  • Coordinate with mechanical, software, execution, and external partners to deliver controls solutions for standalone or integrated projects.
  • Own the controls solution definition, equipment requirements, bill of materials, cost estimate, schedule, assumptions, and exclusions.
  • Provide a clear post-award handoff of the solution, key assumptions, and technical requirements to execution teams.
  • Share technical knowledge and guide colleagues on ASRS controls applications, estimating practices, and solution development.

  • Working knowledge of PLCs, HMIs, SCADA systems, drives, safety controls, industrial communications, network architecture, and system interfaces, with experience using Rockwell, Siemens, or a comparable industrial controls platform.
  • Ability to interpret electrical schematics, PLC programs, and complex or less clearly defined controls issues and translate technical information into clear solution requirements.
  • Strong skills in customer discovery, verbal and written communication, and presentation, with the ability to define customer requirements, influence solution decisions, and clearly communicate technical alternatives, tradeoffs, and value.
  • Proficiency with Microsoft Word, Excel, and related business tools used to develop technical documentation, cost estimates, and customer proposals.
  • Controls estimating experience is preferred, including labor, hardware, software, commissioning, travel, implementation resources, and project schedules.
  • Knowledge of vendor capabilities, contractor performance, labor markets, and pricing trends.
