Join the power generation engineering team to design, commission, and maintain plant control systems. As a Controls Engineer, you will own BOP PLC/HMI and the control-room SCADA picture, integrating Solar, 6000, and BOP into one operating view. You will work from control philosophy through commissioning and ongoing reliability, hands‑on at the panel and in the control room, and the position is based in Memphis, TN with potential travel to other sites.
