You’ll be part of the team that keeps automation projects moving. At ProAutomated, we partner with system integrators and manufacturers to ensure everything works flawlessly when it matters most. You’ll support data center startups with on-site mechanical, electrical, and control checks, and lead startup, checkout, and acceptance testing for warehouse fulfillment and manufacturing systems in industries such as food and beverage.
You’ll collaborate with automation and controls engineers to test, troubleshoot, and validate their systems on-site, providing clear communication and updates to customers and project teams. Typical travel rotations follow a days-on/off schedule (e.g., 5 on‑2 off, 10 on‑4 off, or 14 on‑7 off), bringing new challenges and locations each project. You’ll work with various customers, gaining invaluable real-world experience while the ProAutomated team supports you.
For those who’d rather be on the move than behind a desk. We’re opening our 2026 hiring pipeline now for curious, adaptable problem-solvers who love travel, hands-on work, and being part of a team that actually knows your name. If you’re the kind of person who can laugh through flight delays, figure things out on the fly, and find satisfaction in solving complex problems, this might be your perfect fit.
We believe in transparency. Our four-week paid training is designed to prepare technically skilled individuals for the field. Success in training requires a basic foundation in electrical systems, programming, and communication networking. If you’re new to these areas, this role may not yet be the right fit.
A genuine love of travel is essential, as you’ll be away from home on rotation and we’ll handle the logistics. Preferred experience includes a working knowledge of electrical systems, programming, and communication networking, along with adaptability and grit to thrive when plans change. Strong communication and problem-solving skills are required, as well as residence within 50 mi of a major airport (relocation assistance available) and a personal vehicle within 45 days of employment. You must be authorized to work in the U.S. and have a technical degree or equivalent hands-on experience (3+ years) in electrical, mechanical, or automation engineering.
Physical Requirements. The role requires the ability to walk long distances across large facilities or job sites, climb ladders, stairs, or work at heights, and lift, carry, and move up to 50 lb. You must be able to stand, kneel, or reach for extended periods and work in varied environments such as construction sites, outdoors, or hot/cold conditions. Reasonable accommodations may be made to enable individuals with disabilities to perform these essential functions.
Work + Travel, Combined. You’ll experience new cities, tackle unique projects, and earn your own travel rewards while working directly with customers across North America. There is no office to report to, and you’ll be away from home while you’re working.
Fair Pay That Grows With You. Starting salary $60,000–$75,000, depending on location, education, and experience. You’ll also receive per diem for meals, mileage reimbursement, utilization bonuses, weekend bonuses and more. We don’t have endless budgets, but we do have endless trust, teamwork, and appreciation of knowing every person by name.
Room to Grow. We invest in your development through paid training, annual merit raises, and a 5% salary increase after six months. Learn, advance, and build a career that can take you in multiple directions. We will be your biggest cheerleaders of growth, even if you’re not with ProAutomated forever.
Real Benefits + Real Flexibility. Health, dental, and life insurance, a matching 401(k), short & long term disability options, paid vacation, and flexible time off after 18 months. We take care of you, on and off the job.
