  • Establish and lead a preferred partner program for CEI vendors, including system integrators, OEMs, and contractors
  • Champion the adoption of modern technologies such as IIoT, edge devices, advanced sensors, and AI-driven automation platforms to enhance system intelligence and flexibility
  • Track and evaluate industry trends and emerging technologies, conducting assessments and pilots to inform CEI modernization and lifecycle planning
  • Lead internal workshops, develop training materials, and mentor plant teams to build CEI capability and standard adherence across the manufacturing network
  • Establish corporate protocol strategies for electrical system obsolescence planning, spare parts strategies, and critical system redundancy
  • Interface with regulatory agencies and internal compliance teams to ensure CEI designs and executions meet all applicable codes and regulations (e.g., NEC, NFPA, OSHA, USDA, EPA)
  • Collaborate with vendors, contractors, governmental regulatory agencies (USDA, OSHA, DNR, EPA, etc) as needed to support the various projects

Requirements:

  • Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Automation, Controls Systems, or related field (Master’s preferred)
  • Demonstrated success in delivering a Controls & Electrical strategy across a network of manufacturing sites
  • 10+ years of progressive experience in Controls/Electrical Engineering in CPG, food/beverage, or pharmaceutical manufacturing
  • Strong understanding of industrial automation architecture (PLCs, HMI/SCADA, MES, industrial networks, safety systems, instrumentation) and Electrical equipment
  • Proven ability to develop and govern engineering standards, particularly in capital project environments
  • Demonstrated success managing third-party vendors and system integrators in complex, multi-site environments
  • Familiarity with Stage-Gate project delivery, FEL processes, and capital governance models
  • Experience working at the intersection of OT, IT, and Digital Transformation is a strong advantage
  • Excellent strategic thinking, stakeholder management, and communication skills—able to operate at both the plant and executive level
