Now Hiring : Senior I&C Designer + I&C Designer (2 Roles) | Hybrid or Fully Remote

We’re supporting a long-standing engineering group that is preparing for a significant wave of new project work arriving in early 2025. As they scale, we’re helping them bring on two Instrumentation & Controls Designers—one Senior-level and one Mid-level—to join a collaborative, well-established team.

These roles offer the chance to work on meaningful industrial and power-focused design projects with highly experienced I&C engineers and designers. If you’re looking for stability, hands-on design ownership, and a team that values accuracy, quality, and mentorship, this is a strong fit.

Location & Work Model

  • Ideally Bothell, WA, but fully remote candidates across the U.S. are welcome to apply
  • Hybrid available for those near an office
  • Little to no travel

Pay Range

  • Senior I&C Designer : $36–60 / hr
  • I&C Designer (Mid-level) : $30–50 / hr
  • Senior Instrumentation & Controls Designer

    What You’ll Do

    You’ll take a lead role in delivering complete I&C design packages—guiding design efforts, coordinating with multiple engineering disciplines, and ensuring the accuracy and quality of project deliverables. You will :

  • Develop full I&C drawing sets : wiring diagrams, loop sheets, installation details, network architecture, junction boxes, etc.
  • Lead and schedule design work for yourself and a small design team
  • Check work for compliance with specifications, standards, and the SOW
  • Perform and oversee drafting in AutoCAD (2D / 3D) or Revit
  • Place instrumentation in 3D models using SmartPlant 3D, AutoCAD Plant 3D, or Revit
  • Support limited engineering functions under I&C engineering personnel
  • Mentor junior designers and maintain project documentation
  • Provide occasional support to Construction and Start-Up teams
  • Track drawing registers and maintain ISO 9001-compliant revision histories
  • What You Bring

  • AA in Drafting, AS in Instrumentation / Industrial Automation, or similar technical education
  • 6+ years of industrial or power plant I&C design experience
  • Deep understanding of instrumentation types, installation practices, and drafting standards
  • Strong AutoCAD 2D / 3D skills and experience with the SmartPlant Suite (SPI, SPPID, SP3D)
  • Ability to read and incorporate P&IDs into I&C design
  • Solid understanding of electronics, PLCs, DCS, transmitters, and electrical fundamentals
  • Strong communication skills and the ability to work with minimal supervision
  • Experience leading design work and mentoring others
  • Instrumentation & Controls Designer (Mid-Level)

    What You’ll Do

    You’ll support the preparation of I&C design packages and work alongside senior team members to deliver accurate, high-quality drawings and models. Responsibilities include :

  • Creating I&C drawings from notes, sketches, vendor materials, SOW / DBD guidance
  • Drafting in AutoCAD (2D / 3D) or Revit
  • Placing instrumentation in 3D models using SmartPlant 3D, AutoCAD Plant 3D, or Revit
  • Cataloging instrumentation and producing reports
  • Producing installation details and material take-offs
  • Reviewing vendor and discipline drawings
  • Supporting Construction and Start-Up teams as needed
  • Maintaining ISO 9001-compliant document revisions
  • Collaborating with designers and engineers to ensure interface accuracy
  • What You Bring

  • AA in Drafting, AS in Instrumentation / Industrial Automation, or equivalent
  • 2+ years of I&C design experience (industrial or power preferred)
  • Strong AutoCAD skills and familiarity with SmartPlant tools
  • Understanding of instrumentation types, drafting standards, and P&ID interpretation
  • Strong math foundation (algebra and trigonometry)
  • Basic understanding of PLCs, DCS, and electrical fundamentals
  • Motivated, detail-oriented, and able to work independently with moderate supervision
  • Why These Roles Stand Out

  • Stable, well-supported engineering group with consistent project wins
  • Opportunities for mentorship (both giving and receiving)
  • Flexible work model—including fully remote for the right candidates
  • A chance to influence and deliver full-cycle I&C design packages
  • Team culture built on collaboration, accuracy, and professional growth
  • Interested?

    If you’d like to explore either opportunity, feel free to reach out directly or send along a resume. We’re happy to walk through the details, team structure, and answer any questions.
