As part of the automation team, you’ll keep 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. You’ll partner with automation and controls engineers to test, troubleshoot, and validate systems, while providing clear communication and updates to customers and project teams. Rotating travel schedules such as 5‑on‑2‑off, 10‑on‑4‑off, or 14‑on‑7‑off mean each project brings new challenges and locations.
