Instrument Technician

About the Role

We are actively looking for an Instrument Technician with hands‑on experience in a critical industrial environment, such as power, chemical, or food/beverage. We need an expert in the installation, calibration, troubleshooting, and repair of complex I&C systems. The ideal candidate will have strong knowledge of NIST traceable standards and ISO 17025 procedures, proficiency with instruments like flowmeters and pressure gauges, and the ability to manage calibration schedules.

If you are skilled in PLC/HMI troubleshooting and committed to ensuring the safety and precision of manufacturing plants across our four‑state service area, apply today! ISA CCST certification is a plus.
