Field Service Engineer - Automation Industry

About the Team

We are ProAutomated, a people-first company where teamwork, adaptability, and humor are part of the job. We don't just install systems; we partner with system integrators and manufacturers to ensure automation projects work flawlessly when it matters most. Our leaders have all grown into their positions from the field, so your manager has done exactly what they are asking you to do. We hold each other to high standards, accept that none of us are perfect, and push for excellence together.

About the Role

This role is for those who'd rather be on the move than behind a desk. You will be part of the team that keeps automation projects moving across North America, experiencing new cities and tackling unique projects while earning your own travel rewards. There is no office to report to; you will be away from home while working, supporting data center startups, warehouse fulfillment, and manufacturing systems in industries like food and beverage.

Your day will involve performing on-site mechanical, electrical, and control checks, leading startup and acceptance testing, and partnering with engineers to troubleshoot and validate systems. You will provide clear communication to customers and project teams to keep progress smooth. Typical travel rotations follow a schedule of 5 on/2 off, 10 on/4 off, or 14 on/7 off, ensuring every project brings new challenges and new locations.

Why Join Us

We believe in transparency and invest in your development through a four-week paid training program designed to prepare technically skilled individuals for the field. We offer fair pay that grows with you, including starting salaries, per diems, mileage reimbursement, and utilization bonuses. We also provide health, dental, and life insurance, a matching 401(k), and paid vacation. Whether you stay with us forever or move on, we will be your biggest cheerleaders of growth.
