About The Position

Responsible to the assigned supervisor for performing intermediate level engineering work activities and projects requiring the application of engineering knowledge in a safe, effective, efficient and economic accomplishment of assigned objectives. This role involves identifying issues with processes and tools, completing complex RPA and RTU configuration, expanding communication technology competency, supporting stakeholders with SCADA related issues, and completing alarm and basic I/O settings. The position requires implementing standards, assisting with SCADA compliance, and analyzing/recommending enhancements to business processes. It also involves coordinating work activities, performing routine engineering activities independently, and providing training and guidance to lower-level employees. The role requires resolving and initiating solutions to routine and/or moderately complex problems, identifying problems beyond the normal routine, and seeking out new ideas and approaches. Communication and interpersonal skills are important for coordinating work and leading aspects of team efforts.

Requirements
