The University of Notre Dame Power Plant is looking for a Delta

V Controls Technician who views the system as more than just a set of wires and screens. This role involves the vital maintenance and calibration of our instrumentation, and we seek someone who specifically enjoys the logic side of controls
—building it, troubleshooting it, and improving it.

This is a mission‑critical role where you are not just following a manual; you’re the person who can open up a control strategy, trace the logic, and solve the puzzle rather than just resetting a code.

• System Ownership: Support and maintain the Delta
  
  V control system, ensuring the logic and sequencing drive safe and reliable plant operations.
• Logic‑First Troubleshooting: Deep‑dive into function blocks, control strategies, and interlocks to understand the “why” behind system behavior.
• Precision Maintenance: Perform essential calibration, testing, and repairs on complex instrumentation—including digital, analog, and pneumatic controls.
• Continuous Improvement: Partner with the Operations team to upgrade existing systems and improve performance. You’ll be the person who fixes the problem instead of guessing.
• Compliance & Safety: Conduct audits and calibrations to ensure the accuracy of records and reports, and be a key player in responding to emergency situations to restore system functionality safely.

• The Mindset: A “logic‑first” mindset. Whether your background is in Delta
  
  V, PLC programming, or DCS, you understand cause and effect and process automation.
• Technical Foundation: Comfortable with transmitters, transducers, meters, and controllers, bridging field hardware and the digital control room.
• Education: One‑year technical certificate or completion of a Technical School/Apprenticeship program.
• Experience: 1–2 years of relevant experience in a high‑stakes environment.
• Commitment: Ability to complete the Utilities Department training regimen within 12 months of hire.

• A strong, stable work environment with a mission‑driven team.
• Competitive pay based on your specific experience.
• Excellent benefits and a chance to work at one of the world’s leading universities.

• One‑year certificate or technical training from a college or technical school required.
• Completion of a Technical School or Apprenticeship Program.

• 1–2 years of relevant experience.

• Strong ability to test, troubleshoot, assess, calibrate, repair, and commission instrumentation and control systems, including:
  • Digital, analog, and pneumatic controls
  • Distributed Control Systems (DCS)
  • Programmable Logic Controllers (PLC)
  • Discrete controls
  • Instrumentation such as transmitters, transducers, meters, and controllers
• Ability to complete the Utilities Department training regimen within 12 months of hire.
