Implementation Team Lead – Digital Transformation Group Location: Cambridge, Canada
Type: Full-Time
Who We Are Since 1992, Powerhouse Controls has been on a mission to be recognized as a world-class, single-source drive and automation systems integration supplier.
We bring exceptional technical and engineering experience to the table, but what really sets us apart is an unsurpassed level of passion and commitment. We listen, question, collaborate, analyze and assess until we’re completely convinced that our recommendation is the best solution possible.
Powerhouse Controls is on the hunt for individuals who embody the spirit of innovation, collaboration, and integrity.

Position Overview At DTG, every deployment is a chance to empower people—not just install systems. As Implementation Team Lead, you'll be the keystone ensuring our deployments are technically excellent, intuitively operable, and customer-owned from day one.

You’ll be the bridge between our vision for scalable, human-centered automation and the gritty, detail-rich work of making it real on the factory floor.
This role is for someone who leads through action and clarity—ensuring every Automation Integration Specialist is supported, every solution is tested and documented, and every customer walks away saying: “I get it.



I own it.”
