The Opportunity

The Control Systems Engineer supports the design, development, integration, and deployment of industrial control systems across a variety of automation projects. This is an early-career engineering role focused on building foundational experience in control system design, PLC/HMI development, and system integration.

This role works under the guidance of senior engineers and project leaders to contribute to project execution across the full lifecycle—from design through commissioning. You will gain hands-on experience in both software and hardware aspects of control systems while developing troubleshooting, testing, and field support capabilities.

This position is ideal for individuals with an engineering background who are eager to develop technical expertise, contribute to real-world automation projects, and grow into a fully independent Controls Engineer.

What You’ll Do

• Support control system design, development, and integration activities
• Assist in installation, startup, commissioning, and system testing
• Participate in Factory Acceptance Testing (FAT) and system validation efforts
• Read and interpret P&IDs, wiring diagrams, and technical documentation
• Document engineering work and maintain accurate project records in alignment with QMS

Technical Development

• Develop working knowledge of:
  • Programmable Logic Controllers (PLC)
  • Human-Machine Interface (HMI) systems
  • Control system architecture and design fundamentals
  • Industrial networking and IT infrastructure related to automation
