On-site - Toronto, ON Full-time Posted February 15, 2026$115,000 - $155,000 CADAbout the Role
We're seeking an Industrial Automation Engineer to work on software systems for our manufacturing, energy, and construction clients. This is a role at the intersection of operational technology (OT) and information technology (IT) - where industrial control systems meet modern software stacks.A typical project involves integrating PLCs and SCADA systems with cloud-based analytics platforms, building IIoT data pipelines that ingest millions of sensor readings per day, and creating real-time monitoring dashboards that plant operators actually use. You'll work on systems where downtime is measured in dollars per minute and reliability is non-negotiable.This is an on-site role based at our Toronto office with regular work at client facilities - from factory floors in southern Ontario to construction sites across Canada to energy installations in Alberta. You should be comfortable in industrial environments (hard hat, steel toes, safety briefings) and able to discuss technical problems with both software engineers and grizzled plant electricians who've been keeping the line running for 30 years.What You'll Do
