This is a hands-on Senior Electrical Engineer role supporting our client's Shovels/Excavators team. The engineer will work directly on large mining equipment, focusing on electrical hardware and control systems — not software-only automation.

• Physically work with circuit panels, power distribution systems, and electrical components like sensors, actuators, motors, and reactors
• Undo wires, re-route circuits, and solder connections to affect machine movement
• Understand how electrical changes impact mechanical systems (e.g., moving a wire can activate a piston)
• Collaborate with suppliers on transformers, drives, and motors
• Support prototype commissioning and resolve field issues
• Create software methodology but execute it physically on the machine

Note: This is not a software-focused role. Candidates who list PLC programming or firmware development as their primary experience may not be suitable.

• BSEE or equivalent
• 8+ years in electrical systems or controls
• Deep hands-on experience with: contractors, MCCs, breakers, transformers, relays
• Power distribution and control wiring
• Circuit design and troubleshooting
• Sensors, actuators, motors, and embedded systems
• AutoCAD (3+ years)
• Basic understanding of Solid Works and mechanical systems
• Some experience with PDM software
• Willingness to travel for prototype commissioning
• Familiarity with NFPA, NEC, UL, ISO standards
• Background in manufacturing automation or aerospace

• Mid-Senior level

• Full-time
