Location: Norzagaray, Bulacan
Reports To: Maintenance Manager
We are seeking a strategic and technical Electrical, Instrumentation, and Automation (EIA) Manager to oversee the overall performance of our plant’s EIA maintenance team. In this role, you will design, implement, and drive advanced electrical and automation maintenance strategies to achieve continuous, maximum asset reliability. You will be directly responsible for ensuring safe, efficient, and cost-effective operations while maintaining strict compliance with environmental, statutory, and safety regulations.
Key Accountabilities & Scope:
- Develop, plan, and execute world-class maintenance frameworks (TPM/RCM) to guarantee high availability and reliability of all plant sub-stations, power distribution networks, and complex instrumentation/automation loops.
- Manage, coach, and drive daily operational accountability for Electrical and Instrumentation/Automation Supervisors and Technicians. Establish clear, measurable SMART KPIs and implement continuous capability development programs.
- Oversee and analyze the plant's total electrical energy profile across process and non-process areas. Strategically manage load optimization and peak shaving to control energy consumption.
- Lead capital improvement projects, including lifecycle planning, obsolescence management, and modernization upgrades for PLC, DCS, SCADA, and variable frequency drives (VFDs).
- Serve as a proactive partner to the Production team, utilizing a consultative approach to minimize maintenance-to-production conflict and optimize scheduled downtime windows.
Job Challenges You Will Solve:
- Minimizing and rapidly mitigating the operational impact of unplanned power outages or distribution fluctuations.
- Eliminating high electrical power demand and demand charges through smart timing of equipment stoppages and process restarts.

Experience & Technical Skills:
- Minimum of 8–10 years of progressive engineering experience, with at least 3–5 years in an EIA leadership or managerial capacity within a heavy heavy-industrial environment (e.g., Cement Manufacturing, Power Generation, Heavy Chemical, or Smelting/Refining).
- Deep technical command of medium/low voltage power distribution, switchgears, protection relays, industrial motors, and air compressor systems.
- Strong working knowledge of automated control systems (Siemens, Rockwell, or similar PLC/DCS systems), field instrumentation, and industrial networks.
- Advanced, practical application of Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) methodologies and Root Cause Analysis (RCA).
Leadership Attributes:
- Proven Situational Leadership skills with a track record of managing and upskilling a technical workforce of 15+ personnel.
- Exceptional conflict resolution and win-win negotiation skills when interfacing with plant operations and production teams.
