Job Description Job Description Lead Automation at Mondel?z
International — A Day in Your Impact Imagine walking onto the plant
floor where every conveyor, sensor, PLC, and drive is tuned for
safety, quality, and efficiency. By midday, you’ve coached line
leaders on SQCDSM priorities, refined a preventive maintenance plan
for critical electrical distribution, and supported technicians
troubleshooting a Foxboro DCS alarm. As the shift transitions,
you’re advising on a capital upgrade with Engineering and taking an
on-call question from night maintenance to keep production running
flawlessly. That’s the rhythm of this role: blending technical
mastery with leadership to build a zero-loss culture and a
high-performing operation aligned to our mission to reinvent
snacking for the future. What You’ll Drive Grow the electrical
team’s capability, elevating expertise in PLCs
(Allen?Bradley/RSLogix) and DCS (Foxboro) and extending that
know-how across maintenance. Create and manage preventive
maintenance programs for plant electrical, instrumentation, and
controls to maximize reliability and asset life. Own documentation
for electrical and control maintenance—keep drawings, standards,
and resources current and accessible. Safeguard our power
distribution infrastructure through robust inspection and
maintenance plans focused on reliability, sustainability, and
security. Champion compliance with OSHA and all Federal, State, and
Local safety, health, and environmental requirements; ensure safe
design, protection systems, procedures, and training. Provide
hands-on technical support to electricians and contractors; offer
shift coverage and on-call assistance as needed. Partner with
Safety on electrical safety, power distribution, energy
conservation, compliance, and incident response. Coordinate with
Production, Quality, and other functions to resolve electrical and
controls issues quickly and permanently. Collaborate with
Engineering on capital projects and continuous improvement to boost
productivity and reliability. Lead governance and performance
reviews; embed a zero-loss and continuous improvement mindset
benchmarked to internal and external best practice. Support annual
site plans to deliver Safety, Quality, Cost, Delivery,
Sustainability, and Engagement targets; coach Line Leaders and
communicate KPIs clearly. Uphold corporate standards and policies
(Quality, Food Safety & GMP, Health, Safety, Security, Environment,
Sustainability, Code of Conduct, operational standards, internal
audits, and local legal requirements). Build talent and engagement:
attract, retain, and develop technical and behavioral capabilities
across the manufacturing team; partner effectively with
cross-functional peers and external partners. What You Bring Proven
manufacturing leadership in CPG with TPM, 5S, Lean, and Six Sigma
experience. Exceptional communication, coaching, problem-solving,
analytics, and team-building skills. Engineering background with
financial acumen, project management strength, and knowledge of
industrial maintenance and production equipment. Education &
Technical Qualifications Bachelor’s degree in Engineering
(Mechatronic/Electronic). Oregon electrical license preferred. Food
industry experience; experience with Mondel?z projects is a plus.
Fluency with Allen?Bradley PLCs using RSLogix. Understanding of DCS
architectures and server/client systems. Hands-on experience with
industrial power and control circuits, instrumentation, and
networks (Fieldbus, Ethernet, ControlNet). Experience with AC/DC
drives (Allen?Bradley & Toshiba). Ability to read electrical
schematics and drawings; strong troubleshooting skills. Excellent
written and verbal communication; able to work with minimal
supervision in a fast-paced environment. Skilled at collaborating
with vendors, operators, team leads, and maintenance trades.
Maintenance background strongly preferred; prior technical
supervision experience. English / Spanish required. Work Schedule
