📍 Colorado Springs, Colorado
đź’° $47 - $57
🏢 Full Time
**About This Opportunity**
This isn’t just another tech role—it’s your chance to own the nervous system of a simple cycle gas power plant in Colorado Springs. You’ll be the go-to expert for the DCS, CEMS, and every field device that keeps the lights on. If you thrive on diagnosing complex systems, turning data into decisions, and working with a team that values safety and precision, this is where your experience meets real impact.
**What You’ll Do**
You will take charge of operations, testing, and maintenance for the plant’s distributive control system and all associated instrumentation. That means you’ll:
- Administer processes and procedures alongside the O&M Manager—identifying on-condition tasks, evaluating cost-benefit of changes, and specifying instrument or electrical upgrades.
- Use installed and portable test equipment, plus technical manuals, to troubleshoot equipment and systems down to the component level.
- Compute and analyze test data to keep performance sharp, and review P&I drawings and logic diagrams to anticipate needs before they become problems.
- Monitor startup procedures to determine exactly what control and electrical support is required, then coordinate job planning, work methods, and reporting for your assignments.
- Perform both routine and non-routine preventive and corrective maintenance on plant equipment—from calibration and repair of I&C devices to upkeep of site buildings and grounds.
- Maintain calibration, test, and certification records for all electrical and instrument equipment.
- Create and update procedures for instrumentation and electrical systems, and direct work in line with company and regulatory policies.
- Operate plant mobile equipment (forklift, man lift, etc.) and support responsibilities outside scheduled hours when needed.
- Complete the O&M Tech I qualification process within two years of your start date.
**What You Bring**
- 5+ years of hands-on experience as an Instrument & Control Technician, with a proven track record in power generation or similar industrial environments.
- A two-year technical degree in instrumentation, electrical technology, or a related field—or equivalent experience that shows you can hit the ground running.
- Deep familiarity with DCS, CEMS, and field devices; you can read logic diagrams and P&IDs like a map.
- A safety-first mindset and the ability to work cooperatively, communicate clearly, and adapt when plans shift.
- Comfort with occasional travel and the flexibility to respond outside normal hours when the plant needs you.
