Our client is on the hunt for a Senior Control Systems Lead in Grande Prairie, Alberta.

Looking for a significant career opportunity without the big-city grind? Join a top-tier global organization where you can lead meaningful, plant-wide automation initiatives while enjoying shorter commutes, more space and the outdoors right at your doorstep.

The Senior Control Systems Lead will act as a technical authority for the critical control systems supporting a large continuous-process operation. This is a senior position requiring someone who can combine deep controls knowledge with project leadership, lifecycle planning and the ability to coordinate operations, engineering teams, contractors and automation vendors.

Senior Control Systems Lead responsibilities:

Provide site-level technical leadership for DCS, PLC, SCADA, SIS and related instrumentation and automation systems
Lead control-system modernization, migration, replacement and lifecycle-management initiatives
Develop project scopes, technical requirements, control-system specifications, cost estimates and execution plans
Act as the owner’s representative on automation projects, ensuring solutions meet operational, safety, reliability and business requirements
Review and approve controls-related engineering designs, vendor submissions, project deliverables and system documentation
Coordinate engineering consultants, system integrators, automation vendors, contractors, operations and maintenance teams
Manage controls projects through design, procurement, configuration, testing, installation, commissioning and startup
Support FAT, SAT, loop checks, system integration, commissioning and operational handover
Provide senior-level troubleshooting support for complex control-system, instrumentation and integration issues
Participate in HAZOPs, Management of Change processes and process-safety initiatives
Manage project budgets, schedules, risks, changes and technical priorities
Develop long-term strategies for control-system reliability, obsolescence management and future capital requirements
Mentor engineering, technical and operational personnel in control-system practices and troubleshooting

The successful candidate has:

A degree or technical diploma in Electrical Engineering, Controls Engineering, Instrumentation, Automation Engineering Technology or a related discipline
Professional Engineer (P.Eng.), Certified Engineering Technologist (CET) or other relevant professional designation
At least 10 years of progressive industrial automation, instrumentation or control-systems experience
Extensive experience supporting control systems within a large continuous-process facility
Experience leading a major DCS modernization, migration, replacement or lifecycle program
Strong working knowledge of DCS, PLC, SCADA and SIS technologies
Experience with major control platforms such as Honeywell TDC3000 or Experion, ABB 800xA, Emerson DeltaV, Rockwell PlantPAx or comparable systems
Experience acting as a site controls lead, owner’s representative, automation project manager or Main Automation Contractor lead
A strong understanding of control-system design, instrumentation, system integration, process safety, commissioning and startup
Experience managing engineering consultants, EPC firms, automation vendors and system integrators
Strong project-management capabilities, including scope, budget, schedule, risk and change management
Experience in pulp and paper, refining, petrochemicals, chemicals or another complex continuous-process industry
Pulp and paper controls experience would be a significant asset
PMP certification would be considered an asset
Strong written and spoken English communication skills

Compensation and benefits:

Salary range from $135,000 to $150,000
Comprehensive benefits package
Pension plan
RRSP matching
Long-term career growth with a global organization, including potential opportunities across North America and internationally
