People * Customers * Trust The Corporate Area Technical Manager oversees and supports the configuration of DCS logic, installation of DCS hardware, process tuning, and optimization of existing control strategies. These operating systems function in an environment where uptime expectations exceed 99%, making equipment integrity and control system reliability essential. A failure within the control system can result in catastrophic equipment damage, production losses, and significant revenue impact. Process control systems in manufacturing environments depend heavily on Distributed Control Systems (DCS), deployed across both physical and virtual platforms. Across PCA facilities, these systems represent a broad and varied installed base, ranging from recently commissioned modern platforms to legacy DCS systems that have reliably supported operations for decades. Examples include Foxboro IA, ABB Bailey Net90, Emerson DeltaV, Honeywell TDC 3000 and Experion, and Rockwell systems. These platforms operate across a combination of proprietary and open networks, run continuously in 24/7 production environments, and present distinct challenges in operations, reliability, cybersecurity, and optimization As these systems become increasingly interconnected, the reliability of both field hardware and DCS components becomes increasingly critical. PCA requires robust, resilient installations that extend from instrumentation, motors, and final control elements to operator interfaces, process historians such as PI and IBA, and business systems used for production planning. Designing and maintaining this level of integration requires creativity, practical experience, and deep technical knowledge of control system hardware, software, and instrumentation practices necessary to build dependable and resilient DCS environments. The Corporate Area Technical Manager will support each mill in maintaining, improving, and sustaining its DCS systems. This role will serve as a resource for best practices and as a key liaison among mill teams, Corporate Technology specialists, and Corporate IT professionals. Responsibilities...
