Our Team

You will be part of a highly collaborative instrumentation and reliability team that values technical excellence, knowledge sharing, and continuous improvement. Team members work closely with operations, maintenance, project engineering, and reliability resources to solve complex challenges and improve manufacturing performance. We foster an inclusive environment where diverse perspectives are welcomed, individuals are empowered to contribute, and employees are encouraged to share what they know to help the entire team succeed.

What

You Will Do
  • Troubleshoot control loops end to end, including field devices, wiring and marshalling, I/O, controller logic, and HMI displays.
  • Specify, calibrate, and maintain field instrumentation, including control valves and flow, level, pressure, and temperature measurement systems.
  • Develop and modify PLC logic in Studio 5000 (RSLogix 5000), and program and troubleshoot Allen-Bradley drives.
  • Support the ABB 800xA DCS environment and the virtualized servers that keep control system infrastructure running.
  • Produce and maintain I&C deliverables including P&IDs, loop and wiring drawings, panel and marshalling design, motor control schematics, instrument datasheets, I/O lists, cable and tray schedules, control narratives, cause and effect diagrams, and engineering work packages.
