About The Position

The Process Controls Engineer II is responsible for delivering control logic for defined subsystems and supporting field integration activities. This role involves developing and testing PLC code (including ladder logic and function block programming), preparing control narratives, and assisting with factory and site acceptance testing (FAT/SAT). The engineer collaborates with commissioning teams to ensure logic performs as intended in the field. With 2–4 years of experience, this junior-level role plays a critical part in aligning Reliable Controls’ internal project execution standards with industry best practices. Works under general supervision where routine tasks are performed independently; non-routine tasks may require guidance. This role requires domestic and international travel to client sites and project locations.
