PLC Programmer | Houghton, MI

Salary Range: $68,000 - $107,000 depending on experience

Are you a dynamic leader with a passion for excelling as a plc programmer? The Pivot Group Network, a Michigan manufacturing-focused recruiting group, is dedicated to building meaningful connections and supporting community growth. We collaborate with leading companies in the Houghton area seeking experienced PLC Programmers to drive results.

We are building our network of talent in this field across Michigan's manufacturing regions. Our partner companies may or may not have an immediate opening for this exact role today, but we actively look for skilled professionals in the regions where they operate. If there is alignment now or in the near future, we reach out.

This posting covers PLC Programmer opportunities with manufacturers based in and around Houghton in Houghton County, within about 45 minutes of the city, including Baraga, Dollar Bay, Calumet, and Atlantic Mine.

The Opportunity

We partner with manufacturers across the Houghton area seeking PLC Programmers who want more than a lateral move. These companies hire intentionally, and we connect them with professionals ready for roles that fit.

Usual Responsibilities

Troubleshoot PLC and control system issues on the production floor.
Integrate PLCs with HMIs, sensors, and other automation devices.
Perform testing and debugging of new and modified programs.
Document program changes and maintain version control.
Collaborate with engineers and maintenance to improve equipment reliability.
Support installation and startup of new automated systems.
Write and modify PLC programs for manufacturing equipment.

Recommended Qualifications

Hands-on experience with HMI configuration and troubleshooting.
Experience programming PLCs such as Allen-Bradley, Siemens, or Mitsubishi.
Ability to read and interpret electrical schematics and ladder logic.
Knowledge of industrial communication protocols (Ethernet/IP, Modbus, etc.).
Associate degree in electrical engineering technology or related field, or equivalent experience.

Bonus Qualifications

Experience with variable frequency drives (VFDs).
Experience with robotics integration (e.g., Fanuc, ABB).
Familiarity with SCADA systems.
Knowledge of safety PLCs and standards.
Certification in PLC programming or controls.

Job Titles That Should Apply

Instrumentation Technician, Automation Technician, Controls Technician, Electrical Engineer, Systems Integrator, Maintenance Technician, Controls Engineer, Automation Engineer, PLC Technician, Electrical Controls Technician

Work Authorization

Applicants must be authorized to work in the U.S. without current or future visa sponsorship. Visa sponsorship is not available.
