Pro Automated is looking for a Field Service Engineer to join our automation team, traveling across North America to support system integrators and manufacturers.

Work + Travel, Combined. You’ll experience new cities, tackle unique projects, and earn travel rewards while working directly with customers. There is no office to report to, and you’ll be away from home while you’re working.

Fair Pay That Grows With You. 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.

Room to Grow. We invest in your development through paid training, annual merit raises, and a 5% salary increase after six months.

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

A Team That Gives You Community. A smaller, people‑first company with teamwork, adaptability, and humor. Leaders have grown into their positions and hold each other to high standards.
