About the role
Location: Huntington, WV area (onsite)
Type: Contract-to-hire · Full time · Day shift, 40 hrs/week plus overtime, no nights
A steelmaker is hiring a Hydraulic Field Engineer to own every hydraulic system in its plant, from commissioning through repair. Much of the equipment is European-built, with more complex hydraulic designs than typical domestic mill gear, so field depth with a major hydraulics OEM counts for more than industry background. You set your own floor-to-office split.
What you'll do
- Own the plant's hydraulic systems end to end: commissioning, PM, troubleshooting and repair
- Plan spares and parts for hydraulic components
- Work the floor on your own, solving issues with little supervision
- Drive improvements to hydraulic systems and maintenance practices
- Partner with the mechanical team and site leaders on plant reliability
What you bring
- Field engineering background commissioning and servicing hydraulic systems on site (design-only won't fit)
- Direct experience with Rexroth, Parker or a similar hydraulics OEM or service contractor
- Strong reading of hydraulic schematics and equipment specs
- Hands-on troubleshooting and repair skills
- Comfort owning a system alone, around heat, noise and heavy machinery (standard PPE)
Nice to have: Experience with European-built or similarly complex hydraulics, steel or heavy industrial plants, spares planning.
Starts as a contract with a path to permanent based on performance.
