Automation Engineer

We’re partnering with a specialized automation consulting group supporting a large-scale system modernization initiative — and they’re looking to bring on Automation Engineers with DeltaV experience who are ready to expand into new platforms. This is not a maintenance role — this is true system transformation work . What You’ll Be Doing Supporting a major control system upgrade (DeltaV → 800xA environment) Converting and building control strategies for process systems (including fermentation) Assisting with system configuration, commissioning, and startup activities Collaborating with senior engineers to deliver modernized, scalable automation systems Why This Role Stands Out Opportunity to expand beyond DeltaV into 800xA (highly marketable skillset) Work on a long-term, high-impact project (~2 years) Be part of a small, high-caliber engineering team (quality over volume) Gain exposure to system upgrades vs. day-to-day support work Strong technical leadership onsite to support growth ✅ What We’re Looking For ~3+ years of DeltaV (Emerson) experience Background in automation / controls engineering Experience with: Batch processes / configuration Commissioning / startup Process control systems Exposure to regulated or industrial environments (pharma, biotech, chemical, etc.) Ability to work onsite in North Carolina Any exposure to 800xA (ABB) Experience with system upgrades or migrations Familiarity with fermentation or process manufacturing environments Location: Onsite in North Carolina Schedule: 40 hours/week Start: Rolling (initial hire ASAP, additional hires over coming months) Who This Is Perfect For This is ideal for an engineer who: Wants to break out of a single-system career path Is looking for long-term project stability Enjoys hands-on engineering + learning new platforms Wants to be part of meaningful system upgrades — not just support tickets If this sounds like something you’d be open to exploring, feel free to reach out directly or apply here — happy to walk you through the details. #J-18808-Ljbffr
