Trueline, a long-established American manufacturer of pipe, flow control, and fire protection products, is seeking an Electrical Engineer - Facilities and Power Distribution to own the electrical infrastructure at their 650,000-square-foot manufacturing campus in Columbia, PA. You’ll be the go-to expert for high- and medium-voltage power, from the plant’s own substation through its distribution network, during a period of major upgrades and growth. The role pays a base salary of $100,000-$130,000 plus an annual bonus.

The site includes a foundry and a machine shop, runs around the clock, and is growing: headcount is heading from about 850 toward 1,000, and output is rising. The right person is a hands-on engineer who’s as comfortable in the field as at a desk, and who wants to make a lasting mark on a critical piece of American manufacturing infrastructure.
