Job Title: Controls Engineering Manager

Job Description

The Controls Engineering Manager leads the controls engineering function, providing people management and technical leadership across multiple concurrent automation projects. This role focuses on developing engineers, ensuring high-quality controls design, and standardizing processes rather than performing day-to-day hands-on programming. The manager reviews technical outputs, balances competing design approaches, and supports long-term organizational health while project managers handle daily project execution.

Responsibilities

Lead and develop the controls engineering team of approximately six engineers, with potential growth and inclusion of co-op students.
Conduct regular one-on-one meetings, performance reviews, and employee development discussions to support career growth and engagement.
Ensure engineers are aligned with longer-term development goals and broader organizational objectives.
Review and validate technical outputs from the controls team, including PLC logic, controls software, electrical schematics, and technical documentation.
Make sound technical judgments when engineers propose different design approaches, selecting solutions that balance safety, quality, and efficiency.
Improve engineering quality and consistency across the controls organization through continuous improvement initiatives.
Establish, standardize, and refine controls engineering processes and practices to drive repeatable, high-quality project outcomes.
Collaborate closely with project managers and other stakeholder groups to support technical quality across approximately six to seven concurrent projects.
Provide technical leadership and guidance across multiple projects without acting as the day-to-day project manager.
Support the design and review of safety systems and design-for-safety approaches, ensuring appropriate machine safety and risk management.
Contribute to quality control and quality assurance activities related to controls and automation deliverables.
Assist with troubleshooting and problem-solving of controls, electrical, and software-related issues as needed.
Help shape the longer-term structure, capabilities, and standards of the controls engineering organization.

Essential Skills

Proven people management experience, including at least 6+ years in technical roles with a minimum of 2+ years in a managerial capacity.
Strong experience in PLC-based automation systems, ideally with significant experience in Allen-Bradley platforms.
Ability to review and assess ladder logic, controls software, and PLC programming for technical quality and safety.
Experience with safety systems and design-for-safety principles in industrial automation environments.
Experience with SCADA systems and related industrial automation software.
Experience contributing to or overseeing quality control and quality assurance related to controls engineering and automation.

Additional Assets

Experience with AVEVA InTouch (AVEVA / Wonderware) SCADA software is a strong nice-to-have.
Experience working in highly regulated environments, such as medical device or similar industries, is beneficial but not mandatory.
Strong combination of electrical/electronics and software experience, enabling effective review across disciplines.
Previous experience improving engineering processes within an automation environment, including standardization and best-practice development.
Exposure to site safety practices and risk assessment within industrial or automation projects.
Experience collaborating with project managers and cross-functional teams on complex automation projects.
