Project Engineer (SCADA/Software)

Description

The CLX Engineering Opportunity

If you like solving technical problems, working with hardware and systems, and seeing a project come to life in the field, this role may be a strong fit. Our Software Project Engineers work in the office and at customer sites to configure, install, test, troubleshoot, document, and support real-world industrial systems.

You will need to do more than review technical information. You must be able to analyze, review, and interpret specifications, schematics, CAD drawings, reports, and system results, then use that information to make sound project decisions and complete the work accurately.

Why This Role Is Different

You will not spend every day behind a desk, and you will not be hired to write software code. You will help turn project requirements into working systems. The best fit is someone who enjoys learning, communicating, installing, testing, troubleshooting, and taking ownership from the office through the field.

Ready to Apply?

Tell us about the work experience, hands-on projects, internships, technical work, installations, troubleshooting, or customer support experience that prepared you for this role. We are interested in what you have actually worked on, how you approached it, and how you communicated the results.

What You Will Do

• Configure, install, integrate, test, troubleshoot, maintain, and support project systems.
• Work hands-on with servers, switches, workstations, monitors, networking components, and related hardware.
• Analyze, review, and interpret project requirements, schematics, CAD drawings, blueprints, technical reports, and other project documentation.
