THE OPPORTUNITY

One of North America's fastest-growing high-speed beverage manufacturers is adding an OT/Controls Systems Engineer to its Glendale, AZ facility. This is a high-visibility, on-site role at the intersection of Information Technology and Operational Technology, where the work you do has a direct and immediate impact on production. You will serve as the on-site technical resource: keeping critical manufacturing systems running, supporting the automation team, and leading both reactive problem-solving and proactive project work. Priorities shift based on what the plant needs, and the right candidate will thrive in that variability. The role is roughly 50% plant-floor OT systems (automation and controls support) and 50% IT/OT infrastructure and systems integration.

RESPONSIBILITIES

Systems Support & Maintenance

• Monitor, maintain, and troubleshoot OT and IT systems, including MES and OEE platforms critical to daily operations.
• Support and troubleshoot PLC, SCADA, and HMI systems across the plant floor (Rockwell, Siemens, Ignition, or equivalent platforms).
• Provide Tier 2 technical support to the automation team — independently diagnosing and resolving escalated incidents.
• Operate effectively across both legacy control systems and modern technology platforms. Project Execution
• Plan and lead small-to-mid-scale projects independently, including system upgrades, plant-requested changes, and self-initiated improvements.
• Develop and execute preventive monitoring strategies to address potential issues before they affect production.
• Communicate project status and technical findings clearly to plant leadership and operations stakeholders. Cross-Functional Collaboration
• Partner with the OT team, plant and operations leadership, and the broader operations team.
• Translate complex technical matters into clear, actionable information for non-technical colleagues and leadership.

Qualifications:

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

Beyond technical qualifications, this role calls for intellectual curiosity, sound independent judgment, and the ability to drive toward resolution in a fast-moving environment. You take ownership of outcomes, communicate with confidence at every level of the organization, and are energized by challenges that do not come with a defined playbook. A genuine appetite for continuous learning is essential in an environment where technology continues to evolve.
