Job Description

We are currently seeking an experienced Controls Engineer for a well-established, nationally recognized engineering firm that delivers innovative solutions across architecture, engineering, planning, and construction. This organization is known for its collaborative culture and commitment to projects that make a meaningful impact on communities.

Location: Denver, CO

In this role, you'll be involved in the full lifecycle of controls engineering—from design and programming to field testing, commissioning, and startup—offering strong project ownership and hands-on experience.

What you'll be doing:

  • Design instrumentation and control systems
  • Program PLCs and HMIs
  • Develop control panels for process equipment
  • Support design of power and control electrical systems as needed
  • Participate in field testing, commissioning, and startup activities
  • Travel to client sites for controls-related work

What we're looking for:

  • Bachelor's degree in Engineering (Chemical, Electrical, Mechanical, or related)
  • 4+ years of relevant experience in controls engineering
  • Ability to travel 30%

Preferred experience:

  • PLC platforms such as Rockwell, Siemens, or Modicon, along with HMI development
  • Strong troubleshooting, networking, and programming skills
  • Experience in food & beverage processing environments
  • Background in consulting or construction environments
  • PE license (preferred, not required)
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills

This is a great opportunity for someone who enjoys hands-on engineering work, client interaction, and seeing projects through from concept to completion.
