Associate Instrumentation / Controls Engineer (Entry-Level)

 

About Us
Recognized as one of the Best Places to Work in Baton Rouge, J H Operating Company, LLC is an Engineering, Procurement, and Construction Management (EPCm) firm supporting upstream and midstream oil and gas projects across the U.S. We’re looking for a new graduate or early-career engineer to join our Baton Rouge team as an Associate Instrumentation / Controls Engineer.

  • Gain exposure to instrument specifications and participate in the purchasing process.
  • Help review and develop control narratives under senior mentorship.
  • Learn to read and support the design of automation drawings.
  • Assist with PLC and UPS specification and purchasing.
  • Auditing point-to-point connections between SCADA management system and field discrete instruments to ensure system functionality.

Company Description

J H Operating Company offers engineers, designers, and project professionals the opportunity to work on real oil and gas facility projects with direct impact. JH operates as an owner-focused EPCm firm, meaning teams are involved early, make practical decisions, and see projects through from concept to construction and commissioning.
Employees at JH work in small, highly capable teams where individual contributions matter. The company emphasises technical competence, accountability, and transparency, giving team members visibility into how projects are planned, executed, and delivered.
JH supports professional growth by exposing employees to multiple disciplines, project phases, and client interactions. The organization values efficiency, problem-solving, and ownership, creating an environment where people who want responsibility and hands-on experience can grow quickly.
