Grow Your Controls Career in Real Manufacturing Environments

This role is ideal for a Controls Engineer with hands-on experience who’s ready to take on more responsibility while continuing to learn from senior engineers.

• Assist with commissioning, troubleshooting, and system upgrades at regional manufacturing sites
• Participate in remote diagnostics and on-call support alongside senior engineers (eWON, TeamViewer, FactoryTalk)
• Maintain and update control panel schematics and electrical documentation (AutoCAD Electrical or EPLAN)
• Collaborate with Production, Maintenance, and Quality teams to improve uptime and process reliability
• Follow and support compliance with GMP, HACCP, NFPA 70E, and OSHA standards
• Contribute to project planning, testing, validation, and startup activities

What You Bring

• Degree or technical certification in Electrical Engineering, Mechatronics, Automation, or a related field
• 3–5 years of hands-on experience in automation and controls within manufacturing environments
• Working knowledge of PLC/HMI programming and industrial automation platforms
• Familiarity with industrial networks (EtherNet/IP, Modbus, Profinet)
• Ability to troubleshoot equipment issues with guidance when needed
• Willingness to travel regionally and participate in on-call rotations
• Strong communication skills and a growth-oriented mindset

Why Join Us

• Competitive salary with clear advancement opportunities
• Direct mentorship from senior controls engineers

• Paid time off and holidays

• A team culture that values accountability, learning, and performance
