About the role
- In this role, you will serve as a technical integrator and field-oriented engineer, ensuring automation and control systems are correctly specified, installed, commissioned, and operated within a safety-critical nuclear environment.
Responsibilities
- Last Energy is seeking a hands-on Instrumentation & Controls Engineer to support the integration, deployment, and lifecycle management of industrial instrumentation, electrical, and control systems.
- This position is ideal for an engineer who thrives at the boundary between design intent and real-world execution - working closely with vendors, fabricators, technicians, and operations to translate requirements into reliable, field-ready systems.
- Support vendor selection and review vendor deliverables for technical adequacy
- Review, validate, and support PLC logic and HMI designs developed by vendors or integrators.
- Support and oversee fabrication, installation, and wiring of control cabinets and field devices, working directly with electricians, technicians, and vendors
- Lead or support Site Acceptance Testing (SAT), Factory Acceptance Testing (FAT), loop checks, and startup activities.
- Maintain disciplined configuration control of hardware and software changes.
Nice to have
- Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechatronics, or a related technical field
- 3+ years of experience supporting industrial electrical, instrumentation, and control systems in a hands-on or field-facing role
- Practical experience working with PLC-based control systems (e.g., Siemens, Allen-Bradley), including reviewing logic, supporting testing, and troubleshooting deployed systems
- Strong understanding of industrial electronics, instrumentation, and low-voltage power distribution
- Demonstrated experience working directly with vendors, integrators, technicians, and installers in commissioning or operational environments
- Familiarity with industrial control system cybersecurity concepts and best practices (IEC 62443 knowledge is a plus)
- Experience in nuclear, oil & gas, chemical processing, or other highly regulated, safety-critical industries
- Working knowledge of industrial communication protocols such as Modbus, TCP/IP, Profinet, or Ethernet/IP
