Electrical Controls Engineer

Project Engineer – Controls & Automation

Build systems that keep critical energy infrastructure running.

If you enjoy owning projects start to finish and staying hands‑on with controls and automation, this role gives you both. As a Project Engineer, you’ll lead control system projects for midstream facilities—designing, programming, commissioning, and working directly with clients to deliver real‑world solutions.

This is a high‑impact role with visibility, autonomy, and the chance to see your work operating in the field.

• Own automation projects from early estimating through commissioning
• Develop control system architecture for compressor stations and pumping stations
• Design control system drawings, PLC logic, HMIs, and supporting documentation
• Build I/O lists and Cause & Effect matrices from P&IDs and electrical drawings
• Coordinate panel fabrication, wiring, installation, and field execution
• Lead commissioning, testing, troubleshooting, and performance verification
• Serve as a technical point of contact for clients, RFIs, and change orders
• Collaborate across engineering, field, and project teams to deliver quality results

• 5–10 years of PLC programming and HMI development experience
• Strong experience in instrumentation and industrial control systems
• Experience supporting or commissioning midstream facilities preferred
• Comfortable reading P&IDs, electrical drawings, and technical documents
• AutoCAD proficiency for control and electrical design
• Confident communicator who works well independently and with teams
• Willingness to travel occasionally for commissioning and field support

Engineering degree preferred, but real‑world controls experience matters most.

• Real ownership:
  You design it, build it, and commission it—no siloed work
• Meaningful projects:
  Critical infrastructure with visible, real‑world impact
• Hands‑on engineering:
  Stay technical while growing project leadership skills
• Balanced travel:
  Purposeful field work, not constant road time
• Supportive culture: A team that values collaboration, trust, and craftsmanship
• Room to grow:
  Exposure to complex systems and opportunities to expand your role
