Base Pay Range $90,000.00/yr - $150,000.00/yr

A leading systems integrator in the industrial automation space is expanding their controls and SCADA team. They’re taking on major projects across water/wastewater, manufacturing, data centres, energy, and large-scale infrastructure — and they need an experienced engineer who can deliver high-impact solutions from design through commissioning.

This is a role for someone who wants ownership, variety, and the chance to work on meaningful automation projects with cutting-edge platforms.

What You’ll Be Doing

Designing, developing, and implementing SCADA systems (Ignition, Rockwell FactoryTalk, Wonderware, etc.)

Programming PLCs across major platforms (Rockwell/Allen Bradley, Siemens, Schneider — others welcome)

Building HMI/SCADA dashboards, historian setups, alarming, and reporting

Supporting system architecture, networking, and industrial communications

FAT/SAT, site commissioning, troubleshooting, and ongoing system support

Working closely with clients, project managers, and cross‑functional engineering teams

Contributing to documentation, design standards, and continuous improvement

What You Bring

3–15+ years in automation, controls, or SCADA engineering

Solid experience with

Ignition

or

Rockwell

(FactoryTalk View, Studio5000, etc.)

Strong PLC programming and troubleshooting background

Ability to interpret electrical drawings, P&IDs, and project specs

Experience in at least one domain: Water/Wastewater, Manufacturing, Oil & Gas, Power, Food & Bev, or Data Centres

Comfortable working independently, client‑facing, and delivering projects end‑to‑end

Bonus: Ignition Gold/SCADA Certifications, networking experience, or MES exposure

Why This Role Stands Out

Work on high‑visibility projects with major end users and EPCs

Exposure to modern SCADA architectures and enterprise‑scale Ignition builds

Growth routes into Lead Engineer, Project Manager, or Solutions Architect

Supportive team, training budget, and technical freedom

Flexibility around remote work depending on project phase

Seniority Level Mid-Senior level

Employment Type Full-time
