The posting

Woodard & Curran is an employee-owned engineering, science, and operations firm dedicated to clean water, a safe environment, healthy communities, and happy people. We foster an inclusive, collaborative culture that supports professional growth, flexibility, and meaningful work, empowering our employees to make a lasting impact on our clients, communities, and the planet.

Woodard & Curran is seeking a dynamic, client-focused SCADA Automation & Controls Engineer to join our Team, supporting projects across the New England Region, including Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and Connecticut. In this role, you’ll collaborate with municipal and some industrial clients to develop, implement and manage a variety of water, wastewater, and remediation projects, with a focus on automation and control systems.

You’ll support projects from planning through completion, with a team of project managers, technical managers, project engineers, and operations staff to ensure delivery within scope, schedule, and budget. Regular client interaction is key—you’ll serve as a trusted advisor, keeping clients and our project managers informed on project status and identifying future opportunities to enhance their operations.

This position involves regular travel to job sites (typically within driving distance) to support SCADA project startups, participate in preconstruction and kick-off meetings, and maintain strong client relationships throughout the project lifecycle.

Who are we looking for:

The successful candidate will join a strong team of motivated individuals to execute projects for our municipal and industrial water and wastewater clients. The candidate will provide support for medium to large implementation projects that may be standalone or multidisciplinary SCADA projects. It is critical for the candidate to understand and meet project requirements while working within the project’s scope, schedule, and budget constraints. Because the candidate will interface with a wide array of internal and external stakeholders, the candidate must have strong communication skills and technical skills. Additionally, the successful candidate will work closely with project engineers, technical managers, and project managers and contribute to initiatives aligned with improved performance and efficiency.

Offering Flexible Remote/Hybrid Work/Onsite Schedule: Hybrid work schedule (consisting of office, remote, and onsite pending project needs)

Travel: Regional travel up to up to 80%. Occasional overnight travel.

What you will be doing at Woodard & Curran

  • Participate in site investigations to gather information about the client’s systems, equipment and instruments to develop project plans and cost estimates to proactively maintain and upgrade the system;
  • Develop process logic for Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs) used in the monitoring and control of water and wastewater treatment systems;
  • Design graphical screens that represent process equipment and instrumentation in the Human Machine Interface (HMI) software packages used by our clients;
  • Design graphical screens for the Operator Interface Terminals (OITs) utilized in our SCADA systems;
  • Create automated reports, via specialized reporting software, to collect process information monitored by the SCADA system for use by the client or submission to regulatory agencies;
  • Participate in the installation (oversight of contractors and guidance in wiring terminations), checkout and modification of the field wiring associated with the equipment and instruments connected to the SCADA system;
  • Configure and calibrate instrumentation, including level, pressure, flow, temperature, process analyzers and more, and connecting to the SCADA system;
  • Configure and commission industrial networking hardware, including Ethernet switches, wireless access points and licensed frequency radios;
  • Participate in the testing and startup of the process equipment, instruments and SCADA system to ensure the SCADA system monitors and controls the equipment as intended;
  • Train operations personnel on the use, maintenance and troubleshooting of the SCADA system hardware, software and installation;
  • Participate in QA/QC activities for both the design deliverables produced by the design team and the code developed by the controls team.
  • Understand that safety is paramount and adhere to safety protocol.

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.
