***This position is NOT eligible for C2C/corp-to-corp or visa sponsorship Title: Electrical Project Engineer Project Work: choice of 100% electrical project work focus OR 80% electrical project work/20% programming Location: New Berlin, WI Schedule: onsite role with some flexibility Pay: $43-$55 per hour ($90k-$110k salary range upon conversion to permanent employee) Type: Contract-to-Hire (6-9 months, then conversion to permanent employee) Goal: Seeking an Engineer with an Electrical Project Design background (designing control panels, enclosures, schematics, one-line diagrams, etc.) using AutoCAD, AutoCAD Electrical, or similar. We are NOT looking for just a software Automation/Controls Engineer who only just does PLC programs. We need someone who has been MAINLY an Electrical Project Design Engineer. PLC software experience nice to have but not necessary. This is what we need. See below for details.
