This is not a maintenance job. As a Controls & Instrumentation Technician at Prime Controls, you will be embedded in complex systems integration projects from the ground up — troubleshooting, commissioning, programming, and solving problems that actually matter. You will work alongside engineers on large-scale industrial automation systems, travel to customer sites, and build the kind of hands-on experience that accelerates a career. If you want to do real work on real systems with a team that takes quality seriously, this is the role.
What You'll Own
-
Troubleshoot, calibrate, install, test, and commission instrumentation and automation systems on large industrial processes.
-
Diagnose and repair instrumentation — from I/O operation and calibration to defective drives, motors, and electronic components.
-
Set up new instrumentation using schematics and drawings, calibrating to spec from day one.
-
Work directly with engineers to test and commission PLC systems, troubleshoot logic issues, and validate installed equipment during start-up.
-
Program and navigate PLCs and HMIs, including communications drivers, connections, and controlled logic manipulation.
-
Identify and source parts and components for PLC, network, computer, and software systems on integration projects.
-
Develop and assemble project documentation and user manuals throughout the development process.
-
Travel to customer sites to provide on-site controls and instrumentation services as needed.
