For those who’d rather be on the move than behind a desk.

We’re opening our 2026 hiring pipeline now for curious, adaptable problem-solvers who love travel, hands-on work, and being part of a team that actually knows your name.

I f you’re the kind of person who can laugh through flight delays, figure things out on the fly, and find satisfaction in solving complex problems, this might be your perfect fit.

We believe in transparency.

Our four-week paid training is designed to prepare technically skilled individuals for the field.

Success in training requires a basic foundation in electrical systems, programming, and communication networking.

If you’re new to these areas, this role may not yet be the right fit.

Why You’ll Love Working With Us Work + Travel, Combined.

You’ll experience new cities, tackle unique projects, and earn all your own travel rewards while working directly with customers across North America.

There is no office to report to, and you’ll be away from home while you’re working.

Fair Pay That Grows With You.

Starting salary $60,000–$75,000 , depending on location, education, and experience.

You’ll also receive per diem for meals, mileage reimbursement, utilization bonuses, weekend bonuses and more.

We don’t have endless budgets, but we do have trust, teamwork, and appreciation of knowing every person by name.

Room to Grow.

We invest in your development through paid training, annual merit raises, and a 5% salary increase after six months.

Learn, advance, and build a career that can take you in multiple directions.

We will be your biggest cheerleaders of growth, even if you’re not with ProAutomated forever.  Real Benefits + Real Flexibility.

Health, dental, and life insurance, a matching 401(k), short & long term disability options, paid vacation, and flexible time off after 18 months.

We take care of you, on and off the job.

A Team That Gives You Community.

We’re a smaller, people-first company where teamwork, adaptability, and humor are part of the job.

All of our leaders have grown into their positions at ProAutomated, so your manager has done what they’re asking you to do.

We hold each other to high standards, accept none of us are perfect, and push for excellence.

You’ll be surrounded by people who have your back.

What You’ll Do You’ll be part of the team that keeps automation projects moving.

At ProAutomated, we don’t install systems, we partner with system integrators and manufacturers to ensure everything works flawlessly when it matters most.

Support data center startups, performing on-site mechanical, electrical, and control checks.

Lead startup, checkout, and acceptance testing for warehouse fulfillment and manufacturing systems in industries like food and beverage.

Partner with automation and controls engineers to test, troubleshoot, and validate their systems on-site.

Provide clear communication and updates to customers and project teams to keep progress smooth and accurate.

  • 5 on - 2 off , 10 on – 4 off , or 14 on – 7 off .
  • Every project brings new challenges and new locations.
  • Work with various customers, getting invaluable real world experience with massive companies, but with the ProAutomated team supporting you.
