I'm looking to make a career pivot and wondering what life is like at one of these automation/instrument companies. I am in fabrication right now as a design manager building modular O&G process equipment. Hoping for a little more flexibility in my schedule as the execs at my current company are pretty old school on hybrid work, vacation time, etc.

Would love to hear your opinion if you work at any of the following in the Houston area:
ABB
Siemens
Rockwell Automation
Yokogawa
Endress Hauser
Fisher
Norriseal
Allen Bradley
Honeywell
..etc etc

Thanks in advance!

I don't work for them, but buy from a bunch of them, and know a bunch of guys that do, as I am in Automation.

Tons of Aggies at every manufacturer and rep firms as well.

Two leads to start....

CT'99 has this listing for inside sales rep for SMR Gulfcoast who is a rep firm for Nema 7 boxes, and Panduit, among others. He is a good dude to know.

There also is a website created by Aggies for Industrial Distribution, her name was Kelly something. The jobs you are talking about are ID, or some sort of engineering, with a few in business as well.

I found it: https://www.idcareermatch.com/

You might end up starting un inside sales depending on your experience, but most of the outside guys I know were able to transition fairly quickly.

I'll check both of those out, thank you!
