In the role, you will keep automation projects moving by partnering with system integrators and manufacturers to ensure flawless operation, supporting data‑center startups, leading startup and acceptance testing for warehouse and manufacturing systems, and collaborating with automation engineers to test, troubleshoot, and validate on‑site solutions.
Communication is key; you will provide clear updates to customers and project teams, travel on rotation schedules such as 5 on‑2 off, 10 on‑4 off, or 14 on‑7 off, and work with a variety of large‑scale customers while receiving support from the ProAutomated team.
For those who’d rather be on the move than behind a desk, ProAutomated is opening its 2026 hiring pipeline for curious, adaptable problem‑solvers who love travel, hands‑on work, and being part of a team that actually knows your name. The role is ideal for people who can laugh through flight delays, figure things out on the fly, and enjoy solving complex problems.
The position requires a genuine love of travel, a working knowledge of electrical systems, programming, and communication networking, adaptability, grit, strong communication and problem‑solving skills, residence within 50 mi of a major airport, a personal vehicle within 45 days, U.S. work authorization, and a technical degree or equivalent 3+ years of related experience.
Physical demands include walking long distances across large facilities, climbing ladders or working at heights, lifting up to 50 lb, standing, kneeling, or reaching for extended periods, and working in varied environments such as construction sites, outdoors, and hot or cold conditions; reasonable accommodations are available.
The company offers a transparent four‑week paid training program designed to prepare technically skilled individuals for field work. Success in training requires a basic foundation in electrical systems, programming, and communication networking; candidates lacking this background may not be a fit at this time.
Working with ProAutomated means combining work and travel, experiencing new cities, tackling unique projects, and earning travel rewards while directly serving customers across North America. There is no traditional office; you’ll be away from home while on assignment.
Compensation starts at $60,000‑$75,000 depending on location, education, and experience, and includes per‑diem for meals, mileage reimbursement, utilization bonuses, weekend bonuses, and other incentives. The company emphasizes trust, teamwork, and personal recognition.
Career growth is supported through paid training, annual merit raises, and a guaranteed 5 % salary increase after six months, with opportunities to advance in multiple directions. ProAutomated aims to be your biggest cheerleader for growth, even if you eventually move on.
Benefits include health, dental, and life insurance, a matching 401(k), short‑ and long‑term disability options, paid vacation, and flexible time off after 18 months, demonstrating a commitment to employee wellbeing on and off the job.
