Automation Engineer, PLC and SCADA

Roanoke area, Virginia. Permanent, on site. $100,000 to $110,000.

A controls business that builds custom control systems, mostly water and wastewater SCADA alongside HVAC controls, is hiring an automation engineer for its Roanoke area team. You'd report to a project manager and work with panel builders and field technicians.

You'd design, program and troubleshoot PLC and SCADA systems for industrial and municipal clients, build the HMI and SCADA screens, then commission, test and start them up on site. You'd also improve existing systems, write the documentation and help with planning, estimating and specifications.

You'll need hands on PLC programming on Allen-Bradley, Siemens or Schneider that you've written and commissioned yourself, and industrial protocols such as EtherNet/IP and Modbus. Ignition, Wonderware, FactoryTalk or VTScada is a plus. PLC programmers from outside water and wastewater are welcome.

Travel is up to 20%, about half of it local, so you'll need a valid driver's license.

Benefits include three weeks of vacation, 10 holidays plus 2 floating, a 401(k) match up to 4%, tuition reimbursement up to $5,500, and medical, dental, vision, life, FSA, HSA and EAP.

If that's you, send me your resume and we can have a chat.
