Lead Electrical Controls Engineer - PLC, HMI, SCADA

Lead Electrical Controls Engineer Build the brain of connected power systems

You’re the engineer who doesn’t just write code—you architect entire control and monitoring ecosystems and own the outcome, technically and financially.

In this role, you’ll lead the growth of a connected services business built around Electrical Power Monitoring and advanced control systems, from platform selection and system design through field installation support, testing, and commissioning.

You’ll take full ownership of complex applications ranging from $50K to $20M, driving decisions on technology stack, system architecture, resources, purchasing, and change management.

And you won’t just steer from the sidelines—you’ll often be the primary customer interface, setting technical, schedule, and cost baselines and leading negotiations on proposals and change orders.

If you’re a seasoned controls leader who lives in PLC / HMI / SCADA and wants to build both systems and teams, we want to talk to you.

• Electrical Power Monitoring and related control systems services
• PLC-based control, HMI, and SCADA solutions for industrial and power applications
• Connected services platforms and system architectures
• Advanced industrial networking and communications interfaces
• IPC-based control environments and applications
• Technical and commercial project strategies from $50K to $20M
• Multi-site customer programs spanning engineering, production, and field service
• Subcontractor and third-party supplier integration

You’ll work with technologies like PLC-based controls / HMI / SCADA (Inductive Automation, Rockwell, Wonderware, Schneider), advanced networks (Ether Net/IP, Modbus RTU/TCP, PROFINET, IO-Link), and IPC-based environments using CODESYS.

This is where deep controls engineering meets real P&L responsibility.
