• Professional Engineer (PE) license is a plus, but not required.
• 10+ years of experience in industrial control systems engineering with demonstrated success in complex projects.
• Extensive background working with PLCs, DCSs, SCADA systems, industrial networks, and heat trace controls.
• Proficient in control programming languages such as ladder logic and function block.
• Hands-on experience with major automation platforms (e.g., Rockwell, Siemens, Emerson, Thermon).
• Proven ability to analyze and resolve intricate control system challenges in real-world applications.
• Strong leadership and communication skills with experience managing technical teams.
• Willingness to travel for site visits, commissioning, and client engagements.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience managing large-scale control system projects from early design to operational handover.
• Knowledge of relevant industry codes, standards, and best practices in industrial automation and control.
• Enthusiasm for staying ahead of emerging automation and industrial control technologies.

Benefits

• Comprehensive compensation package, including base salary and equity opportunities.
• Retirement or pension plan consistent with local practices.
• Health, dental, and vision coverage.
• Generous paid time off aligned with regional norms.

This role offers the opportunity to combine leadership with technical expertise, shaping innovative control systems that support critical industrial operations. If you thrive in dynamic environments where precision and performance are non-negotiable, we'd love to hear from you.
