Job Description

About the Role

For those who’d rather be on the move than behind a desk, this role is designed for curious, adaptable problem-solvers who love travel, hands-on work, and being part of a team that actually knows your name. If you’re the kind of person who can laugh through flight delays, figure things out on the fly, and find satisfaction in solving complex problems, this might be your perfect fit.

At ProAutomated, we don’t install systems; we partner with system integrators and manufacturers to ensure everything works flawlessly when it matters most. You’ll be part of the team that keeps automation projects moving, supporting data center startups and leading startup, checkout, and acceptance testing for warehouse fulfillment and manufacturing systems. You’ll work with various customers, getting invaluable real-world experience with massive companies, while the ProAutomated team supports you.

Why You’ll Love Working With Us

Work + Travel, Combined You’ll experience new cities, tackle unique projects, and earn all your own travel rewards while working directly with customers across North America. There is no office to report to, and you’ll be away from home while you’re working.

Room to Grow We invest in your development through paid training, annual merit raises, and a 5% salary increase after six months. Learn, advance, and build a career that can take you in multiple directions. We will be your biggest cheerleaders of growth, even if you’re not with ProAutomated forever.

Real Benefits + Real Flexibility We take care of you, on and off the job, with health, dental, and life insurance, a matching 401(k), short & long term disability options, paid vacation, and flexible time off after 18 months.

A Team That Gives You Community We’re a smaller, people-first company where teamwork, adaptability, and humor are part of the job. All of our leaders have grown into their positions at ProAutomated, so your manager has done what they’re asking you to do. We hold each other to high standards, accept none of us are perfect, and push for excellence. You’ll be surrounded by people who have your back.
