#jobalert | DIRECT HIRE | CONTROLS ENGINEER | MANUFACTURING | Greater Houston area
An established, growing manufacturer of custom-built industrial HVAC equipment in the Houston area is hiring a Controls Engineer to own PLC-based control system design, programming, and startup for equipment built to unique customer specifications — not off-the-shelf systems. You'll take projects from concept through commissioning, working directly with the engineering team that designs the equipment you're programming. This is a hands‑on role with real ownership: what you program gets built, tested, and shipped by the same team you sit next to every day.
- Anticipated $95,000–$135,000 annually, based on experience
- Full suite of benefits:
Health/Dental/Vision, PTO, 401(k) with company match - Some travel required for on‑site commissioning and start‑up support
- Design, program, and test PLC-based control systems for custom-built industrial equipment
- Take PLC programs from initial concept through final commissioning
- Support Factory Acceptance Testing (FAT) and Site Acceptance Testing (SAT), including start‑up and troubleshooting
- Debug, troubleshoot, and modify PLC programs for systems already in the field
- Design and document sequences of operation
- Develop electrical wiring diagrams, control schematics, and panel layouts
- Perform electrical calculations including load, protection, and short‑circuit ratings
- Select control components and define electrical interconnections
- Prepare and maintain bills of materials for controls and electrical systems
- Collaborate daily with engineering, fabrication, and field teams to resolve technical issues
- Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or related field preferred; equivalent hands‑on experience will be considered
- Strong, provable PLC programming ability — this is the top qualifier for this role
- Experience with industrial controls, sequences of operation, and system integration
- Proficiency with electrical CAD/schematic software
- Strong understanding of AC/DC power and control circuits
- Familiarity with relevant electrical and hazardous‑location codes and standards
- Ability to read and interpret customer drawings, specifications, and schematics
- Strong troubleshooting and problem‑solving skills
- Ability to manage multiple projects and meet deadlines
