Essential Duties and Responsibilities include but are not limited to:
Using prescribed methods, performs specific and limited portions of broader assignments under the guidance of an experienced Engineer. Applies standard practices and techniques in specific situations, adjusts and correlates data, recognizes discrepancies in results, and follows operations through a series of related detailed steps or processes.
Designs and develops all aspects of electrical control systems, equipment, and machinery based on given requirements and specifications.
Prepares control system equipment specifications and reviews vendor drawings.
Prepares Logic Diagrams, Cause & Effect Diagrams, Control System Architectures, and data sheets.
Develops functional descriptions and control philosophies to communicate functionality and company-developed programs.
Develops basic software under supervision of a superior to support Programmable Logic Controllers (PLC) and Human Machine Interfaces (HMI).
Selects instrumentation and automation hardware.
Recommends changes for ineffective procedures, designs, or specifications.
Prepares procurement specifications, material requisitions, and performs technical bid analysis.
Applies knowledge of project change control processes to identify potential changes.
Maintains liaison with design and drafting groups.
Prepares, reviews, and approves drawings as required.
Advises Project Engineer about the status of assignments with respect to schedule, budget, delays, and adverse problems.
Assists with the development of manpower, man-hour, and labor cost requirements for a project and monitors them to aid in evaluating budget limitations.
Takes the lead on estimating tasks and performs material take-off for a specific discipline.
Ensures quality, quantity, and completeness of the assigned engineering tasks.
Plans and schedules engineering efforts associated with assigned projects.
Maintains timely and accurate oral and written technical reports regarding assigned engineering activities.
Keeps proper engineering files and records.
Develops an understanding of industry codes and standards.
Must be a team player: willing to continuously and proactively collaborate, share, and seek information and guidance.
Conducts and participates in Factory Acceptance Testing of various electrical and control components, such as PLC and Network Enclosures, E-Houses, Motor Control Centers, and electrical and control components on mechanically packaged equipment.
Tests continuity of circuits using test equipment to ensure compatibility and safety of systems, following installation, replacement, or repair.
Troubleshoots, identifies, and isolates faults.
Conducts and assists in Start-Up and Commissioning.
Travels to site for start-up and commissioning of the project.
Performs Electrical, Electrical Controls, and Instrumentation Control duties and some mechanical duties such as setup, adjustment, calibration, tuning, and troubleshooting.
Troubleshoots electrical controls, PLC programs, processor-based program/diagnostic panels, and relay logic controls in various manufacturing equipment.
Gathers and maintains specific records of technical data such as tests and drawings, performs computations, plots data, or draws curves and charts as required.
Qualifications and Experience
Experience with HMI program/software such as Panel View, iFix, Ignition, Delta V, or other similar distributed control systems is preferred.
Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering with a specialty in Control Systems followed by a minimum of 8 years of related progressive experience in electrical controls engineering or related controls engineering or industrial automation.
Electrical Controls engineering experience in the preparation/execution of project scope.
Electrical Controls and/or industrial automation discipline experience in work sequence, general content, and the methods used to design, test, commission, and modify control systems.
Ability to analyze data and present findings in written reports.
Familiarity with a variety of field concepts, practices, and procedures.
Working experience with related industry codes and standards.
Knowledge of mining and/or bulk material handling industries.
Installation and technical support of PLC-based hardware and software.
Experience in Factory Acceptance Test (FAT) on Controls and/or Power Distribution equipment such as medium voltage switchgear and Variable Frequency Drives.
Experience in handling electrical power & control and instrumentation circuits by generating all E&I project-related drawings such as schematics, interconnection diagrams, IO Lists, Communications, and Network Layouts on projects utilizing computerized AutoCAD and Microsoft-based software.
Demonstrates technical expertise in the disciplinary field.
Other Requirements
Must be able to travel without restrictions, put in required hours/efforts to meet job requirements, and travel to project sites and work on project sites for periods of time.
