Job description

About Prime Controls

Prime Controls is a system integration firm that automates large-scale industrial processes. Our field technicians work across a range of industries — from water treatment to manufacturing — solving complex instrumentation and controls challenges on real customer sites. If you like variety, hands-on problem solving, and working with the latest PLC and HMI platforms, this role is for you.


What You’ll Do

  • Troubleshoot, calibrate, install, and commission instrumentation and automation systems at customer sites
  • Diagnose instrumentation functionality and I/O operation; repair using a variety of meters and calibration tools
  • Set up new instrumentation and calibrate to specifications using schematics and drawings
  • Perform preventive and corrective maintenance on test apparatus and peripheral equipment
  • Work alongside engineers to test and commission PLC systems, including program logic validation and start-up troubleshooting
  • Program PLCs and HMIs; identify parts and components for system integration projects
  • Develop and assemble project documentation and user manuals

What You’ll Bring

  • 4+ years of hands-on experience as an instrumentation or controls technician
  • Solid understanding of AC and DC drives and speed feedback devices
  • Working knowledge of temperature control components and PID/control loop theory
  • Proficiency with PLC and HMI systems, including program navigation, controlled manipulation, and communications drivers
  • Strong grasp of Ethernet communications and industrial network connections
  • Ability to diagnose defective components, motors, drives, and electronic devices using diagnostic equipment
  • Comfortable reading schematics, wiring diagrams, and technical drawings

Schedule & Compensation

  • $40–$45/hr based on experience ($104K–$117K annually at 50 hrs/week)
  • Consistent 50-hour work week — predictable income without depending on variable overtime
  • Travel to customer sites as required; mileage and expenses covered

Why Prime Controls

  • Work on diverse, complex projects — no two days look the same
  • Collaborative team of engineers and technicians who invest in each other
  • Exposure to a wide range of industrial sectors and equipment platforms
  • Travel to customer sites gives you hands-on experience you can’t get in a shop environment
  • Competitive compensation based on experience

What We Offer

Full-time employees enjoy a great benefits package including, but not limited to: 

  • Health, Dental, and Vision coverage 
  • Salary range: 40-46/hr
  • Flexible Spending Account(s) 
  • Generous PTO 
  • Numerous culture events 
  • ESOP
  • 401k matching and more! 

Physical requirements and work environment expectations vary by position. Generally, roles at Prime Controls may involve moderate noise, occasional exposure to outdoor weather conditions, and, depending on the role, work at heights or around airborne particles and electrical components. Physical activities may include standing, walking, sitting, climbing, balancing, stooping, kneeling, crouching, or crawling, as well as the use of hands, arms, and voice communication. Some roles may require lifting and/or moving up to 50 pounds. Vision requirements may include close vision, distance vision, and the ability to adjust focus. Reasonable accommodations may be made to enable individuals with disabilities to perform the essential functions of the job.

Prime Controls is an Equal Opportunity Employer/Affirmative Action/Veteran/Disabled employer.

As a federal contractor, Prime Controls is required to participate in the federal government’s E-Verify program, which confirms employment authorization of all newly hired employees and most existing employees through an electronic database maintained by the Social Security Administration and Department of Homeland Security. For new hires, the E-Verify process is completed in conjunction with the Form I-9 Employment Eligibility Verification on or before the first day of work. E-Verify is not used as a tool to pre-screen candidates.
