Controls Engineer

Complete Control Solutions is a small systems integrator performing engineering and industrial automation work for all sorts of customers from small shops to big plants on projects that range from “can you just fix this program really quick” to fully integrated systems. We’re not corporate, we’re not stiff, and we do our best work when there’s room for a laugh or two (sometimes a little inappropriate, fair warning).

• What This Job Is Really About

We’re looking for a Controls Engineer who can roll up their sleeves, program PLCs, troubleshoot in the field, and keep projects moving. You don’t need to have management experience today, but if you’re good at this and want to grow, we’d love to train you up for future leadership.

Draw schematics, layouts, one-lines, and components in AutoCAD Electrical

Generate BOMs, and other docs

Keep drawings up to date and accurate

Travel about 50%

Document your work clearly (saves headaches later)

Other random stuff that comes up—we’re a small team.

On-Call Rotation

One week per month you’re on call

Must respond to customer within 1 hour;

Must be able to get into the office within 2 hours if onsite support is required

Flat on-call pay + overtime for any actual call time

Bachelor’s Degree in Electrical / Software / Electronics Engineering (or related field)

3–5 years in Controls / Automation (or you’ve just been doing this kind of work and can prove it)

Comfort with analog signals (0-20mA, 4-20mA, 0-10VDC, etc.)

Familiar with NEC basics

Solid computer skills, some networking knowledge

Can read electrical schematics, layouts, one-lines, and know your components
