Field Service Engineer - Automation Industry
$60k - $75kProAutomated Inc.
We’re opening our 2026 hiring pipeline now for curious, adaptable problem-solvers who love travel, hands-on work, and being part of a team that actually knows your name.
If you’re the kind of person who can laugh through flight delays, figure things out on the fly, and find satisfaction in solving complex problems, this might be your perfect fit.
We believe in transparency. Our four-week paid training is designed to prepare technically skilled individuals for the field. Success in training requires a basic foundation in electrical systems, programming, and communication networking. If you’re new to these areas, this role may not yet be the right fit.
Why You’ll Love Working With Us
Work + Travel, Combined.
You’ll experience new cities, tackle unique projects, and earn all your own travel rewards while working directly with customers across North America. There is no office to report to, and you’ll be away from home while you’re working.
Fair Pay That Grows With You.
Starting salary $60,000–$75,000, depending on location, education, and experience.
You’ll also receive per diem for meals, mileage reimbursement, utilization bonuses, weekend bonuses and more. We don’t have endless budgets, but we do have trust, teamwork, and appreciation of knowing every person by name.
Room to Grow.
We invest in your development through paid training, annual merit raises, and a 5% salary increase after six months. Learn, advance, and build a career that can take you in multiple directions. We will be your biggest cheerleaders of growth, even if you’re not with ProAutomated forever.
Real Benefits + Real Flexibility.
Health, dental, and life insurance, a matching 401(k), short & long term disability options, paid vacation, and flexible time off after 18 months. We take care of you, on and off the job.
A Team That Gives You Community.
We’re a smaller, people-first company where teamwork, adaptability, and humor are part of the job. All of our leaders have grown into their positions at ProAutomated, so your manager has done what they’re asking you to do. We hold each other to high standards, accept none of us are perfect, and push for excellence. You’ll be surrounded by people who have your back.
What You’ll Do
You’ll be part of the team that keeps automation projects moving. At ProAutomated, we don’t install systems, we partner with system integrators and manufacturers to ensure everything works flawlessly when it matters most.
- Support data center startups, performing on-site mechanical, electrical, and control checks.
- Lead startup, checkout, and acceptance testing for warehouse fulfillment and manufacturing systems in industries like food and beverage.
- Partner with automation and controls engineers to test, troubleshoot, and validate their systems on-site.
- Provide clear communication and updates to customers and project teams to keep progress smooth and accurate.
- Typical travel rotations follow a days on & off schedule: 5 on - 2 off, 10 on – 4 off, or 14 on – 7 off. Every project brings new challenges and new locations.
- Work with various customers, getting invaluable real world experience with massive companies, but with the ProAutomated team supporting you.
What We’re Looking For
- A genuine love of travel, expect to be away from home on rotation (we’ll handle the logistics).
- Preferred experience: have a working knowledge of electrical systems, programming, and communication networking skills.
- Adaptability and grit, you thrive when plans change and challenges pop up.
- Strong communication and problem-solving skills.
- Must live within 50 miles of a major airport (relocation assistance available).
- Personal vehicle within 45 days of employment (for local projects).
- Authorized to work in the U.S.
- A technical degree or equivalent hands-on experience (3+ years) in a related field such as electrical, mechanical, or automation engineering.

- Ability to walk long distances across large facilities or job sites as part of daily work activities.
- Climb ladders, stairs, or work at heights.
- Lift, carry, and move up to 50 lbs.
