J2B Industrial’s Controls & Automation Engineer program is a 12-week, 480-hour on-the-job training program in Jacksonville, FL. It prepares transitioning service members to design, build, program, test and commission control systems for the packaged skids J2B builds for data center and power generation customers.Participants start with electrical safety, J2B’s quality system, and the codes and standards behind the work (NEC, NFPA 70E/79 and UL 508A). They then learn to read electrical and instrumentation drawings and to understand how skid process equipment works. From there, they build hands-on skills:Designing and building UL 508A control panelsCalibrating instruments and setting up VFDsProgramming PLCs and HMIsConfiguring industrial networks with basic cybersecurityThe program ends with I/O checkout, FAT/SAT testing and commissioning to customer requirements, followed by a capstone project in which participants take a customer specification all the way through to a working control design and complete turnover documentation.
J2B Industrial designs, builds, tests and delivers commissioning-ready utility skids, process systems, prefabricated piping and modular infrastructure for data center, power generation, energy and industrial customers.The Controls & Automation Engineer takes J2B skid control systems from customer specification through design, build, programming, testing and turnover.
