The Opportunity
About the company
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
