<li>Configure or modify PLC logic, HMI screens, and SCADA interfaces as needed </li>
<li>Support preventive maintenance, corrective maintenance, repairs, installations, and system upgrades </li>
<li>Work with operations, maintenance, engineering, and contractors on process and control system improvements </li>
<li>Maintain technical documentation, drawings, maintenance records, and system configuration information </li>
<li>At the senior level, lead complex troubleshooting, support PLC/SCADA upgrades, assist with commissioning, and provide technical guidance to other team members </li>
</ul>
<p><strong>What We’re Looking For</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Hands-on experience with industrial controls, instrumentation, PLCs, HMIs, SCADA systems, and electrical troubleshooting </li>
<li>Experience in wastewater, water treatment, utilities, manufacturing, food/beverage, chemical processing, or another industrial process environment </li>
<li>Familiarity with Allen-Bradley controls platforms is strongly preferred </li>
<li>Ability to read electrical schematics, P&IDs, loop diagrams, panel drawings, and technical documentation </li>
<li>Strong troubleshooting skills with electrical, electronic, pneumatic, mechanical, and instrumentation systems </li>
<li>Ability to work safely in a plant environment and communicate well with operations, maintenance, engineering, and contractors </li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Background That Fits</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>High school diploma or equivalent required </li>
<li>Associate degree or technical training in instrumentation, electronics, automation, electrical technology, or a related field preferred </li>
<li>2+ years of relevant controls, instrumentation, electrical, or industrial maintenance experience required </li>
<li>4+ years of relevant experience preferred for senior-level consideration </li>
<li>Valid California driver’s license required </li>
<li>CWEA Electrical/Instrumentation certification or ISA Control Systems Technician certification is a plus, or the ability to obtain required certification after hire </li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Why This Role</strong></p>
