Process Control Engineer

Process Controls Engineer | DCS | Experion ABB 800xA Location: North Louisiana, or remote across the south-central (Relocation Available) Salary: $140 000 + (Depending on experience) Travel: Approximately 40-50% What you'll do You would lead full project life cycles, DCS-led, on Honeywell Experion and ABB 800xA (DeltaV and other DCS experience is very welcome too). That means taking a process from P&ID and control narrative through design, configuration, commissioning and site acceptance. Alongside the engineering you would develop Scope of Work packages, proposals and cost estimates, and act as the primary technical liaison between the company and the customer. Expect intermittent travel to sites, weekly in pattern, out during the week and home by Friday. No long tours away for months. What you'll need You do not need to tick every platform on a job spec. What matters is real process controls depth and genuine project ownership from design through commissioning, not configuration or maintenance alone. DCS experience is the differentiator, ideally Honeywell Experion or ABB 800xA, though strong DeltaV or other DCS backgrounds transfer well. You should be comfortable reading P&IDs, schematics and control panel drawings, and confident enough to scope work and stand in front of a client. Around 7 or more years of hands-on experience is the level. A degree in Electrical or Control Systems Engineering is a plus. Pulp and paper or specialty chemical experience is a real bonus. Why this role is worth considering This is a consultant seat, not a heads-down programming seat, so it is a genuine step up in ownership and client exposure for a strong controls engineer. Reasons engineers join include: Full life-cycle ownership across a varied customer base, not one plant or one platform Real influence in a growing regional office with direct access to leadership A DCS-led process controls focus rather than another discrete Rockwell role Sensible travel, weekly pattern, home on Fridays, no long stints away Strong salary and a low cost, high quality of life base in north Louisiana The working setup The role is based out of the north Louisiana office, and being on-site there is the strong preference. Remote is possible for the right person already living in the south-central US. Relocation support would be a conversation. Travel runs at roughly 40 to 50%. The kind of person who will do well This suits a self-directed process controls engineer who enjoys owning a project end to end and dealing directly with customers. If you want to stay purely heads-down in code, need constant direction, or are looking for a fully remote seat with no travel, this will not be the right fit. If you have process controls and DCS experience and want a role with real ownership and a client-facing edge, it is worth a conversation. Pay: $140,000.00 - $165,000.00 per year Work Location: Hybrid remote in Monroe, LA 71201
