Electrical Engineer - Manufacturing

MetaOption, LLC
Rittman, OH
Job Description:

Position Overview

We are seeking a hands-on Electrical Engineer with a strong foundation in manufacturing operations and industrial controls. This role is ideal for someone who thrives on solving real-time equipment issues, supporting CAPEX projects, and working closely with cross-functional teams and external contractors. The ideal candidate will have solid experience with PLCs, equipment installations, and power systems, and is motivated by operational efficiency rather than design-heavy engineering. Key Responsibilities
  • Lead and support Capital Expenditure (CAPEX) initiatives — from planning and materials sourcing to installation and project execution.
  • Troubleshoot, repair, and maintain manufacturing equipment, focusing on PLC and HMI systems (preferably Allen Bradley).
  • Manage industrial control systems, including power distribution and instrumentation ranging from 12V to 480V.
  • Coordinate and supervise external contractors, ensuring project milestones are met with a focus on safety and quality.
  • Minimize downtime through rapid diagnostics and equipment recovery.
  • Maintain strict adherence to plant safety policies and procedures.
  • Support ongoing plant operations and equipment optimization efforts as needed.
Required Skills & Competencies
  • Strong proficiency in PLC programming, diagnostics, and troubleshooting.
  • In-depth knowledge of industrial electrical systems and Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs).
  • Proven ability to manage multiple projects in parallel and collaborate with cross-functional teams.
  • Effective decision-maker with a practical, results-driven approach.
  • Excellent communication and organizational skills.
  • Comfortable working in a dynamic manufacturing environment with minimal focus on design work.
Qualifications
  • Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering or Electrical Controls (required).
  • 5–8 years of relevant experience in a manufacturing setting.
  • Demonstrated success managing CAPEX projects and overseeing equipment installations.
  • Hands-on experience in industrial control systems, PLCs, power distribution, and contractor coordination.
Why Join Us?
  • Long-standing, reputable company with strong brand recognition.
  • Clear career progression – we promote from within.
  • Opportunity to work on impactful, real-world engineering projects with ownership and autonomy.
