Job description

Job details: This Jobot Job is hosted by: Adam Bennett

Salary: $100,000 - $150,000 per year

We're an engineering firm with deep roots and a culture that reflects it — collaborative, technically serious, and built around people who take ownership of their work in every sense of the word. We operate across a wide range of industries and project types, and we've grown steadily by doing good work and keeping good people. The team here is the kind that asks hard questions, shares what they know, and genuinely cares how the project turns out.

Real projects. A team that respects the craft. And a culture where your work actually matters.

This is a role for someone who likes to see a design through from concept to commissioning — not hand it off and move on. You'll be working alongside control engineers to design electrical control systems and panels for packaging machinery, which means your fingerprints are on the finished product. The work is technical, the team is collaborative, and Green Bay, WI offers a quality of life that most engineering hubs can't compete with.

If you've spent your career at an OEM or controls integrator and want to bring that experience somewhere it'll actually be valued, this is worth a conversation.
