Senior Controls Engineer

The proper candidate will lead our controls division to the next level

We are a fast-growing company based in Griffin, GA that offers its employees competitive compensation

with benefits, a tremendous team of people with which to work, and the advantage of doing something

new every day.

Do you envision yourself leading a company into a new arena of business? Does the idea of bringing a

new skillset to a company and being the sole expert in your field intrigue you? If so, this position is

exactly what you are seeking - come join our team

Company: Goforth Williamson, Inc. (GWI) is one of the leading municipal pump service and sales

companies in the state of Georgia. GWI boasts the largest repair facility in the state for municipal water

and wastewater pumps and is a sales rep for the largest pump manufacturer in the world. At GWI, we

value our employees, and we recognize it is our people that make GWI successful. We strive to support

our staff as they grow and develop both personally and professionally.

Position: We are seeking an experienced individual to fill the role of Senior Electrical Controls Engineer.

This position reports directly to the Vice President of Controls. The controls division is relatively new at

GWI and is rapidly growing, so this is an opportunity to become part of the foundation of a successful

organization as it continues to expand. We are looking for someone to be intrinsically self-motivated, a

strong team player, a resourceful thinker, and hungry to help make GWI the authority on pump station

controls in the southeast. Although this position reports to our office in Griffin, GA, this position will be

authorized to work remotely from home with only having to commute to the office a few times per

month. Therefore, candidates residing anywhere in the greater Atlanta area will be considered. Office

space in Griffin, a company laptop, and all job-related equipment will be provided.

Expectations: The successful candidate will have experience designing control systems from the ground

up. These systems would include control panels, PLCs, HMIs, VFDs, and potentially many other types

of industrial automation equipment. Experience with industrial communication protocols (Ethernet/IP,

Modbus/TCP, ProfiNet, etc.) and networking devices is expected, and knowledge of UL 508A is ideal.

Candidates with experience as a systems integrator or panel designer are ideal. Proficiency with

AutoCAD Electrical (not just standard AutoCAD) is highly preferred. Candidates who have only used

PLCs as a troubleshooting tool will not be considered. A proven track record of system design all the

way through the project lifecycle is expected.

Qualifications:

  • Although a minimum 8 years working experience in controls/automation engineering is
  • preferred, candidates with less experience who have a proven track record of the required skills coupled with the right attitude and technical aptitude will be considered.
  • A 4-year degree in electrical engineering or electrical engineering technology is preferred, but appropriate working experience may be accepted in lieu of a degree.
  • Extensive experience designing control panels as a controls engineer/systems integrator is a must.
  • Ability to design/create an electrical drawing package using AutoCAD Electrical.
  • PLC programming using Allen Bradley RSLogix in addition to any other PLC software.
  • Experience with HMI graphics. SCADA design is a plus.
  • Experience programming VFDs and soft starts.
  • Experience with industrial networking and interfacing with a multitude of automation products.
  • Experience with creating and reviewing submittal documentation.
  • Experience with reading bid job specifications and designing control panels per specs.
  • Experience with UL 508A and 698A requirements.
  • Adequate phone and interpersonal communication skills are critical.

Duties of the position include but are not limited to:

  • Managing and taking ownership of projects in which you are assigned, including full design, documentation, support, testing, startup, etc.
  • Designing control panels using AutoCAD Electrical, including wiring schematics, panel layouts, field wiring charts, etc.
  • Programming PLCs and designing HMI graphics.
  • Testing panels after they are built for proper and expected operation.
  • Engineering control panel retrofits and red-lining or creating retrofit drawings. This can include, but is not limited to, the following situations:

- Replacing old pump station controllers

- Installing new power monitoring equipment, new pump motor protection equipment, or new telemetry equipment.

- Upgrading direct-on-line starters to soft starts or variable frequency drives.

  • Quoting new control panels and/or retrofit jobs (parts and labor).
  • Providing controls-related technical support or troubleshooting assistance over the phone to customers, salespeople, or our own field service personnel.
  • Creating and reviewing submittals of control systems to ensure they are accurate and complete.
  • Providing assistance with programming/commissioning variable frequency drives, soft starts, pump station controllers, or potentially any other type of automation equipment.
  • Teaching younger engineers the skills you have developed to help them grow and succeed.
  • This position may require 10% travel for manufacturer training or customer site visits.

Proper training will be provided to set the foundation to be successful in this role, but ideal candidates

should already have a solid working knowledge of the above qualifications and duties.

Only applicants legally authorized to work permanently in the Unites States without sponsorship will be

considered. Applicants must be able to pass a drug screen and criminal background check.

Pay will be based on qualifications and experience.
