Site Service Controls Engineer

Location: Magnolia, TX
Compensation: $105-125K base, + OT & bonuses
Travel: Up to 30% (regional and project-based)

The Opportunity

We’re hiring a Site Service Controls Engineer to support and commission custom-engineered industrial automation and control systems used in complex, real-world manufacturing and processing environments.

This team designs, builds, installs, and supports bespoke control panels, PLC/HMI systems, and integrated automation solutions for industrial clients. These are not cookie-cutter systems. Each project is engineered for a specific application, process, and operating environment.

In this role, you’ll be hands-on from install through long-term support, working directly with customers, technicians, and internal engineering teams to ensure systems are built correctly, perform reliably, and evolve with customer needs.

What You’ll Do

You’ll split your time between field support, commissioning, troubleshooting, and system optimization.

Install, configure, and commission PLC- and HMI-based automation systems at customer sites

Support startup and validation of custom-built control panels and automation equipment

Diagnose and resolve complex electrical, controls, and communication issues in live production environments

Modify, optimize, and maintain PLC and HMI programs to improve performance, reliability, and usability

Support data collection, system monitoring, and basic analytics to improve process visibility

Interpret and apply electrical schematics, wiring diagrams, P&IDs, and system documentation

Design and modify control circuits and hardware layouts to improve system performance and serviceability

Implement system upgrades, retrofits, and technology improvements as customer needs evolve

Provide on-site and remote technical support to customers and internal teams

Train operators, maintenance teams, and junior engineers on system operation and troubleshooting

Document changes, lessons learned, and best practices for future projects

Technical Skills That Matter

Strong hands-on troubleshooting of industrial electrical and control systems

PLC and HMI programming experience (Rockwell / Allen-Bradley strongly preferred)

Ability to read, create, and modify electrical schematics and wiring diagrams

Experience using electrical test equipment (voltmeters, mA generators, loop calibrators, etc.)

Familiarity with AutoCAD, TIA Portal, and Rockwell software environments

What Makes You a Good Fit

You enjoy being hands-on and solving problems in the field

You’re comfortable working independently at customer sites

You communicate well with customers, technicians, and engineers

You like seeing projects through from install to stable operation

You’re adaptable and enjoy variety rather than repetitive work

Experience & Education

Associate’s or Bachelor’s degree in Electronics, Electrical Engineering, or related field
(or equivalent hands-on experience)

3-5+ years of experience in:

Controls systems installation and support

PLC programming and troubleshooting

Industrial automation environments

Benefits & Growth

Competitive medical and dental coverage

Paid time off and sick leave

Ongoing technical training and certification opportunities

Exposure to a wide variety of industries, systems, and automation challenges
