The Planet Group
Sr. Instrumentation & Controls Designer
The Planet Group, Bothell, Washington, United States, 98021
Base pay range
$30.00/hr - $60.00/hr
Talent Acquisition | Engineering & Energy Sectors | EPC Now Hiring: Senior I&C Designer + I&C Designer (2 Roles) | Hybrid or Fully Remote
We’re supporting a long-standing engineering group that is preparing for a significant wave of new project work arriving in early 2025. As they scale, we’re helping them bring on two Instrumentation & Controls Designers—one Senior-level and one Mid-level—to join a collaborative, well‑established team.
These roles offer the chance to work on meaningful industrial and power‑focused design projects with highly experienced I&C engineers and designers. If you’re looking for stability, hands‑on design ownership, and a team that values accuracy, quality, and mentorship, this is a strong fit.
Location & Work Model
Ideally Bothell, WA, but fully remote candidates across the U.S. are welcome to apply
Hybrid available for those near an office
Little to no travel
Pay Range
Senior I&C Designer:
$36–60/hr
I&C Designer (Mid-level):
$30–50/hr
Senior Instrumentation & Controls Designer What You’ll Do
Lead and schedule design work for yourself and a small design team
Check work for compliance with specifications, standards, and the SOW
Perform and oversee drafting in AutoCAD (2D/3D) or Revit
Place instrumentation in 3D models using SmartPlant 3D, AutoCAD Plant 3D, or Revit
Support limited engineering functions under I&C engineering personnel
Mentor junior designers and maintain project documentation
Provide occasional support to Construction and Start‑Up teams
Track drawing registers and maintain ISO 9001‑compliant revision histories
What You Bring
AA in Drafting, AS in Instrumentation/Industrial Automation, or similar technical education
6+ years
of industrial or power plant I&C design experience
Deep understanding of instrumentation types, installation practices, and drafting standards
Strong AutoCAD 2D/3D skills and experience with the SmartPlant Suite (SPI, SPPID, SP3D)
Ability to read and incorporate P&IDs into I&C design
Solid understanding of electronics, PLCs, DCS, transmitters, and electrical fundamentals
Strong communication skills and the ability to work with minimal supervision
Experience leading design work and mentoring others
Instrumentation & Controls Designer (Mid‑Level) What You’ll Do
Creating I&C drawings from notes, sketches, vendor materials, SOW/DBD guidance
Drafting in AutoCAD (2D/3D) or Revit
Placing instrumentation in 3D models using SmartPlant 3D, AutoCAD Plant 3D, or Revit
Cataloging instrumentation and producing reports
Producing installation details and material take‑offs
Reviewing vendor and discipline drawings
Supporting Construction and Start‑Up teams as needed
Collaborating with designers and engineers to ensure interface accuracy
What You Bring
AA in Drafting, AS in Instrumentation/Industrial Automation, or equivalent
2+ years
of I&C design experience (industrial or power preferred)
Strong AutoCAD skills and familiarity with SmartPlant tools
Understanding of instrumentation types, drafting standards, and P&ID interpretation
Strong math foundation (algebra and trigonometry)
Basic understanding of PLCs, DCS, and electrical fundamentals
Motivated, detail‑oriented, and able to work independently with moderate supervision
Why These Roles Stand Out
Stable, well‑supported engineering group with consistent project wins
Opportunities for mentorship (both giving and receiving)
Flexible work model—including fully remote for the right candidates
A chance to influence and deliver full‑cycle I&C design packages
Team culture built on collaboration, accuracy, and professional growth
Interested? If you’d like to explore either opportunity, feel free to reach out directly or send along a resume. We’re happy to walk through the details, team structure, and answer any questions.
