About You:

As a member of the company, you enjoy tackling challenges head-on and delivering smart, practical solutions to both our team and our clients. You bring hands‑on experience in industrial automation and controls. You have a natural inclination toward software and programming that sets you apart. You're equally comfortable on the plant floor and in the codebase, and you know that the best solutions often live at the intersection of both.

Your entrepreneurial mindset means you're always looking for better ways to do things. You are confident, personable, and thrive on building genuine connections with clients, teammates, and the communities we serve.

About Us:

We believe in empowerment integrated with accountability. We use Holacracy as a decentralized corporate governance system, which allows us to offer clear goals, flexible working conditions, and meaningful opportunities for professional and personal growth. In return, we count on you to own your projects, build better solutions, and contribute to a culture of excellence in the outcomes we produce for our clients and the quality of the relationships we build with them.

We don't just preach leadership; we praise, encourage, and live it throughout the organization. Every voice matters and is equally important to our success in delivering services with integrity and credibility.

At Jordan, we engineered a company that works better for our clients, our employees, and the communities we work in. By working closely alongside each client, we build genuine relationships that give us a deeper understanding of their goals which helps us create smarter, more effective solutions.

This is The Jordan Way.

• Inherent aptitude for programming that allows you to pick up new languages and platforms with ease and genuinely enjoy the craft of writing clean, functional code
