What is the difference between Engineer Controls Engineer vs Electrical Engineer?

AspectControls EngineerElectrical Engineer
CredentialsBachelor's in Electrical, Mechanical, or Controls Engineering; certifications like Certified Control Systems Technician (CCST)Bachelor's in Electrical Engineering; Professional Engineer (PE) license often preferred
Work EnvironmentIndustrial settings, manufacturing plants, automation facilitiesPower plants, electronics, telecommunications, industrial facilities
Industry UsageAutomation, manufacturing, process controlPower systems, electronics, telecommunications

Controls Engineers focus on designing, developing, and maintaining control systems for automation and manufacturing processes, while Electrical Engineers work on electrical systems, power distribution, and electronic devices. Both roles require similar credentials and often overlap in industrial environments, but their primary responsibilities and areas of expertise differ.

How much do controls engineers get paid?

Controls engineers typically earn a median annual salary between $70,000 and $100,000, depending on experience, location, and industry. Entry-level positions may start around $60,000, while experienced professionals with specialized skills or certifications can earn over $110,000. Salaries can also vary based on the complexity of control systems and the use of programming tools like PLCs and SCADA systems.

What does a controls engineer do?

A controls engineer designs, develops, and maintains control systems used to operate machinery and processes in manufacturing, automation, and industrial settings. They work with programmable logic controllers (PLCs), sensors, and software to ensure systems function efficiently and safely, often requiring knowledge of electrical, mechanical, and software engineering. Controls engineers also troubleshoot issues, optimize system performance, and may hold certifications in automation or control systems.

Key Responsibilities include:
  • EPC Execution: Lead electrical engineering execution for EPC projects involving industrial power distribution, power generation, and related facility infrastructure.
  • Design & Quality Control: Direct and review electrical design deliverables, analyses, and construction packages to ensure technical quality, constructability, and regulatory compliance.
  • Multidisciplinary Coordination: Coordinate electrical, instrumentation, and controls (EIC) scope across engineering, procurement, construction, commissioning, and startup activities.
  • Stakeholder Management: Work closely with project managers, customers, vendors, and internal teams to manage scope, priorities, schedules, and technical interfaces.
  • Power System Studies: Lead or oversee power system studies and key electrical deliverables (single-line diagrams, equipment layouts, grounding, lighting, cable documentation).
