Job Description

Job Title: Canary Historian Engineer
Location: Remote – open to candidates anywhere in the United States

About the Role:
An established industrial technology integrator serving oil and gas, utilities, and manufacturing has more Canary Historian work than its current team can absorb, enough to keep a dedicated engineer fully engaged for the long haul. This is a hands-on individual contributor seat. You’ll be assigned projects with a clear scope and trusted to run them: own the customer conversation, keep the work on budget, and deliver a historian system that operations teams rely on every day.

What You’ll Do:

• Stand up, configure, and tune Canary Historian environments at both the site and enterprise level
• Connect field and control-system data sources through Canary collectors (OPC UA/DA, MQTT, SQL, Modbus) and set up Store & Forward for reliable delivery over unreliable links
• Organize tag data into asset models with Virtual Views and build KPIs with the Calculation Server and Events
• Create Axiom dashboards, trends, and Excel-based reports that operators and engineers actually use
• Serve as the main technical contact for your projects: lead status calls, collect requirements, and set clear expectations
• Track hours against the project budget and raise scope changes early
• Troubleshoot data gaps, performance issues, and connectivity problems in live production systems
• Document configurations and hand projects off cleanly to customer teams

What You Bring:

• Hands-on experience implementing or administering Canary Historian (Collectors, Views, Axiom, Calculation Server)
• Working knowledge of industrial data flows: PLCs/RTUs, SCADA/HMI, OPC, and MQTT
• Comfort working directly with customers, from operations staff to engineering managers
• Ability to manage your own projects with little oversight, including schedule and budget
• Solid Windows Server, networking, and SQL fundamentals
• Clear written and verbal communication

Nice to Have:

• Experience at a systems integrator or engineering services firm
• Prior customer-facing or consulting experience
• Exposure to other historians (AVEVA PI, Ignition Historian, Proficy). Not required.
• Familiarity with Ignition, CygNet, AVEVA System Platform, or Kepware
• Background in upstream/midstream oil and gas, utilities, or manufacturing
• Canary certification
