Job description

Location: Hallettsville/Sheridan, TX

Until Nov 2027 (with a possibility of extension)

Work Environment: Primarily field-based

On-Call Rotation: Once every 3 weeks

Experience Required: 5+ years of hands-on industrial electrical and instrumentation experience

Job Summary

Enbridge is seeking an experienced Instrumentation Technician IV to maintain, troubleshoot, test, and calibrate electrical and instrumentation equipment used in natural gas compression and measurement facilities. The ideal candidate will have a strong industrial electrical and instrumentation background, with hands-on experience troubleshooting Allen-Bradley PLCs, working with 480V electrical systems, calibrating Rosemount transmitters, and troubleshooting control valves.

Experience with natural gas compressors and Waukesha engines is highly preferred but not required. Training will be provided for Waukesha-specific equipment and gas measurement responsibilities.

Key Responsibilities

• Troubleshoot, maintain, and repair industrial electrical and instrumentation systems.
• Access and navigate Allen-Bradley PLC programs to diagnose equipment issues and identify faults.
• Troubleshoot PLC inputs/outputs (I/O) associated with compressor and engine control systems.
• Perform troubleshooting and maintenance on industrial 480V electrical systems.
• Test, calibrate, and troubleshoot pressure, temperature, and other instrumentation, including Rosemount transmitters.
• Operate, adjust, test, and troubleshoot control valves and related equipment.
• Use digital multimeters, calibration tools, and other electrical testing instruments to diagnose equipment issues.
• Support the operation, maintenance, and troubleshooting of natural gas compressors and associated engine control systems.
• Assist with gas flow measurement systems and related instrumentation.
• Work with piping, valves, fittings, and other equipment used in gas transmission facilities.
• Follow applicable safety procedures, operational standards, and Enbridge qualification requirements.
• Participate in the on-call rotation and respond to field maintenance needs as required.

Required Qualifications

• Minimum 5 years of hands-on industrial electrical and instrumentation experience.
• Strong experience troubleshooting Allen-Bradley PLCs, including accessing programs, understanding program logic, and diagnosing I/O-related issues.
• Hands-on experience troubleshooting industrial 480V electrical systems.
• Experience calibrating and troubleshooting instrumentation, particularly Rosemount transmitters.
• Practical experience operating and troubleshooting control valves.
• Proficiency using digital multimeters and instrumentation calibration equipment.
• Ability to independently troubleshoot equipment and perform field maintenance activities.
• Must be able to commute within approximately one hour of Hallettsville/Sheridan, Texas.
• Strong safety awareness and troubleshooting skills.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience working with natural gas compression facilities.
• Familiarity with Waukesha engines and compressor control systems.
• Experience with gas flow measurement systems and electronic gas measurement.
• Knowledge of industrial piping, valves, fittings, and related equipment.
• Previous experience in gas transmission, pipeline, energy, or oil and gas facilities.

Training and Development

Enbridge will provide training on Waukesha engines and cross-training for gas measurement responsibilities. Technicians will be requalified under Enbridge’s Operator Qualification (OQ) requirements before performing applicable tasks.

Ideal Candidate Profile

The ideal candidate is a hands-on industrial I&E technician who can independently troubleshoot PLCs, diagnose 480V electrical issues, calibrate transmitters, and work with control valves. Direct natural gas compression experience is a plus, but strong industrial electrical and instrumentation skills are the primary requirements.

Note

Candidates with primarily residential or commercial electrical experience, PLC experience limited to monitoring, or backgrounds focused mainly on training and supervision without hands-on troubleshooting may not be a strong fit.
