Commissioning Engineer (Remote – Contract Role)
Industry: Industrial Automation & Material Handling

Are you a hands-on engineer who thrives on bringing systems to life? Our client is seeking an experienced Commissioning Engineer to join their high-performing engineering team and help implement cutting-edge industrial automation solutions across the country. This is a remote position with significant travel required—perfect for self-starters who enjoy independence, flexibility, and seeing their work in action.

In this role, you’ll take the lead on-site during commissioning phases, ensuring high-performance systems are fully tested, compliant, and optimized. This is a contract role with irregular, non-guaranteed, hours. Some weeks could be 40 hours and other weeks be only 5 hours. It depends on the customer’s needs.

You’ll work with leading technologies and collaborate with multidisciplinary teams to deliver complex material handling projects.

What You’ll Do:

• Commission and optimize material handling systems at client sites

• Perform system testing, troubleshooting, and validation

• Collaborate with engineers, contractors, and clients for seamless implementation

• Generate detailed commissioning documentation and reports

• Train end-users on systems and maintenance procedures

What You Need to Succeed:

• Associate degree in a related field (Bachelor’s in EE preferred)

• 4+ years of commissioning experience in material handling systems

• Strong Siemens Step 7 experience, including SCL and STL

• Proficiency with PLCs (primarily Allen-Bradley), VFDs, HMIs, barcode scanners, safety systems, and industrial networks

• Familiarity with industry regulations (NEC, NFPA, OSHA)

• Excellent communication and documentation skills

• Ability and willingness to travel extensively

Why Apply?

• Lead complex, rewarding projects across the U.S.

• Enjoy autonomy and flexibility with a remote, contract role

• Work with a supportive, experienced engineering team

• Make a real impact at every stage of the commissioning process
