As part of the automation team you’ll support data‑center startups, performing 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 partner with automation and controls engineers to test, troubleshoot, and validate their systems on‑site, while providing clear communication and updates to customers and project teams. Travel follows rotating schedules (e.g., 5 on‑2 off, 10 on‑4 off, or 14 on‑7 off), exposing you to new challenges and locations each project.
We’re opening our 2026 hiring pipeline for adaptable problem‑solvers who prefer travel and hands‑on work over a desk. The role suits people who can laugh through flight delays, think on their feet, and enjoy solving complex problems. A four‑week paid training program will prepare technically skilled individuals, assuming they already have a basic foundation in electrical systems, programming, and communication networking.
We are looking for candidates who love travel and are prepared to be away from home on rotation, with a working knowledge of electrical systems, programming, and communication networking. Strong adaptability, grit, communication, and problem‑solving skills are essential, as is living within 50 miles of a major airport and having a personal vehicle available within 45 days. Candidates must be authorized to work in the U.S. and hold a technical degree or at least three years of hands‑on experience in electrical, mechanical, or automation engineering.
The role requires physical capability to walk long distances across large facilities, climb ladders or work at heights, lift and carry up to 50 lb, and stand, kneel, or reach for extended periods. Work may occur in construction sites, outdoors, or in hot and cold environments, and reasonable accommodations are provided for individuals with disabilities.
