Senior Control Systems Project Lead

Insight Global is looking for a Senior Control Systems Project Lead to support a mining and energy client on a 12-month contract with a high likelihood of extension. This role is based in Saskatoon, SK with hybrid flexibility. The Senior Control Systems Project Lead will be responsible for leading the design, architecture, and implementation of industrial control systems across active and brownfield operating facilities. This individual will act as the technical design authority, supporting projects from early concept through commissioning, while coordinating across engineering teams, system integrators, vendors, and operations.
This role focuses heavily on control system architecture, front-end engineering design (FEL), system standards, and technical oversight rather than hands-on programming.
