Controls Engineer Staffing & Recruitment Services 

Controls engineers are in manufacturing, energy, and aerospace organizations today helping bridge the gap between physical processes and digital intelligence. Without these experts, many companies wouldn’t have electric grid controls, flight guidance systems, robotics and assembly line automation, delicate process control for pharmaceuticals, and system integration between legacy machinery and modern hardware.

Provato Staffing is here to help organizations like yours hire experienced controls engineers who can design and develop the systems for your projects, whether you’re in manufacturing, energy, aerospace and defense, chemical, or even pharmaceutical industry.

At Provato, our controls engineering recruiters maintain a strong talent pool of screened and vetted controls engineers with expertise in creating electrical schematics, robotics integration, writing code for PLCs, HMIs, and SCADA systems, troubleshooting equipment and systems, and ensuring regulatory compliance.

What Does a Controls Engineer Do?

Controls engineers develop and maintain the hardware and software systems used to automate industrial equipment and manufacturing processes. They work closely with operations, maintenance, and engineering teams to improve system performance and reduce downtime.

Depending on the industry and projects that they work on, Controls Engineers may have responsibilities such as:

PLC programming
Designing graphic interfaces for HMI and SCADA screens
Designing electrical schematics
Designing and configuring automation systems
Troubleshooting production equipment issues
Developing electrical schematics
Optimizing cycle times and fine-tuning control algorithms
