A leading global logistics and technology organization is bringing hundreds of new facilities online across the United States - and every one of them needs power before it can open. We are hiring experienced Program Managers to join the energy team driving that buildout.
This is the same site energization challenge dominating the data center world, applied to one of the largest industrial programs in the country. You will sit at the intersection of program management and electrical infrastructure - driving utility interconnections, running power due diligence on new sites, and deploying bridge power solutions that keep multi-million-dollar construction timelines on track.
What you will do
Lead power due diligence for new sites: available capacity, interconnection requirements, timelines and costEngage directly with utility providers to secure capacity and drive interconnection at the lowest costPartner with site design, engineering and construction teams to rightsize power requirements and remove blockersDevelop temporary and bridge power solutions where permanent connections lagRun program cadence across a portfolio of sites: stakeholder coordination, timelines, reporting and escalationWhat we are looking for
A blend of program management and genuine electrical subject matter expertise - able to run a complex, multi-stakeholder program while holding technical conversations about substations, transformers and loadHands-on experience of the utility interconnection process - you have taken a facility or project through it end to endBackgrounds we value: electrical engineers from the utility distribution side, grid resiliency or renewables integration, and data center or large-scale site energizationComfortable operating at pace with senior stakeholders across engineering, construction and external utilitiesGCS is acting as an Employment Business in relation to this vacancy.

A leading robotics and automation organization is seeking a Controls Software Engineer to join the team behind one of the largest industrial robotics deployments in the world - a fleet of advanced robotic pick-and-place workcells operating across automated fulfillment sites, scaling from over 1,000 machines today to several thousand in the next two years.
This is a software-engineering role in a controls environment - not a traditional PLC position. The team is built largely of engineers from C/C++ software backgrounds who work hands-on with real industrial control hardware. If you pair genuine software-development ability with real controls or automation experience, this is a rare chance to do deep, high-impact work at extraordinary scale.
The Role
As a Controls Software Engineer, you'll support and improve the control software running across the deployed robotic fleet:
Investigate and resolve bugs and faults in the deployed control application across a large fleet of machinesDrive rate and throughput improvements across the servo control, motion orchestration, and state-handling layersWork hands-on with real hardware in the lab - servos, drives, sensors, vision systems, and conveyanceDiagnose issues from telemetry, logs, and alarm history; take fixes from root cause through to deploymentAuthor change documentation and runbooks, and align stakeholders before fleet-wide rolloutsThe deployed application is written in Structured Text (CODESYS) on Linux-based industrial PCs, with a parallel migration into modern C++ underway. The codebase is large and mature - success here is as much about strong software-engineering instincts as it is about controls.
What We're Looking For (Non-Negotiables)
Real controls experience - hands-on work with industrial control systems, machine control, motion/servo, robotics, or embedded real-time automationA firm grasp of software development in a modern, lower-level language - ideally C, C++, Rust, or Structured TextThe ability to navigate and contribute to a large, mature codebase with strong software-engineering disciplineWillingness to work on-site in Seattle or BostonImportant: CODESYS and Structured Text are not strict requirements. Most of the team came from C/C++ backgrounds and picked up CODESYS on the job. If you have strong lower-level software skills and genuine controls or automation experience, you're in scope - the Structured Text can be learned on the job.
Strongly Preferred
Structured Text on any platform - CODESYS, TwinCAT, Allen-Bradley, SiemensEmbedded, real-time, or industrial software experienceServo/motion control, robotics, or Cartesian / pick-and-place workcell backgroundLinux at the system level; EtherCAT or industrial fieldbus experienceExperience supporting production or fleet-scale systemsExperience Level
Open to strong mid-level engineers (3-5 years) who can own and deliver, through to senior engineers who can plug in immediately. What matters is the combination of real controls exposure and genuine software-engineering ability.
