Job summary

ARCO/Murray is seeking an Industrial Controls Project Manager to lead complex control projects from design through commissioning. You will coordinate engineering, construction, and client teams in advanced manufacturing environments, ensuring safety, quality, and on-time delivery.

Responsibilities include defining process-control scope, overseeing procurement and installation, and leading commissioning efforts while traveling 30-50% and working at construction sites.

Qualifications

• 5+ years of project management in industrial controls, process systems, or a closely related industrial discipline.
• Experience managing large, complex projects from design through construction and commissioning; process-controls experience in advanced manufacturing or similarly complex industrial environments is strongly preferred.
• Strong technical understanding of industrial process and utility systems, including utility distribution, bulk gas systems, monitoring and integration, and process exhaust.
• Working knowledge of PLC-based control systems, HMI/SCADA, instrumentation, field devices, control panels, and communications networks. Hands‑on PLC or SCADA programming is not required.
• Ability to coordinate multidisciplinary engineering teams, contractors, equipment suppliers, and clients while managing project scope, schedule, budget, quality, and safety.

Responsibilities

• Manage large, complex projects and coordinate engineering, construction, vendors, and client teams to deliver integrated solutions in advanced manufacturing and other demanding industrial environments.
• Guide process-controls scope for utility and process systems such as bulk gas farms, building distribution networks, delivery to production tools, system monitoring and integration, and process-exhaust systems.
• Coordinate PLC-based controls integration, including PLC, HMI/SCADA, instrumentation, alarms, and communications interfaces. Provide project-level technical oversight; hands-on PLC programming is not required.
• Review process and control narratives, drawings, equipment layouts, submittals, installation plans, commissioning plans, and as-built documentation for scope, accuracy, constructability, and safety.
• Coordinate equipment and controls procurement, field installation, and interfaces among process utilities, instrumentation, control panels, exhaust dampers, and other systems.
• Lead commissioning, functional testing, and issue resolution—coordinating troubleshooting and root-cause analysis across disciplines through final resolution.
• Work closely with clients and design teams to deliver ARCO’s integrated project approach and grow the company’s self-perform controls services.
• Project environments may include advanced manufacturing, mission critical, power and gas infrastructure, water treatment, waste-to-value, and other complex industrial facilities.
• Most importantly find a way to make the construction process FUN for your clients and trade partners without sacrificing on QUALITY or SAFETY!!
