RESPONSIBILITIES :
This position requires the ability to deliver innovative automation solutions and design standards either self-directedly or as a leader of a team. The candidate must be able to conceptualize detail and implement control systems for industrial processes and machinery that meet our customers requirements. This involves the development of a control system architecture selecting the components to be used detailing schematic diagrams and system documentation programming controllers (PLC DCS RTU) programming the process visualization (HMI / SCADA) developing databases for archiving / displaying historical system data and implementing / commissioning the control system at the clients facility. Knowledge of controller programming languages such as Ladder Sequential Function Chart Structured Text and others to achieve the desired results is required. Also having knowledge of standard programming languages such as and SQL for the development of HMI / SCADA systems is preferredFor larger systems experience with industrial networking used to connect control system components and instrumentation is preferred. The Controls Engineer would design detail and implement a variety of fiber wired and wireless systems using industrial protocols (Ethernet / IP Profinet Mod bus etc.)This position oftentimes requires the following project management responsibilities : developing project execution plans work breakdown structures and associated budgets task prioritization and scheduling task ordering time tracking and reporting financial tracking and reporting early problem identification conflict management / resolution leading and supporting a team and attending project status meetings. Also includes overseeing daily operations and activities of a project(s) up to $1M. This position is often responsible for ensuring the overall profitability of the projectThe ideal candidate must have a diverse engineering skillset with the ability to work independently. Will act as technical lead on projects and guide lower-level engineers and technicians. Could also act as Project Manager on smaller projects.Requirements
