Location: St George, SC 29477

Make an Impact Where Engineering Meets Innovation

We’re looking for a hands-on Application Engineer with deep expertise in Rockwell PLCs and Studio 5000 to support cutting-edge building automation and facility management systems. This is a high-visibility, on-site role where you’ll work directly with clients, lead commissioning efforts, and bring complex systems to life.

If you thrive in dynamic environments, enjoy solving real-world automation challenges, and want to contribute to large-scale campus projects—this role is for you.

What You’ll Do:

• Design and develop control programs for BMS (Building Management Systems) using function blocks, scripting, and graphical tools.
• Build and enhance Ignition SCADA (Inductive Automation) applications.
• Lead on-site commissioning, startup, and system validation.
• Troubleshoot PLCs, field devices, and control systems during checkout.
• Collaborate with clients, contractors, and internal teams to deliver successful implementations.
• Create intuitive graphical interfaces for end users.
• Develop simulation tools and execute test scripts for system validation.
• Perform QA/QC checks on PLC and SCADA code before delivery.
• Deliver training sessions and provide post-deployment support.

What You Bring:

Must-Have Skills:

• Strong expertise in Rockwell PLCs & Studio 5000.
• Experience developing/updating Ignition SCADA projects.
• Proven commissioning experience with client-facing responsibilities.
• Solid background in PLC programming & industrial automation.
• Knowledge of HVAC systems (highly / niche skill).

Nice to Have:

• OSHA 10 Certification ( due to electrical environment).

Your Background:

• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical, Electrical, or related Engineering field.
• 4+ years of experience in Industrial Controls / Automation.

Why This Role Stands Out:

• Work on large-scale, new facility builds for major campuses.
• Direct client interaction and high ownership of projects.
• End-to-end involvement: design → testing → commissioning.
• High-impact role in mission-critical BMS applications.
• Competitive hourly rate (up to $91.36/hr).

Work Environment & Requirements:

• Fully on-site role in Saint George (no travel required for this assignment).
• Standard schedule with flexibility during commissioning phases.
• Must pass a background check and drug screening prior to starting.

Who You Are:

You’re a proactive problem-solver who can work independently while collaborating effectively with teams and clients. You communicate clearly, adapt quickly, and take pride in delivering high-quality engineering solutions under tight timelines.
