Description

You’ll be part of the team that keeps automation projects moving by supporting data‑center startups, performing on‑site mechanical, electrical, and control checks, and leading startup, checkout, and acceptance testing for warehouse fulfillment and manufacturing systems in industries such as food and beverage. You will partner with automation and controls engineers to test, troubleshoot, and validate their systems on‑site, and provide clear communication and updates to customers and project teams. Typical travel rotations follow a days‑on/days‑off schedule (5 on‑2 off, 10 on‑4 off, or 14 on‑7 off), and you will work with a variety of customers, gaining real‑world experience with large companies while the ProAutomated team supports you.

Requirements

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 can laugh through flight delays, figure things out on the fly, and enjoy solving complex problems, this role could be a perfect fit.

We believe in transparency. Our four‑week paid training is designed to prepare technically skilled individuals for the field, and success 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.

We are looking for candidates who love travel and can live away from home on rotation, have a working knowledge of electrical systems, programming, and communication networking, and thrive when plans change. Strong communication, problem‑solving skills, adaptability, and grit are essential, as is living within 50 mi of a major airport, having a personal vehicle available within 45 days, and being authorized to work in the U.S. A technical degree or equivalent hands‑on experience of at least three years in electrical, mechanical, or automation engineering is required.

Physical requirements include the ability to walk long distances across large facilities, climb ladders or work at heights, lift, carry, and move up to 50 lb, and stand, kneel, or reach for extended periods. Work may occur in varied environments such as construction sites, outdoors, and hot or cold conditions, with reasonable accommodations available for individuals with disabilities.

• Must reside within 50 mi of a major airport and have a personal vehicle available within 45 days.
• Required: working knowledge of electrical systems, programming, and networking; strong problem‑solving and communication skills.
• Technical degree or 3+ years hands‑on experience in electrical, mechanical, or automation engineering.
• Physical ability to walk long distances, climb ladders, and lift/move up to 50 lb.

Fair Pay That Grows With You. Starting salary ranges from $60,000 to $75,000 depending on location, education, and experience. You’ll also receive per‑diem for meals, mileage reimbursement, utilization bonuses, weekend bonuses, and more.

Room to Grow. We invest in your development through paid training, annual merit raises, and a 5 % salary increase after six months. We’ll support your learning and advancement, even if you eventually move on from ProAutomated.
