Job description

Overview

We’re opening our 2026 hiring pipeline now for curious, adaptable problem-solvers who love travel, hands‑on work, and being part of a team that actually knows your name.

Our four‑week paid training prepares technically skilled individuals for field work. Success in training requires a basic foundation in electrical systems, programming, and communication networking. If you’re new to these areas, this role may not yet be the right fit.

Benefits & Compensation

Work + Travel, Combined – Experience new cities, tackle unique projects, and earn travel rewards while working directly with customers across North America. No office to report to; you’ll be away from home while working.

Fair Pay – Starting salary $60,000–$75,000, depending on location, education, and experience. You’ll also receive per diem for meals, mileage reimbursement, utilization bonuses, weekend bonuses, and more.

Room to Grow – We invest in your development through paid training, annual merit raises, and a 5% salary increase after six months.

Real Benefits – Health, dental, life insurance, a matching 401(k), short‑ and long‑term disability options, paid vacation, and flexible time off after 18 months.

A Team That Gives You Community – We’re a smaller, people‑first company where teamwork, adaptability, and humor are part of the job. We hold each other to high standards and push for excellence.

What You’ll Do

You’ll be part of the team that keeps automation projects moving. At ProAutomated, we partner with system integrators and manufacturers to ensure everything works flawlessly when it matters most.

• Support data center startups, performing on‑site mechanical, electrical, and control checks.
• Lead startup, checkout, and acceptance testing for warehouse fulfillment and manufacturing systems in industries like food and beverage.
• Partner with automation and controls engineers to test, troubleshoot, and validate their systems on‑site.
• Provide clear communication and updates to customers and project teams to keep progress smooth and accurate.
• Typical travel rotations follow a days on & off schedule: 5 on – 2 off, 10 on – 4 off, or 14 on – 7 off. Every project brings new challenges and new locations.
• Work with various customers, gaining invaluable real‑world experience with massive companies, supported by the ProAutomated team.

What We’re Looking For

• A genuine love of travel; expect to be away from home on rotation (we’ll handle the logistics).
• Preferred experience: working knowledge of electrical systems, programming, and communication networking skills.
• Adaptability and grit; you thrive when plans change and challenges pop up.
• Strong communication and problem‑solving skills.
• Must live within 50 miles of a major airport (relocation assistance available).
• Personal vehicle within 45 days of employment (for local projects).
• Authorized to work in the U.S.
• A technical degree or equivalent hands‑on experience (3+ years) in a related field such as electrical, mechanical, or automation engineering.

Physical Requirements

• Ability to walk long distances across large facilities or job sites as part of daily work activities.
• Climb ladders, stairs, or work at heights.
• Lift, carry, and move up to 50 lbs.
• Stand, kneel, or reach for extended periods.
• Work in varied environments (construction sites, outdoor, hot/cold).

Reasonable accommodations may be made to enable individuals with disabilities to perform these essential functions.
