What are the responsibilities and job description for the Controls Project Engineer ajc position at Argus Technical Services?
Controls Project Engineer ajc
Responsible for the performance and profitability of the control system related technical aspects of assigned projects (i.e. - electrical, safety,
pneumatics, hydraulics, water, welding, lubrication, and programming). Perform and champion controls related engineering tasks (i.e. -
conceptualization, risk assessment, design, generation of schematics, component specification, safety evaluation, purchasing support, programming,
assembly support, de-bug, safety validation, and field commissioning). Systems may include programmable logic controllers (PLC), operator
interface terminals (OIT), safety controllers, robots, servos, distributed I / O, welders, AC / DC drives, vision systems, material handling, conveyors,
spraying, dispensing, industrial networks, instrumentation, pneumatics, hydraulics, and electro-mechanical control devices. Bench-test programs
and new technologies prior to equipment de-bug. Identify potential risk areas, long-lead items, and / or financial impacts early in the project in order
to provide proactive or alternative solutions. Provide leadership, guidance, assistance, and hands-on support to a team of internal and external
controls engineering resources related to the assigned projects. Coordinated efforts with vendors, suppliers, outside engineering firms, and contract
engineers as related to the assigned projects. Engage in progress review and planning meetings with the Controls Engineering Manager, Project
Manager, Mechanical Engineers, Assembly, and Service personal during the design, build, start-up, commissioning, warranty, and post mortem
periods of the project. Frequently monitor project status, hours, and milestones. Provide technical mentoring of new products, technologies and
practices to companies service and assembly staff. Employ in continuous improvement methodologies of controls designs and programming standards
within a team environment.
