Job description

Hazen and Sawyer is seeking an experienced Senior Ovation DCS Programmer / Control Systems Engineer to support the design, implementation, commissioning, and long-term support of Emerson Ovation Distributed Control Systems for water and wastewater treatment facilities. This role is a senior technical position responsible for hands-on system programming, configuration, troubleshooting, and optimization, with direct involvement in plant operations, startup, and lifecycle support. The successful candidate will serve as a technical lead, supporting project delivery while mentoring junior staff and collaborating closely with operations, engineering, and project management teams.

This position can be based at any Hazen location; however, our preference is for it to be based in Virginia or the Washington, D.C. area.

Why Hazen and Sawyer:

  • Founded in 1951 by the son of Allen Hazen (developer of the Hazen-Williams equation), we are an employee-owned company with a singular focus on "all things water."
  • Our work includes planning, design, and oversight of construction of environmental infrastructure – for water, wastewater, and stormwater management.
  • We foster a work environment low on bureaucracy and high in creativity.
  • We recruit talented professionals, provide them with challenging, interesting, and creative assignments, and furnish them with the tools they need to succeed.
  • We currently have over 2,400 employees in 70+ offices throughout the United States, Latin America, Canada, and the UK.
  • A flexible hybrid work schedule supports today's busy professionals. 

Key Responsibilities:

Ovation DCS Engineering & Programming 

  • Configure, program, test, and commission Emerson Ovation DCS systems. 
  • Develop and maintain control logic, operator graphics, alarm configurations, and system databases. 
  • Perform system upgrades, migrations, and expansions on legacy and current Ovation platforms. 
  • Support control optimization, tuning, and modernization initiatives. 

Water & Wastewater Process Integration 

  • Implement and support control strategies for treatment and conveyance processes including pumping, filtration, chemical feed, disinfection, sludge handling, and distribution systems. 
  • Troubleshoot process and control system issues and implement corrective actions.

Testing, Commissioning & Support 

  • Lead and support FAT, SAT, and on-site commissioning activities.
  • Provide operational troubleshooting and post-startup support. 
  • Develop and maintain system documentation, including control narratives, I/O lists, and architecture diagrams. 
  • Support changing management and configuration control procedures. 

Cybersecurity & Compliance

  • Implement OT cybersecurity best practices consistent with ISA/IEC 62443 and utility standards. 
  • Support redundancy, backup, disaster recovery, and system resiliency planning. 

Technical Leadership & Mentorship 

  • Serve as a technical lead on Ovation-related projects. 
  • Mentor junior engineers and programmers. 
  • Coordinate with operations staff, project managers, vendors, and system integrators.

Work Setting:

  • Hybrid Preferred (3 days in office; 2 days remote) 

Required Qualifications:

  • Bachelor’s degree in engineering, Automation, Computer Science, or a related technical field, or equivalent experience. 
  • 10+ years of experience in control systems or automation. 
  • Demonstrated hands-on experience with Emerson Ovation DCS systems. 
  • Experience supporting water or wastewater treatment facilities strongly preferred. 
  • Experience with FAT, SAT, and field commissioning.
Preferred Qualifications:
