What does the day look like?
Between 40% and 50% of your time is spent at an engineering desk. You design single-line electrical schematics and run load-flow simulations using AutoCAD Electrical, EPLAN Electric P8, or ETAP, and write or modify PLC logic in Siemens TIA Portal or Rockwell RSLogix 5000. Another 15% to 20% goes toward safety assessments, vendor sign-offs, and compliance reports based on electrical codes like NFPA 70 / NEC or IEC 60364.
The remaining 30% to 40% is spent on the shop floor or at the site. You inspect control cabinets, verify cable runs, and diagnose equipment faults using Fluke 87V multimeters, Fluke 1507 insulation testers, and FLIR thermal cameras. The role follows a standard 38-to-40-hour weekly schedule, but plant shutdowns, overhaul periods, and commissioning phases require 12-hour shifts, weekend work, and rotating 24/7 on-call availability for emergency line trips.
