**About This Opportunity**
This isn’t a desk job. This is a hands-on, travel-to-the-plant-floor, solve-real-problems role where your Ignition expertise will shape how entire facilities run. You’ll be the go-to engineer for SCADA development, electrical troubleshooting, and system startups across Virginia, South Carolina, and Georgia. If you like variety, autonomy, and seeing your work come to life in a manufacturing environment, this is your next move.

**The Role**
As our Electrical Engineer, you’ll own the corporate Ignition installations at every plant site. That means you’ll design and deploy SCADA screens, write complex scripts, and integrate Level 2 systems using SQL, ODATA, and Python. You’ll also work directly with PLCs (Allen-Bradley/Rockwell), HMIs, and VFDs—and yes, you’ll get your hands dirty alongside the maintenance team when a startup or troubleshooting call comes in.

**What You’ll Do**
- Lead Ignition system development: screen layout, design, and advanced scripting
- Program and troubleshoot Allen-Bradley PLCs, operator interfaces, and VFDs
- Design control systems using AutoCAD Electrical
- Support equipment installations, startups, and preventive maintenance routines
- Travel to plants in VA, SC, and GA for project support (typically 25-40% travel)
- Conduct safety observations, evaluations, and audits—safety is non-negotiable
- Manage electrical projects from scope to completion, working with plant teams and management

**What You Bring**
- 2-4 year degree in Electrical Engineering Technology or a related field
- 5+ years in an industrial electrical technician or engineering role
- Ignition by Inductive Automation experience or certification (required)
- Allen-Bradley/Rockwell programming experience or training (required)
- Solid understanding of electrical, pneumatic, hydraulic, and mechanical systems
- Strong analytical and problem-solving skills
- Comfort working in a team environment and communicating clearly with all levels

**Bonus Points**
- Automation or robotics experience
- AutoCAD Electrical proficiency
- Preventive maintenance expertise

**Compensation & Perks**
- $120,000 – $130,000 per year
- Quarterly bonuses (10% – 15% of salary)
- 12% 401K match (voluntary, with company match per quarter)
- Medical: standard PPO plan with deductibles as low as $1,500
- Wellness credit up to $750
- Voluntary dental and vision plans
- Telemedicine services
- Basic life insurance

**Location**
Based in Bluefield, Virginia (also open to Abingdon or Princeton, VA). Regional travel to SC and GA is part of the rhythm.
