Industrial automation contractor for data centers, semiconductors, and energy infrastructure
Prime Controls is a systems integrator and I&C construction firm serving industrial automation across data centers, semiconductor fabs, water treatment, and energy. The engineering-heavy hiring mix (52 of 76 active roles) reflects their core service — detailed automation design and controls — while a parallel construction team (13 roles) handles field deployment. Active projects center on BIM/VDC standardization and cost estimation accuracy, suggesting the firm is scaling through process maturity rather than new service lines.
Prime Controls designs and deploys industrial automation and control systems for mission-critical facilities. The company works across data centers, semiconductor fabrication, water and wastewater, oil and gas, battery storage, and advanced manufacturing. Founded in 2004 and based in Lewisville, TX, Prime Controls operates as an employee-owned company (ESOP). The service model spans project design, on-site I&C construction, and post-project maintenance, with certified relationships to hardware and software vendors including Rockwell Automation and Siemens. The firm employs 1,001–5,000 people and is actively hiring across engineering and field construction roles.
