Accelevation•Miamisburg, OH

15h•$30 - $39•Onsite

About The Position

The Instrumentation and Controls Technician is an hourly, non-exempt individual contributor responsible for installing, wiring, calibrating, and verifying instrumentation on prefabricated process cooling skids used in data center and critical infrastructure applications. The position works onsite in a manufacturing environment alongside mechanical assemblers, pipefitters, electricians, and Engineering, ensuring accurate flow, pressure, and temperature measurement and control. The technician completes testing and documentation for factory acceptance testing (FAT), product quality, and successful field installation. The work takes place in an onsite fabrication and manufacturing environment. It involves frequent standing, walking, bending, kneeling, reaching, repetitive hand-tool use, and work in restricted-access areas of skid frames. The role may involve moving up to 50 pounds occasionally, using ladders or approved lifts when trained and authorized, and exposure to manufacturing noise, moving and energized equipment, and testing operations. PPE and compliance with company safety and electrical-work procedures are required. Overtime or flexible scheduling may be required to meet production deadlines, and occasional field travel may be needed for installation or commissioning support.

Requirements

Two or more years of hands-on industrial instrumentation, electrical/instrumentation (E&I), equipment packaging, or closely related experience; practical instrument installation and testing experience is required.
Working knowledge of differential-pressure, pressure, flow, and temperature measurement, including 2-, 3-, and 4-wire RTDs and thermocouples.
Ability to safely and accurately use multimeters, HART communicators, process and pressure calibrators, and temperature calibration tools.
Ability to read P&IDs, instrument loop sheets, wiring diagrams, and technical specifications and produce clear, accurate test records.
Familiarity with control valves, actuators, smart positioners, instrument grounding and shielding, and 4–20 mA signal loops.
Working knowledge of applicable National Electrical Code requirements and safe electrical work practices within the scope of assigned duties.
Strong attention to detail, organized wiring and terminations, troubleshooting ability, and commitment to production safety and quality.
High school diploma or GED.

Nice To Haves

Experience with process-cooling skids, OEM equipment packages, HVAC/chilled water systems, or data center cooling.
Experience with PLC/BMS integration, Modbus or BACnet, or UL 508A.
Associate degree or technical certificate in instrumentation, industrial electronics, electrical technology, or a related discipline.
ISA Certified Control Systems Technician (CCST), NCCER Instrumentation, OSHA 10/30, or NFPA 70E training.

Responsibilities

Install and mount pressure, differential-pressure, and temperature transmitters; RTDs; thermowells; temperature elements; flow meters; control valves; actuators; and positioners on prefabricated cooling skids according to approved drawings and manufacturer instructions.
Route, secure, label, and terminate instrumentation wiring in conduit, cable tray, and flexible raceway, applying appropriate shielding, grounding, cable identification, and termination practices.
Assemble and wire junction boxes, terminal blocks, DIN rail, wire duct, cable glands, and seals to meet enclosure and workmanship requirements.
Calibrate and verify field instruments using approved tools and traceable calibration standards, and document as-found and as-left results.
Perform point-to-point continuity checks, applicable insulation-resistance tests, and 4–20 mA loop verification using equipment-appropriate methods.
Set up and stroke control valves; verify travel, fail position, feedback, and instrument response against design specifications.
Interpret P&IDs, loop drawings, wiring diagrams, instrument data sheets, and work instructions; complete calibration records, loop-check sheets, production travelers, and as-built redlines.
Assist Engineering, Quality, and customers with factory acceptance testing; troubleshoot failures, resolve punch-list items, and correct nonconformances before shipment.
Coordinate with mechanical and electrical production teams to maintain safe, high-quality builds and meet manufacturing schedules.
Identify recurring installation, testing, or wiring issues and recommend process, tooling, documentation, and 5S improvements to reduce defects and rework.
Follow applicable lockout/tagout, electrical safe-work practices, OSHA requirements, and company procedures; apply NFPA 70E practices as appropriate to assigned work and authorization.
