams
Direct installation of zone controllers, actuators, operator stations, and stack lights
Oversee E-stop cable system installation including cable runs, tensioning, I-bolt and pulley placement, and pull cord routing
Oversee sensor mounting, orientation, and alignment to ensure proper detection coverage
Oversee 24VDC control circuit wiring, device terminations, and panel-to-device connections
Oversee fieldbus and industrial communication cabling installation (Ethernet/IP, Profinet, EtherCAT, AS-i) with attention to routing, labeling, addressing, and termination quality
Manage parameter setting and programming for all field devices including dip switches, photo eye training, sensor calibration, and VFD configuration
Oversee match-mark cable connections to verify correct device-to-panel wiring
Lead electrical QC activities including I/O verification — checking for shorts, breaks, stretched wires, and confirming wire labels match drawings
Verify sensor functionality, detection ranges, and operational parameters before handoff to controls commissioning
Manage E-stop system testing and verification across all installed zones
Manage side cover installation on completed conveyor sections
Manage electrical device punchlist identification and repair
Partner with controls commissioning team to validate system readiness for energization
Ensure cable management, wire labeling, and device labeling meet standards before zone closeout

Experience in engineering including a supervisory role managing people
Experience in a fast-paced, automated, industrial, logistics, production or manufacturing environment
5+ years of experience in industrial electrical installation, controls installation, automation deployment, or a similar technical environment
Experience leading or supervising electrical device installation crews, controls technicians, or field execution teams
Experience reading and interpreting device layout drawings, I/O lists, wiring diagrams, and control panel drawings
Experience with low-voltage control systems including 24VDC circuits, field devices, sensors, VFDs, and industrial communication networks
Ability to travel up to 50% domestically; travel may exceed 50% in some instances with short notice

Skills

Technical expertise for low-voltage control systems, 24VDC circuits, field devices, and industrial communication networks
Review and interpret device layout drawings, I/O lists, wiring diagrams, control panel drawings, and fieldbus addressing schedules
Create and maintain technical documentation including device installation SOPs, configuration checklists, and QC verification procedures
Identify, troubleshoot, and resolve device installation issues that may impact commissioning readiness or system functionality
Recommend and implement process improvements to increase device installation efficiency and first-pass quality
Coordinate device installation activities with power distribution teams, mechanical installation, controls engineering, IT/network teams, and vendors
Manage zone sequencing with the Power Distribution & Infrastructure lead — device installation begins once conduit, panels, and wire are in place
Coordinate with controls commissioning on energization readiness, I/O verification results, and open items
Track device installation progress, risks, blockers, and quality issues, escalating when support is needed
Participate in project-level technical reviews, installation readiness reviews, and commissioning readiness reviews
Manage relationships with device vendors, OEMs, integrators, and internal project stakeholders
Participate in daily business reviews with installation progress and commissioning readiness updates
Maintain accurate field documentation including punch lists, issue logs, QC observations, and turnover documentation
