Job description
Job DescriptionJob DescriptionControl Engineer - Engineer the intelligence behind industrial water recycling You’ll take the lead on the electrical, automation, and instrumentation that make industrial water recycling systems think, move, and protect themselves in the real world.
From sand and aggregate mining to municipal and energy applications, your control strategies will directly drive how critical process equipment performs, recycles, and recovers.
You won’t just “tweak code.” You’ll conceive, design, and program complete automation systems for complex dewatering and bulk material handling processes.
If you live in PLCs, HMIs, and real-world I/O — and want to see your systems run in the field — this is where you step up.
If you’ve built industrial control systems and want more ownership, we want to talk to you.
What You'll Work On You’ll be embedded in an OEM engineering team focused on industrial water recycling and material processing systems:
Industrial electrical systems for water recycling equipment
Instrumentation and control packages for process applications
Dewatering and bulk material processing and transport technologies
Low and medium voltage switchgear for OEM equipment
Control panels, starter panels, and automation systems
PLC, HMI, and SCADA-based automation architectures
Electrical and controls support for sales proposals
Commissioning, troubleshooting, and site support at customer facilities
You’ll be working with PLCs, HMIs, SCADA systems, AutoCAD, and a mix of analog and digital instrumentation including 4–20 mA circuits.
Your core challenge: turn demanding industrial processes into reliable, testable, supportable automation systems that run in harsh environments.
What You'll Be Doing Design and develop electrical systems and instrumentation packages for industrial OEM equipment
Conceive, develop, and program automation systems for process applications
Define and design dewatering and bulk material processing and transport control solutions
Design and select appropriate low and medium voltage switchgear
Conduct shop testing of control panels, starter panels, and automation systems before shipment
Verify that designs comply with engineering principles, business standards, and product requirements
Create innovative, practical control solutions that meet project objectives and constraints
Document technical data in line with engineering policies and procedures
Serve as a key technical resource for automation-related questions across the organization
Collaborate directly with customers and suppliers on technical requirements and solutions
Travel domestically to commission systems and troubleshoot issues at client sites
Support sales and marketing by contributing to automation and controls content in proposals
What We're Looking For Bachelor’s degree in Electrical, Computer, Controls, Industrial, Mechanical Engineering, or related field, or equivalent work experience
1–3+ years of hands-on experience in PLC and HMI programming, SCADA development, and/or control panel design
Background in PLC programming, relay control logic, and HMI programming
Proficiency with AutoCAD for reviewing schematics, specifications, and drawings
Solid analog and digital circuit design skills including 4–20 mA circuits
Hands-on experience with electrical engineering tools and test equipment
Experience in component selection and qualification for control and starter panels
Strong problem-solving skills and attention to detail in an industrial environment
Clear communicator and team player able to work with customers and internal stakeholders
Ability to manage multiple projects and shifting priorities effectively
The Experience That Will Really Get Our Attention You’ve taken ownership of industrial control systems from concept to commissioning, and you’re comfortable both in front of a screen and on a plant floor. You can read a P&ID, sketch a panel, write the PLC logic, build the HMI interface, and then stand in front of the equipment to make it all behave.
The ideal candidate is equally at home reviewing AutoCAD drawings, tuning 4–20 mA loops, and walking a customer through a troubleshooting sequence on-site.
PLC programming • HMI programming • SCADA development • Relay control logic • AutoCAD • Control panel design • Starter panel design • 4–20 mA circuits • Analog/digital circuitry • Electrical test equipment • Component selection
Why This Opportunity? You’re not a tiny piece of a massive system here — you are the electrical and controls lead for real industrial equipment used across multiple sectors, from mining to municipal to energy.
You’ll work directly with an Automation & Controls Manager who knows the work, and you’ll see the full life cycle: design, test, ship, commission, troubleshoot.
On top of the technical challenge, you get solid stability: paid vacation and sick time, company-paid health insurance for employees, and optional benefits including 401(k), dental, short & long-term disability, life insurance, and cancer insurance.
Important Requirements Work location is in-person in Louisville, KY.
Position requires approximately 25–35% domestic travel for site visits, commissioning, and troubleshooting.
Full-time role.
Interested? If you’re ready to own industrial automation systems end to end — and actually see your designs run in the field — let’s get you in the conversation.
