  • Provide technical governance across multiple projects and platforms.

Qualifications

  • System integration and communications.
  • Commissioning workflows, IST, and live cutovers.
  • Proven ability to review, critique, and improve complex control system implementations.

  • Strong communication skills with the ability to translate technical concepts for non-technical stakeholders.
  • Comfortable supporting multiple projects concurrently in a fast-paced environment.

Requirements

  • Ability to remain in a stationary position for extended periods while working on a computer.
  • Ability to move through offices, job sites, control rooms, and equipment spaces as needed.
  • Ability to occasionally lift or move tools or equipment weighing up to 50 pounds.
  • Must have a valid driver’s license and ability to rent vehicles.
  • Limited (up to 30%), targeted travel for FAT, IST, commissioning strategy, or critical issue resolution.
  • Willingness to support extended hours during major commissioning or cutover events as needed.
  • Domestic travel required as project needs dictate; valid REAL ID or passport required.

Education Requirements

  • Bachelor’s degree in Engineering (Electrical, Controls, Automation, Computer, Mechanical) or a related technical discipline preferred.
  • Equivalent combination of education and demonstrated, hands-on engineering experience will be considered.
  • Relevant industry certifications or advanced technical training are a plus but not required.
  • Preferred: SCADA platform certifications (e.g., Ignition Gold, AVEVA/Wonderware, Siemens, Rockwell, or equivalent).
  • Ongoing professional development in control systems, automation, or mission-critical infrastructure.

Benefits

  • Choice of comprehensive medical plans (including two PPO-style plans and a HDHP w/ HSA option).
  • Dental and vision plans.
  • Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision benefits extended to spouse/domestic partner and dependent children up to age 26.
  • 401k with company match and self-directed brokerage account option.
  • PTO including additional paid time off during the last week of the year.
  • Company paid life insurance coverage for employees and their eligible dependents.
  • Short and long-term disability, AD&D coverage.
  • Professional development opportunities, tuition reimbursement, and professional licensing assistance.
