About The Position

The Industrial Controls & Field Implementation Specialist is a hands-on technical role responsible for accelerating the deployment of industrial systems across ACM operations in Western Canada. This role bridges field instrumentation, controls, PLC-related systems, vendor technologies, and internal IoTA solutions to convert operational needs into practical, scalable implementations. The position works closely with site operations, maintenance teams, vendors, and the Tech Lead – IoT Systems to support discovery, design, commissioning, troubleshooting, and standardization of industrial technologies. Success in this role means delivering reliable site implementations, improving visibility into operations, and building repeatable technical approaches that can scale across RMX, Aggregates, Asphalt, Pipe, and other ACM businesses.

Requirements

Bachelors Degree or Diploma.
2–10 years of relevant experience in industrial instrumentation, controls, automation, field implementation, commissioning, or industrial systems support.
Experience in aggregates, ready-mix, asphalt, manufacturing, process plants, terminals, or similar heavy industrial environments is strongly preferred.
Valid driver’s license and ability to travel to operating sites.
Safety training applicable to industrial sites.
Strong knowledge of instrumentation and controls systems; working knowledge of PLCs, HMIs, panels, relays, VFDs, motor controls, field I/O, and industrial sensors; ability to read P&IDs, loop drawings, control schematics, and panel drawings; familiarity with industrial communications such as Modbus TCP/RTU and Ethernet/IP; understanding of telemetry, SCADA/HMI, gateways, edge devices, and industrial networking basics; proficiency with Microsoft Office.
Hands-on and field-oriented; able to work effectively with operators, maintenance teams, vendors, and technical stakeholders; strong troubleshooting and commissioning mindset; able to document and standardize repeatable solutions; willing to learn new technologies and business processes; organized, practical, and action-oriented; capable of working safely in active industrial environments.
Successful candidates must adhere to all safety protocols and proper use of Holcim approved Personal Protection Equipment ("PPE"), including but not limited to respirators. Employees that are required to wear respirators must be clean shaven where the respirator seal meets the face in order to pass the qualitative and quantitative fit tests.

Nice To Haves

Journeyperson Instrumentation Technician, Industrial Electrician, CET/AScT designation, or related automation/controls training.
Instrumentation, Electrical, Automation, Mechatronics, Controls, Industrial Systems, Engineering Technology, or related technical disciplines.
PLC/platform-specific vendor training (for example Rockwell, Siemens, Schneider, Emerson/Rosemount) is an asset.
Experience with cloud-connected industrial data solutions, ThingsBoard, IoT gateways, scripting/configuration, or basic data integration is an asset.

Responsibilities

Lead field implementation of instrumentation, controls, and industrial system solutions that improve operational visibility, reliability, and decision-making across ACM sites.
Support PLC- and equipment-adjacent integration work by translating field requirements into practical field execution plans, commissioning activities, and data connectivity solutions.
Partner with the Tech Lead – IoT Systems to connect sensors, gateways, controls, and vendor platforms into IoTA and related internal applications.
Identify, scope, and execute opportunities to modernize legacy manual or vendor-dependent processes using repeatable industrial technology solutions.
Work directly with site teams, maintenance personnel, and vendors to troubleshoot field issues, validate installations, and improve implementation quality.
Develop site-ready standards, documentation, and deployment approaches for instrumentation, controls, telemetry, and industrial systems implementations.
Contribute practical operational knowledge across multiple businesses including RMX, Aggregates, Asphalt, Pipe, and other ACM operating environments.
Strengthen ACM’s internal capability to assess, challenge, and implement vendor solutions with less reliance on external integrators.
Support cross-functional project execution by coordinating technical details, site readiness, vendor scope, and implementation follow-through.
Demonstrate a commitment to communicating, improving and adhering to health, safety and environmental policies in all work environments and areas. Promote a culture of safety and exhibit these behaviors.
