Controls Manager

Gateway Group Personnel is seeking an experienced Process Controls Manager for a leading Memphis-area client. This is a strategic leadership opportunity for a process controls and automation professional who can define long-term automation vision while also serving as a hands-on technical resource. The successful candidate will play a critical role in driving automation strategy, managing external partners, supporting project execution, and ensuring process control systems align with business objectives.

This position reports directly to the Director of Engineering and offers a hybrid work environment with a combination of in-office and remote work flexibility.

The Process Controls Manager will serve as the company's subject matter expert for automation and process control systems, providing strategic direction while supporting operational excellence across projects and facilities. This role will initially operate without a dedicated internal controls team, making the ability to independently execute and drive results essential.

The ideal candidate possesses a strong blend of technical expertise, strategic thinking, project leadership, and vendor management experience. This individual will collaborate with Engineering, IT, Sales, suppliers, and external service providers to ensure automation initiatives support business goals, compliance requirements, and future growth.

Compensation will be commensurate with experience and qualifications.

Pre-employment background screening and drug testing will be required.
