• Lead control system commissioning, including instrumentation and motor controls
• Implement and troubleshoot industrial communication networks (fiber, radio telemetry, broadband)
• Own project documentation and technical deliverables from start to finish
• Serve as a trusted technical advisor to clients throughout design, build, and ongoing support

What We’re Looking For

• Strong background in PLC programming (Allen-Bradley, Siemens, Modicon, GE, or similar)
• Experience with HMI/SCADA platforms (FactoryTalk, Wonderware, Cimplicity, etc.)
• Ability to manage multiple projects while maintaining high attention to detail
• Strong communication skills with both technical teams and end users
• Degree in Electrical Engineering, Automation, or related field (preferred, not required)

Travel

• ~25% overnight travel within the Midwest
• Competitive salary based on experience
• Company vehicle (available for personal use)
