We are looking for a Senior Electrical Engineer to join a large, capital capital intensive manufacturing site in regional South Australia. This is the most senior electrical role on site, acting as the technical authority across electrical infrastructure, control systems, and instrumentation.
Reporting to the Site Manager, this role is hands-on and highly visible, partnering closely with maintenance, operations, and capital projects teams to improve plant reliability, safety, and performance.
The site operates multiple production streams, including both long-established assets and modern, highly automated processing lines, creating a technically varied and engaging environment.
Key Responsibilities
* Act as the site SME for electrical, instrumentation, PLC and SCADA systems
* Lead complex fault finding, reliability improvements and root cause investigations
* Support and deliver capital projects, upgrades and system improvements
* Develop asset strategies, condition monitoring plans and improvement initiatives
* Collaborate closely with maintenance, operations, and engineering stakeholders
* Manage contractors during projects, shutdowns and major outages
What We're Looking For
* Electrical Engineering qualification
* Strong background in manufacturing or other capital-intensive industries (e.g. building materials, FMCG, mining, heavy processing)
* Solid hands-on experience with PLCs, instrumentation and SCADA systems
* Comfortable operating as a technical authority without direct line management
* Practical, commercially minded engineer who can work within real-world manufacturing constraints
RelocationThis role is based in a regional manufacturing hub in South Australia. Most employees live in a nearby regional centre offering schools (including private options), healthcare, shopping and daily flights to major capital cities. Relocation assistance is available for the right candidate.
