Koch is seeking an experienced Instrumentation & Controls Engineer to support multiple operating plants across the Central United States. This is a long‑term, open‑ended W2 contract position offering a remote work‑from‑home arrangement with very limited travel and Blue Cross Blue Shield health benefits, providing both career stability and flexibility.

In this role, you will serve as a key technical resource for instrumentation, control systems, and automation—supporting capital projects, plant upgrades, troubleshooting, and safety initiatives across a diverse group of facilities, without being tied to a single site.

• Support PLC, DCS, and SCADA systems, including I/O configuration and system architecture
• Develop control narratives, logic diagrams, and cause‑and‑effect documentation
• Specify and select instruments for pressure, flow, temperature, level, density, and analytical measurements
• Support hazardous area classification and specify appropriately rated instrumentation
• Participate in PHAs, MOCs, PSSRs, commissioning, startups, and incident investigations
• Troubleshoot instrumentation and control system issues impacting plant operations
• Develop instrumentation and control procurement packages and evaluate vendor proposals
• Coordinate with plant operations, maintenance teams, project managers, contractors, and EPC firms
• Recommend and implement improvements to control strategies, system performance, and reliability

What We’re Looking For

• 5 years of industrial instrumentation and controls engineering experience
• Experience supporting operating plants, preferably across multiple facilities
• Strong knowledge of field instrumentation, control systems, and hazardous area practices
• Hands‑on experience with PLCs, DCS, SCADA, instrument loops, panel wiring, and I/O termination
• Ability to read and interpret P&IDs, loop drawings, control logic, and technical documentation
• Bachelor’s degree in Engineering or equivalent applicable experience
