We’re working with a growing automation and custom machinery business looking to add a Controls Engineer to their engineering team.
This is a hands-on role focused on designing, programming, integrating, and supporting control systems for custom industrial equipment. You’ll be involved throughout the full machine lifecycle — from initial design through build, startup, and customer acceptance.

What You’ll Be Doing:
- Develop PLC and HMI programs using platforms such as Allen-Bradley and Siemens
- Support electrical controls design including schematics, panel layouts, and documentation
- Debug, test, and support machinery during build, runoff, and startup phases
- Work closely with Project Managers, Engineers, Manufacturing teams, Electricians, and Customers throughout project delivery
- Troubleshoot controls-related issues both internally and in the field
- Assist with controls BOM creation and component selection
- Contribute ideas around new technologies, process improvements, and controls best practices
What They’re Looking For:
Successful people in this role tend to be technically strong, practical problem-solvers who take ownership of projects and work well with others.
You’ll likely have:
- Experience with PLC/HMI programming and industrial automation systems
- Strong troubleshooting and debugging skills
- The ability to manage multiple projects and priorities effectively
- Experience using AutoCAD Electrical or similar electrical CAD software
- An Associate or Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Controls Engineering, or a related field — or equivalent hands-on experience
Preferred Experience
- Allen-Bradley and/or Siemens controls experience
- Capital equipment or custom machinery background
- Startup, commissioning, or field service experience
Why This Role?
This position offers the opportunity to work on custom equipment projects from concept through completion, with plenty of exposure to machine integration, real-world problem solving, and cross-functional collaboration.
