Field Service Engineer - Automation Industry

We’re opening our 2026 hiring pipeline for curious, adaptable problem‑solvers who love travel, hands‑on work, and being part of a team that knows your name.

Success in training requires a basic foundation in electrical systems, programming, and communication networking. If you’re new to these areas, this role may not be the right fit.

You’ll be part of the team that keeps automation projects moving. At Pro Automated, we partner with system integrators and manufacturers to ensure everything works flawlessly when it matters most. You will support data center startups, performing on‑site mechanical, electrical, and control checks; lead startup, checkout, and acceptance testing for warehouse fulfillment and manufacturing systems; partner with automation and control engineers to test, troubleshoot, and validate their systems on‑site;

and provide clear communication and updates to customers and project teams.

There is no office to report to; you’ll be away from home while you’re working.

During a four‑week paid training, you’ll be prepared for field work.

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.

Health, dental, and life insurance, a matching 401(k), short & long term disability options, paid vacation, and flexible time off after 18 months.

We invest in your development through paid training, annual merit raises, and a 5% salary increase after six months. Learn, advance, and build a career that can take you in multiple directions.

We will be your biggest cheerleaders of growth, even if you’re not with Pro Automated forever.
