Full Job Description

Lead Electrical Controls Engineer

OPEN TO REMOTE IF LOCATED WITHIN THE STATE OF IOWA

Join a well-established, forward-thinking automation integrator with decades of success delivering cutting-edge control systems across municipal water, wastewater, and industrial infrastructure. This is an opportunity to step into a high-impact leadership role where you will drive technical execution, mentor engineering teams, and lead critical automation projects that communities rely on every day.

Why This Role Stands Out

Leadership & Ownership – Lead multidisciplinary controls projects from concept through commissioning
Technical Influence – Guide automation standards, system architecture, and best practices
Modern Technology Stack – Work across leading PLC/HMI platforms and advanced communications systems
Highly Visible Work – Your solutions directly support essential infrastructure and public utilities
Company Vehicle + Personal Use – Take home a fully provided vehicle you can use outside of work
Strong Stability – Backed by decades of industry success and consistent project flow

What You’ll Do

Lead the design and development of PLC and HMI applications for complex SCADA systems
Oversee control system commissioning, including instrumentation, drives, and motor controls
Provide technical leadership and mentorship to controls engineers and field personnel
Manage project execution, schedules, technical deliverables, and client coordination
Implement and troubleshoot industrial communication networks including fiber, radio telemetry, and broadband systems
Serve as the primary technical advisor to clients throughout project lifecycle and ongoing support
Support proposal development, system architecture decisions, and process improvements

What We’re Looking For

Strong PLC programming background (Allen-Bradley, Siemens, Modicon, GE, or similar)
Experience with HMI/SCADA platforms (FactoryTalk, Wonderware, Cimplicity, Ignition, etc.)
Proven ability to lead controls projects and coordinate technical teams
Strong troubleshooting and commissioning experience within industrial environments
Ability to manage multiple projects while maintaining high attention to detail
Strong communication skills with clients, engineering teams, and end users
Degree in Electrical Engineering, Automation, or related field preferred

Travel

Approximately 25% overnight travel within the Midwest

Compensation & Benefits

Competitive salary based on experience
Company vehicle (available for personal use)
Comprehensive health, dental, and vision coverage
401(k) with company contribution
Paid time off and holidays
Life insurance
