Commissioning Engineer

Commissioning Engineer

This role focuses on Level 1 commissioning of material handling equipment, with a strong emphasis on motorized driven roller (MDR) conveyor systems and associated control architectures. You will configure, test, and validate MDR control systems, safety I/O, and industrial networks to ensure reliable and safe operation of automated conveyor solutions.

• Perform Level 1 commissioning activities for conveyor and material handling systems, with a focus on MDR conveyor control.
• Configure and validate 24
  
  VDC MDR conveyor control systems, including setup and tuning of MDR control cards.
• Commission ECC MDR control systems and modular sortation (mod sort) equipment, ensuring all components operate according to design specifications.
• Conduct detailed I/O checks, including verification of input and output signals for all field devices and control elements.
• Perform E‑Stop checks and validations to confirm proper safety system operation and compliance with required safety standards.
• Verify MDR control functionality, including start/stop logic, zone control, accumulation, and fault handling.
• Set up and configure Safety I/O modules, including safety device integration and safety configuration validation.
• Configure Ethernet/IP networks for MDR control cards and other control devices, ensuring robust and reliable communication.
• Implement and troubleshoot CANBus networks for MDR control systems, including addressing, communication, and diagnostics.
• Use Rockwell/Allen‑Bradley control platforms (including Rockwell 5000) to support commissioning, testing, and adjustments.
• Document all testing, verifications, and commissioning results using provided test forms and project documentation standards.
• Collaborate with controls engineering and commissioning teams to resolve issues identified during testing and bring systems to operational readiness.
• Support PLC programming‑related commissioning tasks as needed, including minor logic changes or configuration adjustments.
• Ensure all work follows established safety procedures and contributes to a safe working environment during commissioning activities.
• Provide clear status updates and feedback on commissioning progress, issues, and completed tests to project stakeholders.

• Hands‑on commissioning experience with material handling equipment, specifically Level 1 commissioning of conveyor systems.
• Strong experience with 24
  
  VDC MDR (motorized driven roller) conveyor control systems.
• Practical experience with ECC MDR controls and modular sortation (mod sort) systems.
• Proficiency in conducting I/O checks, including verification of inputs, outputs, and field device wiring.
• Experience performing E‑Stop checks and safety validation for automated systems.
• Ability to verify MDR control operation, including functional testing and troubleshooting.
• Familiarity with Safety I/O modules and safety configuration for industrial control systems.
• Experience with Ethernet/IP network configuration for MDR control cards and other industrial control devices.
• Experience working with CANBus networks for MDR control systems.
• Commissioning experience with Allen‑Bradley / Rockwell Automation platforms, including Rockwell 5000.
• Experience in controls engineering or controls‑related roles, including exposure to PLC programming and troubleshooting.
• Experience in material handling equipment (MHE) environments, particularly conveyor and MDR‑based systems.
• Ability to accurately document testing and verification results using standardized test forms and procedures.
• Willingness and ability to travel extensively as required by the role.

• Level 1 and Level 2 commissioning experience in industrial or material handling environments.
• Experience with Rockwell 5000 software and related Allen‑Bradley hardware platforms.
• Prior experience with MDR‑based conveyor systems in high‑throughput distribution or logistics environments.
• Experience in commissioning, PLC programming, and controls engineering, including integration of safety and communication networks.
• Strong troubleshooting skills across electrical, control, and network layers of automated systems.
• Ability to…
