Our client is looking for a Sr. Controls Engineer to join their team in their Greer, SC office. This is a contract to hire role that is 100% in the office. The engineers work in a variety of environments and locations. The role requires strong technical knowledge, sound experience and people-skills, to effectively solve issues as they arise. This person needs to be a strong controls hardware designer who can design control panels completely from scratch. You will also need to be able to do load calculations for heat, power, and transfer loads for transformers. (Someone who has only done red lines or mark-ups (drafting type of work) definitely will not be a fit.) Someone who also has a little bit of PLC programming experience would be a huge plus. Ideally the client would like someone with multiple CAD platforms (AutoCAD Electrical, EPLAN, See-Electrical), but if you have only worked with one, it's okay as the client is willing to train.
