The posting

A well-established, growth-oriented process automation and software systems firm in the South is adding a full time Project Engineer - Electrical/Controls to its engineering team. This is a true dual-role position — part project lead, part hands-on technical contributor — built for someone who thrives when no two days look the same.

You'll own small-to-mid-sized brownfield modernization and greenfield projects from FEED through handoff, working across a range of industries in the Southwest area. Project values typically run $250K to $1.5M, which means real scope and accountability without the bureaucracy of mega-project environments.

If you're the kind of engineer who wants to lead projects, stay technically sharp, and see the results of your work — then consider this opportunity.

What You'll Be Doing

  • Lead projects from front-end design (FEED) through commissioning and handoff
  • Manage schedules, milestones, and project financials — you're the primary client contact during execution
  • Define electrical design scope and documentation standards for each engagement
  • Direct systems engineers and electrical designers to keep projects on track
  • Develop and manage construction subcontract packages with established third-party contractors
  • Oversee cutover planning, including live/hot cutovers
  • Step in to self-perform design and systems engineering work when the project calls for it

This is a high-ownership role. You'll manage these smaller projects and be the Project Engineer depending on what the project needs.

What You Bring

Technical Qualifications:

  • 5+ years of experience in a project engineering role within industrial automation or controls
  • DCS and/or PLC control systems, HMIs, and PC networking experience
  • Working knowledge of industrial network protocols: Modbus, Ethernet/IP, DeviceNet, Profibus, OPC
  • Proficiency in low-voltage AC (480V and below), DC power systems, and grounding
  • Competency in motor controls, MCCs, VFDs, and process instrumentation
  • Ability to read, interpret, and redline P&IDs, Electrical One-Lines, and Plot Plans
  • AutoCAD Electrical experience is a plus
  • Bachelor's or Associate's degree in a relevant technical discipline (EE, EET, or similar)

Who You Are:

  • Self-directed — you can manage competing priorities without needing constant oversight
  • Calm under pressure — you've worked outages, cutovers, and start-ups and know how to stay effective
  • A clear communicator — your project updates and documentation are accurate and on time
  • Flexible — you're equally effective working solo or leading a team
  • Comfortable traveling — regional customer visits, including overnight stays are part of the job

Why This Role

  • Work on a variety of projects — brownfield modernization, greenfield builds, software integration — no repetitive single-scope assignments
  • Join a firm with strong client relationships and a track record of successful project delivery
  • Operate with real autonomy in a role that values judgment over checkbox compliance
  • Be part of a technical engineering team that takes both quality and customer relationships seriously

This is a full-time position with a competitive compensation and benefits package. Only candidates not requiring sponsorship will be considered.

Why it works

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
