What's different about Enwave?

We DO THINGS DIFFERENTLY — constantly leveraging the local environment to deploy bold ideas and cutting-edge energy innovations. Backed by committed capital and a mission to scale with impact, we're changing how energy systems are built and run. We ACHIEVE BIG GOALS in a dynamic, rapidly evolving space where technical excellence, curiosity, and collaboration thrive. Here, you can BE A CATALYST FOR PROGRESS — helping decarbonize cities, reduce emissions, and shape the future of energy infrastructure. If you're ready to engineer solutions that matter, join us.

About the Role Are you the type of engineering professional who thrives at the intersection of systems, strategy, and stakeholder influence? Are you looking for a role where your expertise in controls and instrumentation is matched by your ability to communicate with clarity, lead cross-functionally, and earn trust as a subject matter expert? Then this may be the position for you.

As an Instrumentation & Control Engineer on Enwave's Operational Excellence team, you'll play a critical role in ensuring the reliability, integration, and advancement of our distributed energy systems. You'll work hands-on with a wide variety of instrumentation and control systems—commissioning new infrastructure, troubleshooting field devices, and optimizing live system performance across our plants and networks. Just as importantly, you'll operate as a bridge between technical operations and business outcomes—working shoulder-to-shoulder with plant operators, engineers, vendors, IT/OT teams, and customer stakeholders to diagnose issues, guide decision-making, and influence continuous improvement.

This role is as much about clear communication, systems thinking, and collaborative problem-solving as it is about technical skill. You'll need the confidence to speak with vendors like Siemens or Johnson Controls, the precision to analyze metering data before month-end, and the poise to guide integration plans with our Development, Innovation, and IT teams. At Enwave, deep expertise is just the starting point — your ability to translate that expertise into operational impact is what will set you apart.

What You'll Tackle

• Commissioning & Project Integration: Evaluate instrumentation designs and oversee commissioning of new control systems.
• Field Instrumentation & Troubleshooting: Lead calibration, integration, and onsite issue resolution for remote sensors, energy meters, and communication networks.
• Control System Monitoring: Manage and improve real-time SCADA systems (iFix, DCS, PLCs), and help transition legacy controls into a next-gen digital platform.
• Operational Analytics & Reporting: Leverage control system data to develop and maintain KPI dashboards, performance insights, and technical recommendations.
• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Influence outcomes through strong partnerships with Engineering, Operations, Development, IT/OT, vendors, and external stakeholders.

What You Bring

• 4-6 years of experience in controls or instrumentation engineering, ideally within HVAC, utilities, or energy systems.
• Degree in Controls, Electrical, Process, or Mechanical Engineering, or advanced Technician certification with hands-on PLC/HVAC controls expertise.
• Deep knowledge of SCADA/DCS systems (e.g., iFix, DeltaV, ALC, Siemens), industrial protocols (BACnet, Modbus, Profinet), and system integration.
• Strong analytical and troubleshooting ability, with a knack for turning complexity into clear, actionable insights.
• A clear communicator and relationship-builder who listens actively, speaks with purpose, and adapts messaging to your audience — from plant operators to executives.
• A proactive, organized, and service-minded professional who values being part of something bigger — and takes pride in powering a more sustainable future.
