The ideal candidate will collaborate with a team of engineers and designers to deliver technical expertise to clients in both the public and private sectors. Key responsibilities include engineering control systems, developing process control strategies, planning and implementing automation solutions, and providing construction-related support. The role also involves conducting detailed analyses and planning studies, as well as designing water and wastewater treatment facilities and pumping stations. Expertise in equipment selection, layout design for equipment and communication networks, and coordinating process control designs with other engineering fields is essential. Familiarity with PLC, HMI, and SCADA systems-including their planning, programming, upgrades, and design-is expected. Depending on project complexity, responsibilities may be carried out as the lead for instrumentation and control systems (I&C) or as a team member under the guidance of a senior I&C engineer.
