ISA Automation Analyst

This is a critical position focused on building and scaling next-generation automated workflows across engineering and project execution teams.

The individual will operate at the intersection of Industrial & Systems Engineering, data management, and AI-assisted workflow development.

Role Overview

This role is responsible for discovering inefficiencies in current engineering and execution workflows, designing structured automation solutions, and scaling them into maintainable, production-ready systems.

The candidate must be capable of both technical execution and driving organizational adoption through documentation and training.

This is not a pure IT or software development role. We are specifically looking for someone who can:

• Work within engineering environments (CAD/design/data systems)
• Understand how work is performed today
• Translate that into structured, logic-based improvements

Primary Responsibilities

1. Process Discovery & Automation Development

• Identify unoptimized or manual processes (CAD, reporting, data tracking, etc.)
• Map current-state workflows and design automation solutions
• Build solutions using SQL logic, AI-assisted tools, and scripting
• Deliver quick wins while building toward scalable systems

2. System Ownership & Maintenance

• Own existing automation tools, scripts, and repositories
• Maintain and continuously improve current workflows
• Troubleshoot and stabilize solutions to ensure reliability

3. Data Management & Validation

• Work heavily with structured data (SQL Server, Excel, project systems)
• Validate, clean, and standardize data across systems (CAD, CMS, reporting)
• Build audit and validation processes to ensure data integrity

4. AI-Enabled Workflow Development

• Use tools like Copilot/ChatGPT to accelerate workflow development
• Build repeatable prompt frameworks or agent-based workflows
• Integrate AI in controlled, scalable, production-ready ways

5. Documentation & Systems Structuring

• Create structured documentation (process flows, logic, test results, user guides)
• Maintain tracking of bugs, enhancements, and improvements
• Ensure solutions are maintainable by others

6. Training, Communication & Change Management (Critical)

• Train internal teams on new tools and processes
• Translate technical solutions into simple, actionable guidance
• Drive adoption across engineering and project teams
• Act as a bridge between technical developers and end users

Required Skillset & Experience

• Strong hands-on SQL experience (queries, validation, structured logic)
• Proven experience automating real-world workflows
• Experience owning and maintaining systems over time
• Practical use of AI tools for workflow execution (not beginner-level)
• Strong documentation and communication capabilities
• Ability to teach, train, and drive adoption
   

Preferred Background

• Degree in Industrial & Systems Engineering or similar
• Exposure to engineering, design, construction, or EPC workflows
• Experience with CAD-related systems or engineering datasets
• Python or low-code automation tools (nice to have)

Candidate Profile

• Highly organized and detail-oriented
• Strong ownership mindset
• Comfortable in unstructured, evolving environments
• Fast learner across multiple domains
• Execution-focused (not just conceptual)
