The Opportunity

Mural Group is partnering with a major steel manufacturing facility in Apple Grove, WV that is in the commissioning and startup phase of a significant capital build-out. We are hiring an Electrical Engineer to own the on-site installation and commissioning of the plant's electrical infrastructure -- power distribution, switchgear, MCCs, and PLC and control room systems.

This is a hands-on, high-visibility role. You will work directly with site leadership to sequence and execute the electrical build-out in line with actual plant operating conditions and reliability requirements. If you want ownership of a capital project from planning through commissioning rather than a desk role, this is it.

What You Will Do

Lead on-site installation of power distribution, switchgear, MCCs, and PLC and control room electrical infrastructure

Serve as the primary point of contact for all electrical installation activity, coordinating contractors, vendors, and trades crews

Develop and manage the electrical installation schedule, sequencing work to minimize disruption to active steel production

Review and interpret electrical drawings, one-line diagrams, panel schedules, and PLC room specifications to guide field execution

Troubleshoot installation issues in real time across electricians, millwrights, and controls technicians

Ensure PLC and control room infrastructure (power quality, grounding, backup power, cable routing) meets requirements to protect sensitive equipment

Track project progress, budget, and material logistics; escalate risks before they affect schedule

Support commissioning and startup including testing, energization, and handoff documentation

Maintain compliance with OSHA, NFPA 70E, local code, and plant safety protocols

What You Need

5+ years of electrical engineering experience in an industrial or manufacturing environment -- steel, metals, or heavy industrial strongly preferred

Demonstrated experience leading electrical installation projects from planning through commissioning

Working knowledge of power distribution, switchgear, MCCs, and PLC room electrical requirements

Ability to read and apply electrical drawings, one-line diagrams, and panel schedules in the field

Comfortable on an active construction site coordinating across multiple trades

Strong communication skills -- able to advise site leadership on trade-offs, not just execute a spec

Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or equivalent hands-on experience

Must be willing to be on-site full-time in Apple Grove, WV

Preferred

Prior experience in steel, aluminum, or heavy metals manufacturing

Familiarity with Allen Bradley or Siemens PLC platforms from an electrical installation standpoint

PE license or actively working toward one

OSHA 30 certification
