About the Role 

As a Power Engineer at Warrick Operations, you will provide electrical engineering expertise that supports safe, reliable, and efficient power generation and distribution for manufacturing operations. Working primarily on-site, you will be a broad technical resource for maintenance, production, engineering partners, and contracted services across low-, medium-, and high-voltage applications. You will balance urgent plant support with long-term reliability improvements and will be expected to take initiative, communicate clear technical recommendations, and follow work through to completion. 

Key Responsibilities 

• Support power generation, transmission, and distribution systems across low-, medium-, and high-voltage applications, with a consistent focus on safety, reliability, and operational performance. 

• Troubleshoot electrical issues with maintenance and production teams, using structured analysis and root cause methods to implement practical, sustainable solutions. 

• Lead electrical projects from concept and design through equipment specification, contractor coordination, commissioning, documentation, and closure. 

• Improve electrical system reliability through preventive programs, equipment and process improvements, and sound engineering practices. 

• Provide technical support for PLCs, HMIs, AC/DC drives, variable frequency drives, motor controls, protective and solid-state relays, load-distribution equipment, and switchyard systems. 

• Mentor technical staff and collaborate across maintenance, production, engineering, and contracted services while reinforcing electrical safety and environmental compliance. 

What You Bring 

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or Electrical Engineering Technology from an accredited institution. 

• Experience with power transmission and distribution systems, including exposure to high-to-low voltage delivery. For early-career candidates, relevant co-op, internship, military, academic, or project experience may be considered. 

• Working knowledge of PLCs, HMIs, AC/DC drives, variable frequency drives, and motor-control systems, with the ability to explain your direct contribution to troubleshooting, design, specification, programming, or commissioning work. 

• Ability to lead or meaningfully own electrical engineering projects through completion. Substantial capstone or co-op project ownership may be considered for early-career candidates. 

• Safety-first judgment and practical awareness of electrical hazards, risk assessment, isolation and lockout practices, arc-flash controls, PPE, and applicable codes or standards. 

• Strong analytical problem solving, self-direction, clear communication, collaboration, and accountability, including the ability to translate technical recommendations for partners with different levels of electrical knowledge. 

Preferred Qualifications 

• Five or more years of experience in power generation, utilities, heavy manufacturing, metals, chemicals, pulp and paper, mining, or a comparable industrial electrical environment. 

• Experience with reliability methods, root cause analysis, industrial maintenance, and capital project leadership. 

• Experience with switchyards, substations, protective relays, power-system studies, or complex industrial power distribution. 

• Familiarity with engineering software tools and Microsoft Office applications. 

Working Conditions 

• Primarily on-site at Warrick Power Plant / Warrick Operations, generally Monday through Friday during daytime hours. 

• Industrial power-generation environment that includes high-voltage equipment, rotating machinery, required PPE, and strict safety protocols. 

• Occasional calls or off-hours support may be required during outages or emergencies. 

What's on Offer

• Competitive compensation packages, including pay-for-performance variable pay as well as recognition and rewards programs 

• Flexible spending accounts and generous employer contribution to the HSA 

• 401(k), employer match up to 6%, additional employer retirement income contribution (no vesting period), and a nonqualified deferred compensation plan 

• Holiday Pay: 10 holidays and one flexible holiday of your choice.
