• 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.
