Job Description

Job Description

Keep critical lines running—own the controls that power trusted brands

A filler stops mid-run. An HMI alarm flashes. In seconds, you isolate the fault, reference the schematic, tweak a PLC routine, and bring the line back to rate—safely and efficiently. If that scenario energizes you, you’ll thrive as a Manufacturing Control Systems Technician on KIK’s 1st shift.

Your mission

• Install, service, and improve industrial automation systems across production operations.
• Troubleshoot, program, and repair PLC-controlled equipment (Allen‑Bradley, Siemens, Mitsubishi).
• Modify PLC and HMI code to meet operational requirements and CI goals.
• Optimize machine control logic to increase uptime, throughput, and reliability.
• Interpret electrical schematics, wiring diagrams, and control drawings with accuracy.
• Contribute to control system design and equipment upgrade projects; support commissioning.
• Ensure work aligns with OSHA, NEC, NFPA 70E, and site safety / quality standards.
• Create and maintain accurate documentation for programs, schematics, and configurations.
• Partner with maintenance, engineering, and production to resolve root causes.
• Drive preventive maintenance for control systems and electrical components.
• Train maintenance technicians and operators on use and basic troubleshooting of automation.
