About the Role
This is a hands-on leadership position focused on managing electrical systems and automation across a high-speed food facility. You’ll supervise a team of 3 electricians and take the lead on troubleshooting PLCs, programming HMIs, and improving plant-wide control systems.
You won’t be sitting behind a desk—this is a floor-facing role that blends technical depth with people management. You'll guide your team through day-to-day issues while helping drive major upgrades and long-term improvements.
What You’ll Do
- Supervise and support a team of electricians during the first shift
- Troubleshoot electrical controls and automation issues on high-speed lines

- Create and revise control schematics using AutoCAD Electrical
- Lead automation upgrades and support robotics, VFDs, and other controls hardware
- Work closely with maintenance, operations, and engineering on improvement projects
- Train your team and help level up their technical skills
- Ensure safe work practices and compliance with all electrical standards
What You’ll Bring
- 5+ years of hands-on experience in controls or electrical engineering in a food, beverage, CPG or closely related manufacturing site
- Leadership is a plus
- Strong working knowledge of Allen Bradley PLCs, FactoryTalk View, and HMI systems
- Previous leadership or supervisory experience strongly preferred
- BS degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronics Engineering Technology, or related field or an equivalent of 10+ years of controls experience in a food environment
- Experience in AutoCAD Electrical and industrial networks is a plus
- Familiarity with high-speed packaging equipment and food safety standards is preferred
- Clear communicator who leads by example and earns team trust
What Success Looks Like
- You’re leading from the floor, not the office
- You can spot issues early and fix them fast
- You know how to push projects forward while coaching the team
- You speak the language of operations, maintenance, and controls
- You bring urgency, consistency, and technical depth to everything you do
