About the role

Ash Grove Cement Company is seeking a Sr. Automation Engineer to manage plant computer networks, control systems, and instrumentation. You will provide technical support across operations and supervise electricians and wage staff within Automation Engineering, coordinating with corporate IT on site. The role requires strong electrical/automation knowledge, hands-on problem solving, and the ability to work after hours when needed to keep plant systems running safely and efficiently.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
