  • Assist in system commissioning, debugging, and ongoing process optimization across multiple sites
  • Support the implementation of alarms, interlocks, and safety functions in accordance with internal standards and relevant codes
  • Collaborate with process, mechanical, and electrical engineers to align automation strategies with system requirements
  • Document system designs, configurations, and revisions for future scaling and maintenance
  • Contribute to developing standard control system templates and architectures for rapid deployment

  • Hands-on experience developing HMIs using Ignition or comparable SCADA platforms
  • Strong understanding of industrial control system architecture, I / O integration, and networked communication protocols
  • Comfortable interpreting P&IDs, wiring diagrams, and control narratives
  • Practical knowledge of safety standards and best practices for industrial controls (NFPA 70E, UL508A, etc.)
  • Proven troubleshooting skills and the ability to work independently in a fast-paced, hands-on environment
  • Willingness to work across both Exeter and Burlington sites as needed
  • Passion for building automation systems that support sustainable technology and scalable innovation
