Control System Designer

Our EPC client is seeking a Instrumentation Designer – Industrial Panels to join their team and support quality and inspection activities within their Houston fabrication shop. This role sits on the engineering design team and follows a hybrid schedule (in-office Tuesday–Thursday). The designer will primarily work within nVENT DTM software to support a variety of instrumentation and panel-based projects across three core work streams:

• Support full-cycle engineering and design for internal panel and building projects
• Create and develop design packages that are handed off to the production team for fabrication/build
• Collaborate closely with engineering and manufacturing to ensure designs are accurate and buildable
• This will be the primary focus area for the role

• Partner with the operations group (where Hamilton’s team sits) on more dynamic, field-driven work
• Review partial or pre-existing designs and:
  • Complete missing elements
  • Validate whether designs will function properly
• Utilize nVent DTM 3D software to:
  • Model designs and confirm feasibility
  • Perform drag-and-drop component placement and wiring connections
  • Reduce manual drafting effort and minimize design errors compared to AutoCAD

• Work from externally provided designs and adapt them to meet current build requirements
• Troubleshoot challenges such as:
  • Outdated (20+ year old) designs
  • Obsolete or unavailable parts
  • Incomplete or inconsistent documentation
• Collaborate closely with the shop/production team to develop practical, buildable solutions
• Requires a creative and problem-solving mindset to modernize and execute designs

• Opportunity to gain exposure beyond design due to the small team environment
• Potential to support:
  • QA/QC and inspection activities (if interested)
  • Growth into project engineering responsibilities for more senior candidates
