• At least 3 years of experience in controls, automation, electrical engineering, or manufacturing engineering.

• Hands-on experience with PLC programming and troubleshooting.

• Experience working with HMIs, VFDs, sensors, motor controls, and industrial electrical systems.

• Ability to read and interpret electrical schematics and technical drawings.

• Strong troubleshooting, analytical, and root-cause analysis skills.

• Comfortable working directly with plant equipment and collaborating with maintenance and operations personnel.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with Allen-Bradley/Rockwell Automation platforms, including Studio 5000, RSLogix, or FactoryTalk.

• Experience with Siemens automation systems.

• Familiarity with industrial robotics, motion control, and machine safety systems.

• Experience supporting equipment commissioning, upgrades, and startup projects.

• Knowledge of Lean manufacturing, continuous improvement, and equipment reliability practices.

What Makes This Opportunity Exciting?

• Take ownership of critical plant controls and automation systems.

• Work on hands-on technical challenges with a direct impact on manufacturing performance.

• Collaborate with experienced professionals across engineering, maintenance, and operations.

• Help drive equipment reliability, production efficiency, and continuous improvement.

• Contribute to automation projects and the ongoing advancement of manufacturing technology.
