About the role

The Electrical Installation Lead – Low Voltage Devices & Controls drives the successful installation, configuration, and validation of field devices and low-voltage control systems for automation and material handling equipment across multiple greenfield and brownfield fulfillment center sites. This role provides field-based technical leadership focused specifically on low-voltage device installation, sensor deployment, VFD configuration, E-stop systems, fieldbus cabling, and device commissioning readiness.

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, and barcode scanners
  • 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
  • Manage sensor mounting, orientation, and alignment to ensure proper detection coverage
  • Direct 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
  • Manage E-stop system testing and verification across all installed zones
  • Verify sensor functionality, detection ranges, and operational parameters before handoff to controls commissioning
  • Oversee 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
  • Provide 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
  • Follow and help develop device installation standards and best practices
  • 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
  • Support development of scalable installation practices and field standards across multiple sites
  • Recommend and implement process improvements to increase device installation efficiency and first-pass quality
  • Carefully coordinate device installation activities with power distribution teams, mechanical installation, controls engineering, IT/network teams, and vendors
  • 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

Qualifications

  • 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
  • Experience working in fast-paced industrial, logistics, manufacturing, or automation environments
  • Ability to travel up to 50% domestically; travel may exceed 50% in some instances with short notice
