A day in the life

You’ll arrive on first shift to a busy production floor, coordinating maintenance priorities while guiding technicians through electrical and automation tasks. Your morning may start with diagnosing a PLC fault, reviewing HMIs to fine-tune machine parameters, and walking lines to verify safety interlocks and emergency stops. By midday, you could be commissioning a newly installed VFD, interpreting European and American schematics for a troubleshooting plan, and updating a layout in AutoCAD. In the afternoon, you might assist with a robot teach point, tune a SCADA tag, and present a packaging prototype concept for stakeholder feedback—always with an eye toward safety, reliability, and continuous improvement.

  • Lead daily maintenance operations with a strong emphasis on electrical and automation systems.
  • Diagnose and resolve control issues across PLCs, HMIs, sensors, drives / VFDs, relays, contactors, and power supplies.
  • Interpret, update, and redline US and EU electrical schematics; read pneumatic and hydraulic diagrams.
  • Configure machine parameters via HMI; perform basic PLC / HMI programming and SCADA integration.
  • Oversee startups and commissioning of automation equipment; validate safety circuits and safety PLCs.
  • Support basic industrial robot programming and integration activities.
