Job DescriptionJob DescriptionElectrical Maintenance SME (Industrial / Manufacturing Environment)

Location: Northeast Ohio
Type: Full-Time | Onsite

Overview

We are partnering with a large, advanced manufacturing organization to identify an Electrical Maintenance Subject Matter Expert (SME) to support plant operations and reliability.

This is a high-impact, plant-facing role responsible for improving electrical system performance, supporting troubleshooting efforts, and coordinating maintenance and project work across a complex industrial facility.

This is not a purely desk-based role. You will spend significant time on the plant floor working alongside maintenance and operations teams.

Key Responsibilities

• Provide technical leadership in troubleshooting industrial electrical systems, including PLCs, drives, and control components

• Support and guide electricians in diagnosing and resolving equipment issues

• Develop job plans, scope work, and coordinate execution of maintenance activities

• Manage contractors and vendors, including obtaining quotes, coordinating schedules, and overseeing work execution

• Partner with operations, maintenance, and engineering teams to improve equipment reliability and uptime

• Assist with plant electrical infrastructure, including low-to-medium voltage systems (up to approximately 2300V)

• Support capital projects, safety upgrades, and equipment improvements

What You'll Be Doing Day-to-Day

• Investigating equipment issues and supporting root cause analysis

• Spending time on the plant floor assessing problems and guiding solutions

• Coordinating internal labor and external contractors to complete work

• Balancing reactive troubleshooting with planned maintenance and project work

Qualifications

• Experience in industrial or manufacturing electrical environments is required

• Strong troubleshooting background with PLCs, drives, I/O systems, and industrial controls

• Ability to diagnose issues and guide teams to resolution, not just theoretical knowledge

• Experience coordinating maintenance work, vendors, or contractors is a plus

• Understanding of electrical systems in a heavy industrial setting

• Strong communication skills and ability to work cross-functionally
