Additional Information

The University of Notre Dame Power Plant is looking for a DeltaV Controls Technician who views the system as more than just a set of wires and screens. While this role involves the vital maintenance and calibration of our instrumentation, we are looking for someone who specifically enjoys the logic side of controls -building it, troubleshooting it, and making it better. This is a mission-critical role where you aren't just following a manual; you're the person who can open up a control strategy, trace the logic, and solve the puzzle rather than just resetting a code.
