[Hiring] Field Instrument and Electrical Specialist @CAMBRIAN INNOVATION, LLC

Role Description

The Field I&E Specialist serves as the organization's primary subject matter expert for advanced instrumentation, electrical, and controls troubleshooting across a network of water and wastewater treatment facilities. This is a highly autonomous, travel-intensive role (75%+ travel) requiring the individual to deploy to sites when issues exceed the diagnostic capabilities of local operators or maintenance staff. The ideal candidate brings deep, hands-on expertise across PLC/SCADA systems, electrical distribution, motor controls, and process instrumentation and is equally comfortable troubleshooting a field instrument loop or navigating a PLC ladder logic fault. Strong communication skills are essential, as this role regularly interfaces with site operators, plant managers, and engineering staff to resolve critical issues and transfer knowledge.

Qualifications

• Associate’s degree in an electronic related field or equivalent experience.
• Substantial experience in a process control environment, typically five or more years with demonstrated competency.
• Valid driver’s license.

Requirements

• Expert-level reading and interpretation of electrical schematics, P&IDs, instrument loop drawings, and control panel layouts.
• Proficiency with calibration and test equipment: loop calibrators, multimeters, meggers, oscilloscopes, and power analyzers.
• Strong working knowledge of NEC, NFPA 70E, and OSHA electrical safety and LOTO requirements.
• Familiarity with water/wastewater treatment processes, equipment, and instrumentation applications preferred.
• Excellent problem-solving skills with the ability to work independently in unfamiliar facility environments.
• Clear written and verbal communication skills; ability to explain technical issues to non-technical operators and managers.
• Self-directed and highly organized; able to manage travel logistics, prioritize multiple site requests, and work with minimal supervision.

Benefits

• 75%+ travel to water and wastewater treatment facilities across the US; overnight stays regularly required.
• Stand, walk, climb, bend, and work in confined, elevated, or restricted-access areas for extended periods.
• Lift and carry up to 50 lbs. of tools, equipment, and parts unassisted.
• Work in confined spaces (confined space entry training and medical clearance required).
• Exposure to outdoor weather extremes, chemicals, noise, heat, and biological hazards typical of water/wastewater environments.
• Required to wear and properly use PPE including arc flash PPE, respirators, chemical-resistant clothing, and fall protection as conditions dictate.
• Must be available to respond to critical site emergencies outside normal business hours as needed.
