Field Service Engineer jobs in Calgary, AB

Process Combustion Systems Inc. (PCSI), located in Calgary, Alberta, is seeking applications to fill a full-time position of Field Service Technician – Journeyman Instrumentation & Combustion (Industrial Fired Equipment). This is a travel-first field role: the majority of your working time is spent on client sites across western Canada, with some travel into the USA and internationally. Field services include: burner performance testing/tuning, working with Burner Management and Combustion Control systems (PLC and Canned Logic based), and troubleshooting/servicing industrial burner control systems. Between trips, shop and office work includes; project documentation, PLC and HMI programming, Factory Acceptance Testing, and calibration and configuration of transmitters, control valves, and VFDs.

The Company:

At PCSI, we engineer, construct, commission, and service custom combustion solutions for all industries. As a recognized industry leader, we deliver turnkey combustion systems, retrofits and advanced control systems for Industrial & Institutional fired equipment clients. PCSI maintains a full engineering contingent in Calgary which is also our centre for Sales, Manufacturing, Testing and Services.

Key Responsibilities for this position:

- On site commissioning of industrial fired equipment and surrounding instrumentation including VFDs, transmitters, control valves, standalone loop controllers;

- Interpreting electrical schematics, P&ID and SAMA diagrams;

- Troubleshooting mechanical and electrical control systems;

- Development of project documentation including control narratives, shutdown keys, commissioning and service reports, trips and alarms lists, factory acceptance tests procedures;

- Combustion performance testing and burner tuning based on portable gas analyzer data;

- Installation, calibration, configuration of industrial transmitters including temperature, pressure, level, flow, flue gas analyzers;

- Valid driver's licence, strong customer service and communication skills, and a flexible schedule with availability for overtime to meet project and startup schedules;

- Extensive travel and site work (approximately 50% of work week)- primarily within western Canada, with some travel into the USA and internationally.

Appropriate Background and Experience for Candidates being considered:

- Red Seal or Alberta Journeyman status in Industrial Instrumentation with minimum 3 years' experience as a Journeyman.

- Previous industrial combustion equipment experience – heaters / boilers / process furnaces and other fired process equipment strongly preferred;

- Experience with loop tuning of PID Controllers and incorporating advanced control loop techniques.

- Familiarity with Canadian Gas Codes B149.3 and B149.1 – gas fitter or electrical ticket is also an asset;

- PLC application, implementation and programming experience – Rockwell, Modicon and others considered an asset;

- Burner management systems and combustion control system familiarity;

- Genuine interest in industrial combustion and a commitment to developing burner expertise, which we support with in-house training;

- Plant commissioning experience (site acceptance testing, loop checks and associated documentation).

What you can expect from PCSI:

- Fired equipment training, competitive earnings and profit sharing;

- Strong support for personal skill development and industry growth, alongside a highly respected team;

- Varied, hands-on work with the expectation of paid overtime during commissioning, startups and outages, balanced by shop and office time between trips.

A successful candidate:

This role crosses instrumentation, controls, electrical and mechanical work, and moves between client sites, shop and office. Candidates seeking a single-discipline or primarily desk-based role will not find this a good fit.

- Comfortable self-managing their schedule and workload on site - coordinating directly with clients, sequencing and delegating tasks, and keeping the job moving with minimal supervision;

- A self-starter who takes ownership of a scope from mobilization through to the final report;

- Hungry for knowledge, with a genuine appetite for new equipment, control platforms and combustion processes;

- Able to work from OEM manuals, vendor documentation and drawings to reach a solution independently;

- Solid computer skills, including a working knowledge of basic industrial networking and communication protocols;

- Methodical troubleshooting skills across mechanical, electrical and control systems;

- Well organized, with disciplined field note taking and accurate, timely reporting.
