Job description

Field Service Engineer – Automation Industry

Apply for this role at ProAutomated. Our 2026 hiring pipeline is open for curious, adaptable problem‑solvers who love travel, hands‑on work, and being part of a team that knows your name.

Why You’ll Love Working With Us

Work and travel together – you’ll experience new cities, tackle unique projects, and earn travel rewards while working directly with customers across North America. There is no office to report to, and you’ll be away from home while you’re working.

Fair pay that grows with you – 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 and flexibility – 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 – smaller, people‑first company where teamwork, adaptability, and humor are part of the job.

What You’ll Do

• 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.
• Follow typical travel rotations (5 on – 2 off, 10 on – 4 off, or 14 on – 7 off) with each project bringing new challenges and locations.

What We’re Looking For

• 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.
• Adaptability and grit – thrive when plans change and challenges pop up.
• Strong communication and problem‑solving skills.
• 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

• Walk long distances across large facilities or job sites.
• 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).

Ready for a Career That Takes You Places?

If you want a career that’s challenging, travel‑filled, and far from ordinary, where your effort actually matters, we’d love to meet you.

Apply now to get on our radar for early 2026 hiring.
