The role

You will own the control systems that run the plant — DCS, PLC, historian and the integrations that keep a batch record honest.

What you will do

  • Maintain, configure and improve DeltaV, PLC and SCADA systems on the plant floor
  • Support automated batch execution and recipe management
  • Troubleshoot control system issues, including during production
  • Manage change control and validation for automation changes
  • Partner with IT/OT on network, historian and data integrity

What success looks like at 12 months

Automation-attributable downtime is down, changes go through validation without rework, and operators trust the system rather than working around it.

What we require

  • Experience with industrial control systems in a regulated or high-consequence environment
  • Understanding of process instrumentation and control loops
  • Discipline around change control and documentation
  • Availability for occasional off-hours support of a 24/7 site

What we would like, but will teach you

  • DeltaV or Rockwell experience specifically
  • GMP automation and CSV experience
  • Navy nuclear, aviation electronics or comparable military technical background

If you meet the required list, apply. We cap the preferred list at four items on purpose, and we would rather read an application from someone who is 70% there and hungry.

Military & veteran candidates

Navy nuclear electronics technicians and aviation electronics backgrounds do very well in this role.
