Program and troubleshoot PLCs, primarily using Allen-Bradley platforms, with additional work on Siemens, GE, and Omron systems as needed.
Develop, modify, and optimize control logic from scratch to ensure reliable and efficient machine operation.

Provide technical support and troubleshooting for controls and automation issues during and after machine commissioning.
Interact directly with customers during on-site visits to gather requirements, explain solutions, and ensure satisfaction with delivered systems.
Contribute to training and knowledge sharing within a team of full-time Controls Engineers and contractors.
Maintain accurate project documentation, including programs, schematics, and configuration details for future reference and support.

Work EnvironmentThe role is based in a newer, very clean facility that supports a team of seven full-time Controls Engineers and a group of contractors who collaborate closely on projects and training.
