Perform root cause analysis on equipment and process failures and implement corrective actions.
Analyze operational and equipment performance data to improve reliability, productivity, and process efficiency.
Collaborate with operations, maintenance, contractors, vendors, and multidisciplinary engineering teams to implement automation and process improvements.
Support project planning, execution, commissioning, testing, startup activities, and field verification efforts.
Monitor project progress and ensure technical deliverables meet quality, safety, and operational requirements.
Participate in continuous improvement, reliability, and maintenance initiatives, including planned outages and shutdown activities.

Requirements

Minimum of 5-10 years of experience in industrial controls, automation, or electrical engineering within a manufacturing or process environment.
Hands-on experience programming, troubleshooting, and maintaining Rockwell Allen-Bradley PLC systems.

Familiarity with industrial communication protocols including Ethernet/IP, Modbus, Profibus, or Profinet.
Strong troubleshooting, analytical, and problem-solving skills.
