Full Job Description

Electrical and Controls Engineering Manager

Innovative Refrigeration Systems, Inc. is the leading provider of industrial refrigeration and process cooling solutions, delivering custom engineered systems utilizing natural refrigerants such as ammonia and CO₂. Through a fully integrated approach encompassing engineering, manufacturing, construction, commissioning, nationwide service, and advanced aftermarket solutions, Innovative supports customers across the food and beverage, cold storage, pharmaceutical, industrial manufacturing, and mission-critical infrastructure markets throughout North America and around the world.

Unlike traditional engineering firms, contractors, or equipment suppliers, Innovative performs engineering, manufacturing, construction, commissioning, service, and ongoing customer support entirely in-house. This integrated model provides employees with the opportunity to support projects throughout the complete lifecycle, from concept and design through manufacturing, installation, startup, operation, optimization, modernization, and long-term system support.

Job Role: The Electrical and Controls Engineering Manager oversees the Controls Engineering team responsible for programming and deploying PLC/HMI-based systems. This leadership role ensures projects are executed effectively and aligned with strategic goals. The position is instrumental in both technical execution and business development for controls-related services.

Key Duties:

Lead and manage the PLC engineering team, including task assignments, performance evaluations, and mentorship.
Present customized solutions for controls upgrades and facility expansions to drive new business opportunities.
Foster long-term client relationships to support ongoing and future projects.
Coordinate with internal departments and executive leadership to align on project execution strategies.
Schedule engineering tasks based on field and shop requirements to meet critical deadlines.
Develop and implement sequences of operation per client and project specifications.
Troubleshoot and resolve electrical and control system issues on-site and remotely.
Travel as needed (approximately 10–20%) for client meetings, commissioning, and support.

Requirements:

Bachelor’s degree in Electrical, Computer, or Electronics Engineering
5+ years of experience in controls engineering, including PLC/HMI systems
Strong team leadership and mentorship capabilities
Effective communication and interpersonal skills with clients and internal teams
Experience in construction or manufacturing environments
Must be able to remain in a stationary position (seated or standing) for extended periods
Occasionally may need to lift or carry items up to 25 pounds (e.g., office supplies, small equipment)

Preferences:

Professional Engineering (PE) license
Industrial refrigeration or HVAC experience
Advanced PLC programming and SCADA systems knowledge
Proven industrial project management background
Familiarity with natural refrigerants and sustainability practices
Certifications in automation or project management

Benefits:

In addition to a competitive base salary, we provide a comprehensive and employee-focused benefits package designed to support your financial security, health, and work–life balance:

Generous retirement plan with a dollar-for-dollar 401(k) match up to 15%
401(k) student loan repayment match up to 15%
Medical insurance with 75% of employee and family premiums covered by the company
Dental and vision insurance options
Optional supplemental insurance coverage
Short-term and long-term disability insurance
Accidental death and dismemberment (AD&D) coverage
Company-paid life insurance
Weekly pay
Competitive paid vacation and holiday time
Paid sick leave, bereavement leave, and jury duty leave
Employee referral bonus program
Opportunities for career advancement, professional development, training, and apprenticeship programs
