Preferred Qualifications that Drive you Forward

• Professional Engineer (PE) license or pursuit of licensure.
• Experience with SIS/SIL interfaces, grounding/bonding, or static ignition control.
• Familiarity with global electrical standards (IECEx/ATEX).
• Experience with 3D model coordination (e.g., Navisworks, Revit).

Your Work Environment

• Standing, walking, or operating equipment for extended periods.
• Working in a lab or manufacturing setting with appropriate PPE provided.
• Use of computers and digital tools in an office or hybrid environment.
• Occasional lifting or movement of materials.
• Adherence to rigorous safety protocols and ergonomic standards.

Work will include time in plant and construction environments requiring PPE and occasional climbing or accessing elevated areas. Some travel and off‑hours support during commissioning or outages may be required.
