We read this from the posting text with AI. Skim the description below before ruling yourself out.
Why we read it this way (7)
This is an industrial controls/automation engineering role — it does not map cleanly to any standard BLS computer occupation. 15-1299 (Computer Occupations, All Other) is used as the closest available code; 15-1211 (Computer Systems Analysts) is noted as a secondary possibility given the systems configuration and integration focus.
The degree requirement is 'B.S. in engineering OR 10 years of controls-related experience,' making the degree substitutable by experience — the degree requirement is therefore treated as None.
The 10-year figure is the role-level experience gate (controls-related experience); the 5-year figure is a sub-requirement specifically for process control implementation in processing plants, not a separate role-level gate.
The office is in downtown Houston; project work requires travel up to 40% to Midland/West Texas and Mont Belvieu areas.
Honeywell Experion DCS and Triconex Safety Systems configuration are explicitly called out as 'a plus,' so they are marked as preferred.
No compensation figures were provided in the posting.
Ignored 1 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): HMI configuration.
