The Electrical Project Engineer will be primarily responsible for the implementation and installation of capital equipment and facilities to include ownership of all phases of a project from initiation and planning through installation, commissioning, and closeout. This position will provide engineering expertise to assist plant-level Maintenance, Production/Operations, EH&S, and management personnel in identifying and solving technical process issues. Technical assistance will require understanding of plant power distribution systems and process/machinery control systems. A practical level of understanding of mechanical and electrical engineering principles are to be applied to assigned project work.


Duties and Responsibilities:


* Capital project management that includes scope development, funding requests, budget tracking, schedule tracking and project execution.
* Coordinate day-to-day activities of contractors and plant maintenance personnel during project execution.
* Troubleshoot and resolve issues with existing process equipment and control systems.
* Provide training and technical assistance to plant-level Maintenance, Production/Operations, EH&S, and management personnel to ensure all project goals are successfully attained.
* Design using the latest hardware and software components, design machine control systems to maximize equipment productivity and assure all code requirements and safety standards are strictly met.


* Travel to Carlisle Construction Materials facilities outside of home base office, in support of project planning, equipment installation, startup, and training.


Required Knowledge/Skills/Abilities:


Essential Full Performance Knowledge:


* Project Management Fundamentals
* Proficient in Rockwell Automation software and Allen-Bradley hardware.
* Proficient in general industrial controls, manufacturing processes.
* Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs)
* Human Machine Interfaces (HMIs)
* Industrial communication protocols (Ethernet/IP, ControlNet, DeviceNet, Profibus)
* Understanding of open/closed control loops (PIDs)
* Understanding of electrical wiring principles based on the National Electric Code (NEC)
* Data Historian development
* Understanding of low-voltage power distribution
* Software/Data communication protocols (OPC-UA/OPC-DA)
* Understanding of AutoCAD Electrical
* Ability to stay abreast of new development in controls/technology


Essential Full Performance Skills:


* Interpretation of mechanical design drawings for electrical requirements
* Understanding and evaluation of component, equipment or installation proposals
* Programming of basic control system logic (ladder logic, structured text, function block)
* Configuration and tuning of variable frequency drives (VFDs)
* Interpretation of electrical/controls drawings
* Development of detailed equipment/installation specifications and RFQs
* Utilize and interpret technical data sheets and manuals
* Advanced problem-solving skills
* Advanced analytical comparison and value judgment skills


Education and Experience:


* BS degree in Electrical Engineering or related discipline
* Minimum of five years industrial/manufacturing experience in a controls engineering capacity.


Working Conditions:


The basic work environment is within a manufacturing facility with an average of 1 week of travel per quarter (although more travel may be required on occasion). The atmosphere is relatively fast paced and occasionally becomes stressful. The environment demands that multiple projects be worked on at the same time.


Work Environment:


* 80% office - project development, monthly reports, projects updates, team meetings/calls
* 20% travel - project support, equipment installation, commissioning, startups, vendor visits
