DeltaV Expertise Required | Relocation Package for US Candidates | Mining Focus


Confidential Opportunity via Specialist Recruiter


I’m exclusively partnering with a global leader in industrial automation and software integration to secure a Lead I&C Engineer for their Tucson, Arizona hub. This is a high-impact role driving control system design and commissioning for mining and heavy industry clients—DeltaV experience is essential. Copper mining or similar process environments? That’s your edge.


The Role


  • Lead full-lifecycle DeltaV projects: investigation, design, programming, documentation, commissioning.
  • Manage budgets, schedules, and multidisciplinary teams to hit quality and delivery targets.
  • Mentor engineers, enforce standards, and champion innovative process control solutions.
  • Conduct site visits for inspections and commissioning activities.
  • Identify risks, evaluate emerging tech, and deliver productivity/safety gains for clients.


Essential Requirements


  • 10 years in control systems engineering with proven DeltaV leadership (design through commissioning).
  • Degree in Electrical/Instrumentation/Control Engineering
  • Copper mining or equivalent extractive industry experience strongly preferred.
  • PLC/SCADA programming, CAD, simulation tools; full grasp of industrial automation standards.
  • Willing to wear PPE on industrial sites as required.
  • US work authorization; full relocation support from any state.
  • Rockwell experience beneficial, but not essential.


What’s In It For You


  • Senior-level salary package eflecting your DeltaV & mining expertise.
  • Relocation package
  • Lead marquee projects, mentor talent, and shape global engineering standards.
  • Tucson lifestyle: 300 sunny days, mountains, and no state income tax on some benefits.
  • Clear path to technology leadership and business influence.


Next Step


Send your resume a brief DeltaV project summary (mining context ideal) to me directly. I’ll personally review and arrange confidential discussions—no client details shared, nor yours with the client until mutual interest. Shortlisted candidates only. All applications 100% confidential.
