• Solve challenging field and application problems rather than repeatedly designing the same system
• Identify design improvements and cost-saving opportunities that directly impact the business

• Design instrumentation and control systems for custom-engineered industrial equipment, including control panels, electrical schematics, I/O lists, and system documentation
• Develop and modify PLC and HMI programs using platforms such as Allen-Bradley/Rockwell, Siemens, GE, and Modicon
• Review P&IDs and control narratives and select instrumentation, VFDs, pumps, fans, control valves, and other system components
• Work with panel fabricators from initial design through drawing review, fabrication, testing, and final as-built documentation
• Support equipment testing, commissioning, and field troubleshooting, including wiring, PLC/HMI, instrumentation, and control system issues
• Partner with Project Engineering, Sales, Operations, and Field Service throughout the project lifecycle
• Interface directly with customers to resolve technical issues and make controls modifications when required
• Identify opportunities to improve system performance, reliability, and cost

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Electrical & Computer Engineering, or related field
• 10+ years of controls engineering experience within OEM, custom-engineered equipment, or industrial process environments
• Strong PLC programming experience with Allen-Bradley/Rockwell, Siemens, GE, and/or Modicon
• Experience designing industrial control panels, electrical schematics, and instrumentation/control systems
• Strong understanding of P&IDs, process controls, VFDs, instrumentation, and industrial electrical systems
• Working knowledge of NEC, NFPA, and other applicable industrial electrical standards
• Ability to support equipment commissioning and troubleshoot electrical and controls issues in the field

• Burner management, combustion controls, or burner safety systems
• Knowledge of NFPA 86, including burner safeties and interlocks
• Honeywell 7800 / Siemens LMV5
