• Identify performance gaps within production systems and implement engineered solutions that deliver measurable improvements.

Lead Technical Development & Cross‑Functional Collaboration

• Mentor junior engineers and electricians, raising technical capability across the team and improving troubleshooting efficiency.
• Partner with operations, maintenance, and external engineering resources to steer priorities and ensure alignment on performance outcomes.

What You Bring to the Team:

• Bachelor's degree in electrical engineering or electrical engineering technology with a minimum of 1 year of experience in control systems engineering in a continuous and/or discrete manufacturing environment – 3 years preferred
• Ability to provide solutions to projects and basic process engineering problems.
• Knowledge with Allen-Bradley PLC and HMI applications (including programming).
• Basic project management skills
• Demonstrated success managing projects up to $50k
• Demonstrated ability to work collaboratively with internal and external engineering resources.
• Must possess good analytical and problem-solving skills.
• Demonstrated drive and initiative to complete assigned tasks and investigate and seek out improvement opportunities.

Why You Want This Job:

This role is ideal for an engineer who wants to make a tangible, measurable impact in a high‑performance industrial environment.

As part of Johns Manville—a Berkshire Hathaway company—you'll join a culture centered on excellence, safety, and people development, with opportunities to influence major operational outcomes, lead meaningful automation initiatives, and grow within a global organization committed to innovation and performance.

You won't just maintain systems—you'll shape the technical direction of the plant, own high‑visibility engineering projects, and contribute to long‑term operational strategy.
