  • 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
