What You Will Be Doing:

The company you will be working for is a large, 45-year-old company with facilities throughout the United States and around the World. Their growth was quite meteoric through the 90s and early-2000s, in some sense they are catching up to that growth. Process control and automation of their manufacturing plants has been more of a recent undertaking - they are automating more and more of their plant processes and will be moving towards robotics in the coming years. This role will mostly support regional facilities, as well as a plant in NC and a plant in GA. Occasional overseas trips are offered as well. Travel for this role will average about 20% and at times, will be higher during start-ups. One of the selling points of this job is the variety of work - it's not the same thing everyday and there is also a variety of desk-work and field-work.

B.S. degree in Chemical Engineering or Electrical Engineering preferred, will consider someone with no degree with commensurate experience 5+ years of previous process control experience, out of manufacturing (chemicals, foods, widgets, etc.) Must have experience with programming/writing code on PLC systems, ideally for Allen Bradley and Siemens Should have process control design experience Looking for experience with SCADA Ignition and FANUC Robotics Willingness to travel as needed (average 20%)
