About The Position

The Lead Industrial Controls & Valve Automation Technician will execute new installations, retrofits, and repairs for pressure, temperature, and differential transmitters and related process instrumentation in the field and in the shop. This role involves calibrating level/pressure/temperature transmitters to exacting standards, triaging and resolving issues with process control assets like MOVs, field instruments, and final control devices. The technician will also conduct MOV diagnostics, capture field measurements, and engineer mounting hardware for actuator/valve interfaces, including designing brackets and couplings for electric, pneumatic, and hydraulic actuator applications. Building customer relationships, promoting service agreements, leading training, and solving problems collaboratively are key aspects of this position. This is a field-based role requiring significant travel across AZ, CA, HI, NV, with extended multi-week assignments at customer sites. The work setting can range from indoor plants to outdoor facilities with common noise and varying temperatures. Physical activities include confined space entry, working at heights, and routinely lifting/pushing/pulling/carrying up to 50 lbs. This is a safety-sensitive position.
