Field Service Engineer - Automation Industry

ProAutomated Inc. • Atlanta, GA

1d • $60,000 - $75,000 • Onsite

About The Position

For those who’d rather be on the move than behind a desk.
We’re opening our 2026 hiring pipeline now for curious, adaptable problem-solvers who love travel, hands-on work, and being part of a team that actually knows your name.
If you’re the kind of person who can laugh through flight delays, figure things out on the fly, and find satisfaction in solving complex problems, this might be your perfect fit.
We believe in transparency. Our four-week paid training is designed to prepare technically skilled individuals for the field. Success in training requires a basic foundation in electrical systems, programming, and communication networking. If you’re new to these areas, this role may not yet be the right fit.
You’ll experience new cities, tackle unique projects, and earn all your own travel rewards while working directly with customers across North America. There is no office to report to, and you’ll be away from home while you’re working.
You’ll be part of the team that keeps automation projects moving. At ProAutomated, we don’t install systems, we partner with system integrators and manufacturers to ensure everything works flawlessly when it matters most.
