What this job asks for AI summary

A contract role focused on designing, developing, and commissioning industrial automation and control systems for large-scale engineering and construction projects. Day-to-day work spans DCS, PLC, SCADA, and HMI platforms — covering control narratives, logic diagrams, FAT/SAT testing, and startup support. Best suited to engineers with hands-on experience across major industrial control platforms and multidisciplinary project environments.

Why we read it this way (6)

This role sits at the intersection of electrical/controls engineering and industrial automation software — no single SOC code is a perfect fit. 15-1299 (Computer Occupations, All Other) is used as the closest match given the heavy focus on control system software platforms (DCS, PLC, SCADA, HMI); 15-1241 (Computer Network Architects) is noted as a runner-up given the networking and system architecture components, though neither is ideal for a traditional controls engineering discipline.

The DCS skill is listed with named platform alternatives (Emerson DeltaV, Honeywell, Yokogawa, Siemens, Allen-Bradley, Schneider Electric) as the JD treats these as interchangeable options satisfying the same requirement.

No overall years-of-experience figure is stated in the posting; seniority is assessed as Mid based on the scope of responsibilities and absence of any senior-level or lead framing.

PE license / EIT certification appears under Preferred Qualifications and is marked accordingly.

EPC industry experience (oil & gas, chemicals, mining, power, manufacturing) and commissioning/startup experience are listed under Preferred Qualifications.

Posting is for a contract engagement — the market benchmarks below price full-time roles, so read the comp comparison with that in mind.
