Support the integrity of automation systems across well pads, batteries, SWD sites, and compressor stations.
Programming & Commissioning - Program and modify logic in Studio 5000 (Ladder, Function Block, Structured Text). Configure and commission new installations using P&IDs, Cause & Effect matrices, and control narratives. Design and maintain FactoryTalk View HMI screens and alarming systems.
Data & Systems Management - Use SAP or other CMMS tools for work planning, documentation, and maintenance tracking. Adhere to Management-of-Change (MOC) procedures and corporate programming standards.
Safety & Compliance - Work safely around energized systems and in confined spaces. Follow all OSHA, NEC, NFPA, and corporate safety protocols.

Minimum Qualifications

Education: Associate degree in Instrumentation, Automation, or related field OR GED with equivalent experience.

Experience - 3+ years as an Automation Specialist

Technical Skills - Strong proficiency with Allen-Bradley (Studio 5000, FactoryTalk View). Knowledge of analog/discrete I/O, Ethernet/IP, and Modbus communications. Comfortable reading and interpreting P&IDs, wiring diagrams, and loop sheets.

Other Requirements - Ability to work independently and travel to remote field locations. Capable of operating aerial lifts and working under supplied air when required.
