We are looking for a Control Techniques Specialist to join our engineering team and support the design, implementation, and maintenance of advanced control systems across a variety of industrial applications. This role is ideal for someone with a strong background in automation, electrical engineering, and process optimization. The successful candidate will work closely with cross-functional teams to ensure that control systems are efficient, reliable, and aligned with operational goals.
As a Control Techniques Specialist, you will be responsible for developing and configuring control strategies using PLCs, SCADA systems, and other industrial automation tools. You will also be involved in troubleshooting and upgrading existing systems, ensuring compliance with safety and regulatory standards, and providing technical support to operations and maintenance teams.
This position requires a deep understanding of control theory, instrumentation, and industrial communication protocols. You should be comfortable working in fast-paced environments and capable of managing multiple projects simultaneously. Strong analytical skills and attention to detail are essential, as is the ability to communicate complex technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders.
Key areas of focus include process control optimization, system integration, data acquisition, and performance monitoring. You will also contribute to the development of documentation, training materials, and standard operating procedures to support long-term system sustainability.
If you are passionate about automation and control systems and want to make a tangible impact on industrial efficiency and innovation, we encourage you to apply.
