Job Description
The Instrumentation and Controls (I&C) Engineer is responsible for ensuring the safe, reliable, and fully compliant operation of the plant’s electronic and software based control systems. You’ll support maintenance and troubleshooting efforts by evaluating circuit cards, power supplies, industrial computers, PLCs, controllers, monitors, and system-level software to keep each component performing as designed. Much of your time is spent managing equipment lifecycles – analyzing failures, overseeing repairs or redesigns, maintaining configuration control, and implementing upgrades to mitigate obsolescence. You’ll collaborate frequently with Maintenance, Operations, and other Engineering groups and may occasionally enter plant areas to assist with hands on diagnostics or emergent issues during on call rotations. Success in this role is measured by reduced failure rates, timely corrective action closure, strong configuration management discipline, and effective long term reliability strategies for critical I&C systems.
We are a company committed to creating diverse and inclusive environments where people can bring their full, authentic selves to work every day. We are an equal opportunity/affirmative action employer that believes everyone matters. Qualified candidates will receive consideration for employment regardless of their race, color, ethnicity, religion, sex (including pregnancy), sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, marital status, national origin, ancestry, genetic factors, age, disability, protected veteran status, military or uniformed service member status, or any other status or characteristic protected by applicable laws, regulations, and ordinances.
