Controls Design Engineer

This is a Controls Engineer opportunity based in Indianapolis, IN, focused on designing, programming, commissioning, and troubleshooting electrical control systems for water/wastewater and other process-driven environments. This individual will work with PLCs, HMIs/SCADA systems, VFDs, motor controls, instrumentation, and industrial networks such as EtherNet/IP and Modbus. They will be responsible for reading P&IDs and control narratives, translating process requirements into controls designs and programming, developing electrical control schematics and instrument loop drawings, and supporting hands-on startup, I/O checkout, commissioning, and field troubleshooting. The ideal candidate will have an Associate or Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Computer Science, or a related technical field along with controls design and PLC/HMI programming experience. Direct water/wastewater experience, including exposure to treatment plants, pump stations, chemical feed, filtration, aeration, disinfection, or sludge processes, is strongly preferred, although candidates from process environments such as food & beverage, chemical, or pharmaceutical manufacturing can also be considered if they have some exposure to water treatment. Candidates should have at least some familiarity with Rockwell/Allen-Bradley systems and be comfortable troubleshooting independently and communicating directly with Project Management and customers. The position will be primarily office-based for the first six months with time spent in field and production environments as needed. Travel is approximately 20%, with most travel occurring locally within 50 miles. The targeted compensation is $80,000–$105,000 base salary plus a 6% bonus and the possibility of overtime.
