Controls Engineer

New Castle / Wilmington, Delaware

$95,000 - $125,000 + Bonus + Profit Share

+ PTO + 401k + Many more excellent perks

Are you a Controls Engineer ready to step into a role with clear progression to leadership and direct mentorship?

Do you want to join a business that will genuinely invest in you - funding certifications, courses and further education to advance your career?

This is a long-standing, family-run manufacturer operating in a recession-proof industry. It's a stable, growing environment where people stay long-term and really feel valued.

You'll work closely with the Director of Engineering ahead of their retirement - giving you a rare opportunity to learn, develop, and position yourself for future leadership. The business is big on backing their people, offering full support for training, certifications, and ongoing development.

In this role, you'll split your time between hands-on work on the plant floor and office-based engineering. You'll be working across PLCs & HMIs, supporting operations, improving controls, and coordinating projects.

If you're looking for real progression, proper investment in your growth and a role where you can genuinely shape your future - this is one not to be missed!

The Role:

  • Troubleshooting and improving PLC, HMI, and DCS systems on-site
  • Supporting engineering projects and plant upgrades
  • Split between plant floor and office (P&IDs, AutoCAD Electrical, budgeting)
  • Coordinating contractors, vendors and internal teams

The Person:

  • Experience with PLCs and HMIs
  • Background in manufacturing or process environments
  • Ambitious and looking for progression into senior/leadership roles
  • U.S. Citizen or Green Card holder
