About the role
Actalent is seeking a Controls Engineer to design, program, and commission automation systems for water, wastewater, and manufacturing environments. You will own projects from planning through field start-up, with hands-on troubleshooting and strong documentation. Ideal candidates have 3–5 years of automation experience, proficiency in Rockwell/Siemens platforms, and the ability to work in a small team. Travel up to 25% is required.
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.
