Hydraulic Field Engineer

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.
