MES Engineer

CandidTalent · Spokane, WA

MES Engineer - DeltaV MES Research Triangle area, North Carolina Up to $150,000 Permanent, four days on site and one remote There's a version of this job where you configure the same MES on the same site until you retire. Most DeltaV MES engineers getthat one. This is a large biologics campus with two drug substance facilities, and you'd be employed by a life sciences integrator embedded in the site. The managers run small teams on the same client projects as their engineers, the project conversation happens every week, and almost every engineer I placed there four and five years ago is still in their seat. The platform is Emerson DeltaV MES (I still know it as Syncade), running alongside a DeltaV DCS. You'd take what the customer wants a product to do, work out what DeltaV MES can deliver, then configure it. Healthcare is paid in full for you, your spouse and your kids, then a 4% 401(k) match, three weeks vacation plus enhanced maternity and paternity leave. You'll need hands on configuration of a pharmaceutical MES and time inside a cGMP facility. Two years is the floor. PAS-X, POMSnet, PharmaSuite or Opcenter all count if you're competent. Relocation is covered, and most of the Triangle is asking for five days. If you're interested get in touch.
