If you’re looking for a place where your technical input actually matters, this is it.

About the Role

We’re looking for a Controls Engineer who can take ownership of automation projects from concept through commissioning. This role will be hands-on—designing, programming, troubleshooting, and working closely with cross-functional teams to bring systems to life in real-world environments.

What You’ll Be Doing

  • Design, program, and implement control systems for industrial automation projects
  • Develop and modify PLC logic, HMI interfaces, and SCADA systems
  • Partner with mechanical, electrical, and operations teams to integrate full system solutions
  • Support system startup, commissioning, and on-site troubleshooting when needed
  • Diagnose and resolve control system issues to minimize downtime
  • Create and maintain clear documentation for system designs and updates

What We’re Looking For

  • Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Controls Engineering, or related field (or equivalent experience)
  • Hands-on experience with PLC programming (Allen-Bradley, Siemens, etc.)
  • Experience working with HMI and/or SCADA platforms
  • Strong troubleshooting mindset with the ability to work independently
  • Solid communication skills and ability to work across teams

Nice to Have

  • Experience with robotics or advanced automation systems
  • Familiarity with industrial safety standards and compliance
