We provide custom control systems for industrial and commercial turbomachinery, as well as a host of other auxiliary turbines, compressors, and power management products and services. Our engineering expertise is designed into industry-standard components to form state-of-the-art turbine and compressor control solutions.

We have a Senior Controls Engineer position available in our Loveland, CO office. This position is responsible for controls engineering project requirements involving PLC / DCS / Turbomachinery Control System programming, HMI/SCADA programming, control panel design, instrumentation specification, check-out support, commissioning, and field service of turbomachinery control systems.

Major Responsibilities

• This position requires the Senior Controls Engineer to conceptualize, detail and implement control systems for industrial processes and machinery that meet our client's requirements. This involves the development of a control system architecture, selecting the components to be used, detailing schematic diagrams and system documentation, programming controllers (PLC,DCS,TCS), programming the process visualization (HMI/SCADA), developing databases for archiving/displaying historical system data and implementing/commissioning the control system at the client's facility
• Knowledge of controller programming languages such as Function Block, Ladder, Sequential Function Chart, Structured Text and others to achieve the desired results is required
• For larger systems, experience with industrial networking used to connect control system components and instrumentation is preferred. The Controls Engineer would design, detail and implement a variety of fiber, wired and wireless systems using industrial protocols (Ethernet/IP, Profinet, Modbus, etc.)
• Project management skills and the ability to self-manage even complex projects; excellent time management and multitasking; flexibility in work environments and schedules; strong written and oral communication skills, essential to building and maintaining good work and customer relationships
