Electrical Systems & Troubleshooting

• Diagnose, repair, and maintain low (up to 480V) and medium voltage (up to 15kV) electrical distribution systems, motor control centers (MCCs), and associated switchgear
• Troubleshoot and repair electrical components of HVAC, utility equipment (e.g., chillers, boilers, air compressors), and manufacturing process equipment
• Execute electrical installations, modifications, and upgrades in strict adherence to NFPA 70 (NEC) and NFPA 70E safety standards

Instrumentation Maintenance and Repair

• Perform routine maintenance and repair of critical process and utility instrumentation, including but not limited to pressure, temperature, flow and level
• Utilize calibration standards and test equipment (e.g., decade boxes, field calibrators, loop calibrators) for reference, to ensure instrumentation accuracy and reliability
• Maintain accurate and compliant calibration records for audit readiness by licensing authorities

Controls & Automation Systems (BAMS/PCS)

• Provide advanced troubleshooting support for the Building Automation Management System (BAMS) controllers, network devices, and user interface software
• Work with Process Control Systems (PCS) like PLCs (e.g., Siemens, Rockwell/Allen-Bradley) and HMIs (Human-Machine Interfaces) to diagnose control loop issues and sensor failures
• Interpret and modify control logic, ladder diagrams, and functional specifications to resolve system faults and optimize control sequences for utility and HVAC systems in accordance with established risk assessment and change control procedures

Documentation, Safety & Compliance

• Accurately complete all work orders and maintenance logs in the CMMS (Computerized Maintenance Management System)
• Strictly adhere to all cGMP, SOP (Standard Operating Procedures), and site safety protocols, including, but not limited to, Lockout/Tagout (LOTO) and Arc Flash procedures
• Assist in generating and reviewing technical documentation, Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), and change control documents

• Certified Electrician certification (Journeyman Certificate, license, etc)

Experience

• 10+ years of hands-on experience in industrial maintenance, specifically focusing on electrical systems, instrumentation, and controls in a highly regulated environment
• Minimum 5 years of experience in the Life Sciences or Pharmaceutical manufacturing industry is mandatory, with a proven track record of working under cGMP and regulatory scrutiny (e.g., FDA, EMA)

Required Skills

• Expert knowledge of low-voltage industrial electrical systems and motor controls
• Advanced proficiency in troubleshooting BAMS (e.g., Siemens Apogee/Desigo, Johnson Controls Metasys) and/or industrial PLC/DCS platforms
• Exceptional ability to read and interpret electrical schematics, Piping and Instrumentation Diagrams (P&IDs), and loop diagrams
• Excellent communication, teamwork, and problem-solving skills in a fast-paced environment
