Combustion Burner Controls Engineer

BS Electrical Engineering with 5 years experience designing control/SCADA systems for combustion and burner controls.

Industrial steam plant control system integrator seeks an experienced electrical engineer for design of combustion control and burner management systems. Prior PLC programming experience  is mandatory although knowledge of boilers, burners, controls and instrumentation is preferred but can be taught to right candidate. Strong technical skills and a demonstrated ability to meet goals and objectives are required to be a successful contributor.

Typical duties include:

• Review of project specifications to assure compliance with customer requirements.
• Creation of control system wiring diagrams and logic diagrams using AutoCAD
• Programming of various Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs) and touch screen operator interfaces to perform the required control algorithms. We typically utilize Allen Bradley CompactLogix and ControlLogix processors but also offer solutions using other processors as well.
• Programming of various loop controllers for combustion control systems. We typically utilize Siemens 353s, Preferred PCCIIIs and Yokogawa YS1700s.
• SCADA System programming. We typically offer solutions using Proficy iFIX and Wonderware.
• Selection of instrumentation for flow, pressure, and temperature measurement applications.
• Technical support of the company’s sales efforts.
• Generation of technical submittals, operator training instructions and Operations and Maintenance Manuals
• Support of the control system fabrication, commissioning and startup activities. This effort may require regional travel and typically involves factory testing of the control cabinets, supervision of the installation effort, troubleshooting, calibration, loop testing, safety limit testing and combustion testing in conjunction with our field service engineers.
