Original job description

The Plant Electrical Engineer supports safe, reliable, and cost-effective operation of electrical assets at the Celanese Edmonton manufacturing site. This role leads reliability strategy development for medium- and low-voltage equipment supporting continuous acetyls production and utilities infrastructure.

This position works closely with Maintenance, Operations, E&I trades, Turnaround teams, and Capital Engineering to reduce equipment failures, improve asset lifecycle performance, and strengthen predictive maintenance programs across the facility

Responsibilities

Electrical Reliability Strategy

Develop and sustain reliability programs for major electrical systems, including 13.8 kV distribution, 4.16 kV motors and switchgear, 600 V MCCs, transformers and substations, VFD‑driven equipment, UPS/control‑power systems, critical compressors and pumps, and SIS‑supporting electrical infrastructure.
Lead site electrical asset criticality reviews and lifecycle planning.

Failure Elimination & Root Cause Analysis

Lead investigations into electrical reliability issues, including nuisance trips, transformer failures, MCC problems, motor insulation breakdown, harmonic distortion impacts, and VFD reliability concerns.
Apply structured problem‑solving tools, including RCFA, FMEA, Weibull analysis (when applicable), and Six Sigma methodologies to resolve chronic reliability issues.

Predictive & Preventive Maintenance Optimization

Strengthen and optimize electrical PdM/PM programs, including infrared thermography, partial discharge monitoring, insulation resistance testing, motor condition monitoring, breaker maintenance strategies, and arc‑flash risk mitigation planning.
Improve PM effectiveness within SAP PM reliability structures.

Capital & Turnaround Support

Provide electrical engineering support for plant upgrades, obsolescence replacements, reliability‑driven capital projects, shutdown/turnaround scopes, and major equipment replacements
Collaborate with E&I technicians, planners, schedulers, reliability specialists, and maintenance supervisors, providing technical support and guidance within a unionized maintenance environment. Provide technical guidance while supporting efficient execution within a unionized maintenance framework.

Safety, Compliance & Standards

Ensure compliance with the Alberta Electrical Utility Code, CSA standards, arc‑flash safety requirements, corporate electrical safety standards, Management of Change (MOC) processes, and all applicable Process Safety expectations.

Continuous Improvement Leadership

Lead reliability initiatives focused on reducing downtime, eliminating bad actors, optimizing maintenance costs, improving equipment availability, and refining PM intervals.

Qualifications

Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering
Registered P.Eng. with Association of Professional Engineers and Geoscientists of Alberta
5–10 years industrial electrical reliability experience
Experience in continuous manufacturing or petrochemical environments
Strong root cause investigation capability
Experience supporting medium-voltage industrial systems (4 kV–15 kV)

Preferred Experience

Chemical, refining, or acetyls production experience
SAP PM reliability module experience
Arc flash study tools (ETAP, SKM, EasyPower)
Turnaround planning exposure
Protective relay coordination familiarity
Asset criticality modeling experience
