Job description
Controls Engineer
New Castle / Wilmington, Delaware
$95,000 - $125,000 + Bonus + Profit Share
+ PTO + 401k + Many more excellent perks
Are you a Controls Engineer ready to step into a role with clear progression to leadership and direct mentorship?
Do you want to join a business that will genuinely invest in you - funding certifications, courses, and further education to accelerate your career?
This is a long-standing, family-run manufacturer operating in a recession-proof industry. It's a stable, growing environment where people stay long-term, feel valued, and can make a real impact without layers of red tape.
You'll work closely with the Director of Engineering ahead of their retirement - giving you a rare opportunity to learn, develop, and position yourself for future leadership. The business is big on backing their people, offering full support for training, certifications, and ongoing development.
In this role, you'll split your time between hands-on work on the plant floor and office-based engineering. You'll be working across PLCs, HMIs, and DCS systems, supporting operations, improving controls, and coordinating projects.
If you're looking for real progression, proper investment in your growth, and a role where you can genuinely shape your future - this is one not to miss.
The Role:
- Troubleshooting and improving PLC, HMI, and DCS systems on-site
- Supporting engineering projects and plant upgrades
- Split between plant floor and office (P&IDs, AutoCAD Electrical, budgeting)
- Coordinating contractors, vendors, and internal teams
The Person:
- Experience with PLCs, HMIs, and DCS
- Background in manufacturing or process environments
- Ambitious and looking for progression into senior/leadership roles
- S. Citizen or Green Card holder
