About The Position

This is not a maintenance job. As a Controls & Instrumentation Technician at Prime Controls, you will be embedded in complex systems integration projects from the ground up — troubleshooting, commissioning, programming, and solving problems that actually matter. You will work alongside engineers on large-scale industrial automation systems, travel to customer sites, and build the kind of hands-on experience that accelerates a career. If you want to do real work on real systems with a team that takes quality seriously, this is the role.

Requirements

4 Years experience in Controls & Instrumentation
Technical knowledge of the operation of AC and DC drives.
A thorough understanding of speed feedback devices theory and operation.
An understanding of temperature control and temperature components.
A good understanding of PID and control loops.
A good understanding of Ethernet communications and connections.
Proficient in PLC and HMI systems, including communications drivers and connections, PLC program navigation and controlled manipulation.
A thorough understanding of all electrical components and electronic devices.
Show an understanding and demonstrate the processes involved in diagnosing defective components, motors, drives and electronic components.
Able to demonstrate the ability to use diagnostic equipment.

Responsibilities

Troubleshoot, calibrate, install, test, and commission instrumentation and automation systems on large industrial processes.
Diagnose and repair instrumentation — from I/O operation and calibration to defective drives, motors, and electronic components.
Set up new instrumentation using schematics and drawings, calibrating to spec from day one.
Work directly with engineers to test and commission PLC systems, troubleshoot logic issues, and validate installed equipment during start-up.
Program and navigate PLCs and HMIs, including communications drivers, connections, and controlled logic manipulation.
Identify and source parts and components for PLC, network, computer, and software systems on integration projects.
Develop and assemble project documentation and user manuals throughout the development process.
Travel to customer sites to provide on-site controls and instrumentation services as needed.
