  • Write and develop PLC programs from scratch using Allen-Bradley ControlLogix platforms
  • Troubleshoot and optimize PLCs, PowerFlex drives, instrumentation, and network infrastructure
  • Support commissioning of new equipment and capital improvement projects
  • Integrate standalone components into centralized control systems
  • Partner with operations and maintenance teams to ensure system reliability and safety compliance
  • Maintain documentation in alignment with safety, environmental, and quality standards

What We're Looking For

Required

  • Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or related field
