Industrial Automation Technician
Personal Notes: 90 day Contract-to-Hire Schedule: 7am-5:30pm Monday-Thursday
The biggest issue we have had is less about skills and more about general attitude and willingness to do the hands-on work. We don’t want someone who thinks they can delegate the work to others. This job is very hands on – you have to be able to identify issues and resolve them yourself.
Please note that a PLC assessment will be administered during the interview process. This evaluation is conducted in a secure environment to ensure the integrity of the results.
Key Responsibilities: Assemble, test, troubleshoot, and modify control systems used in automated machinery. Conduct preventative maintenance and perform timely repairs on production equipment. Program and configure PLCs, variable frequency drives (VFDs), and servo drives. Develop user-friendly operator interface configurations for enhanced usability. Wire electrical control panels and machinery in compliance with industry standards. Create and update electrical schematics and supporting documentation for system enhancements. Diagnose and repair mechanical and electrical failures in manufacturing systems. Execute complex industrial electrical troubleshooting and diagnostics. Calibrate and maintain various control system components including PLCs, transducers, motor starters, relays, I/O modules, sensors, etc. Perform diagnostics and repairs on conveyor systems. Troubleshoot and repair hydraulic and pneumatic systems and their control components. Lead major rebuilds and equipment upgrade projects, identifying areas for process improvement and efficiency gains.
Required Qualifications & Experience: Minimum of 7 years of hands-on industrial automation experience in a manufacturing environment. Expert-level electrical troubleshooting skills (up to 480VAC). At least 3 years of experience in PLC programming and system-level debugging. Proficiency with automation software platforms such as DirectSoft, Do-More Designer, C-More Designer, and MotionWorks. Strong ability to read and produce electrical schematics, mechanical drawings, and process control documentation. Advanced knowledge of hydraulic and pneumatic systems. Familiarity with NEC (National Electrical Code) and UL508A compliance standards. Proficient in Microsoft Office Suite and AutoCAD. Skilled in using power tools and shop equipment; able to obtain forklift certification. Excellent problem-solving skills and ability to work both independently and collaboratively.
Preferred Skills: Understanding of communication protocols including RS-232, RS-422, RS-485, and Ethernet/IP. Expertise in ladder logic, VFD control, and advanced process automation. Experience with project planning, component selection, and system integration.
Work Environment: Fast-paced, hands-on manufacturing setting. Requires comfort with both electrical and mechanical systems. Strict adherence to all safety protocols and industry best practices is essential.
