Power Engineer

Shape Your World

At Alcoa, you will become an essential part of our purpose: to turn raw potential into real progress.

The way we see it, every Alcoan is a work-shaper, team-shaper, idea-shaper & world-shaper.

Shape your world by helping keep the electrical systems behind Warrick Operations safe, reliable, and ready to perform.

This role offers broad ownership across power generation and distribution, hands-on problem solving, end-to-end project leadership, and the opportunity to serve as a trusted electrical resource for an industrial operation. 

About the Role 

As a Power Engineer at Warrick Operations, you will provide electrical engineering expertise that supports safe, reliable, and efficient power generation and distribution for manufacturing operations.

Working primarily on-site, you will be a broad technical resource for maintenance, production, engineering partners, and contracted services across low-, medium-, and high-voltage applications.

You will balance urgent plant support with long-term reliability improvements and will be expected to take initiative, communicate clear technical recommendations, and follow work through to completion. 

Key Responsibilities 


* Support power generation, transmission, and distribution systems across low-, medium-, and high-voltage applications, with a consistent focus on safety, reliability, and operational performance. 



* Troubleshoot electrical issues with maintenance and production teams, using structured analysis and root cause methods to implement practical, sustainable solutions. 



* Lead electrical projects from concept and design through equipment specification, contractor coordination, commissioning, documentation, and closure. 



* Improve electrical system reliability through preventive programs, equipment and process improvements, and sound engineering practices. 



* Provide technical support for PLCs, HMIs, AC/DC drives, variable frequency drives, motor controls, protective and solid-state relays, load-distribution equipment, and switchyard systems. 



* Mentor technical staff and collaborate across maintenance, production, engineering, and contracted services while reinforcing electrical safety and environmental compliance. 

What You Bring 


* Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or Electrical Engineering Technology from an accredited institution. 



* Experience with power transmission and distribution systems, including exposure to high-to-low voltage delivery.

For early-career candidates, relevant co-op, internship, military, academic, or project experience may be considered. 



* Working knowledge of PLCs, HMIs, AC/DC drives, variable frequency drives, and motor-control systems, with the ability to explain your direct contribution to troubleshooting, design, specification, programming, or commissioning work. 



* Ability to lead or meaningfully own electrical engineering projects through completion.
