Senior Electrical Engineer – Heavy Industry | Lafayette, IN

We’re partnering with a large manufacturer in Lafayette, IN, looking for a Senior Electrical Engineer who’s not afraid to get hands-on. If you want ownership, variety, and visibility — this is it. You’ll lead capital projects, solve tough technical issues, and help keep a massive 1M+ sq ft facility running around the clock.

If you like being the go-to problem solver and making a real impact — let’s talk.

What You’ll Be Doing:

Design & Develop: Create, test, and improve electrical systems and equipment.

Own Projects: Lead end-to-end — from scoping and budgeting to delivery.

Mentor Others: Support and guide junior engineers and techs.

Keep Things Compliant: Ensure systems meet safety codes and internal standards.

Stay Hands-On: Troubleshoot equipment and partner with union trades on the floor.

Communicate Clearly: Draft technical drawings, reports, and documentation.

Keep Learning: Bring in new ideas and stay sharp on the latest tech.

What Makes This Role Different:

You’ll own real capital projects with immediate visibility and impact.

This is not hybrid — it’s a true on-site, day-shift role at a 24/7 facility.

You’ll collaborate daily with union trades and salaried teams — no silos.

Up to $160K base, bonus eligible, with relocation support if needed.

Plenty of growth and leadership opportunity — this team values initiative.

What You’ll Need:

Must-Haves:

Bachelor’s in EE or EET

5+ years in heavy industrial or equipment-based environments

3+ years of hands-on CAD experience (electrical)

U.S. Citizen or Green Card holder (ITAR compliance)

Nice-to-Haves:

Knowledge of PLCs, HMIs, and motor control systems

Experience with ABB robotics or leading capex projects

Strong troubleshooting skills — especially with legacy systems

Solid communicator who leads with humility

Bonus Points If You’re:

Comfortable working in union environments

Energized by fast-moving, production-heavy settings

Looking for a role where you’ll own decisions and results
