  • Position involves both office-based work and support of operational environments
  • Occasional physical activity may be required, including bending, kneeling, reaching, and working in confined spaces

Compensation & Benefits

  • Competitive salary ranging from $110,000 to $137,000 annually
  • Additional on-call compensation equal to 8% of the employee’s hourly rate during scheduled on-call assignments
  • Comprehensive benefits package, including healthcare, retirement, and paid time off
  • Opportunities for professional development and technical training
  • Stable, mission-driven work environment with long-term career growth potential

Required Qualifications

  • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Management Information Systems, Engineering, or a closely related technical field
  • Minimum of 3 years of recent professional experience implementing and maintaining SCADA, DCS, or industrial control systems
  • Experience supporting PLCs, HMI applications, instrumentation, and industrial automation environments

  • Experience with SQL, database administration, data analysis, and reporting tools
  • Knowledge of electrical, mechanical, control, and process automation systems
  • Strong project management, documentation, troubleshooting, and technical support skills
  • Valid driver’s license and ability to travel to support operational sites as needed
