Job Description & How to Apply Below
Location:
Magnolia, MS 39652
We are looking for an experienced PLC Technician / Controls Technician to join our team in Magnolia. In this role, you’ll troubleshoot electrical and controls issues, respond to production downtime, and support ongoing maintenance projects. The facility has a mix of older equipment and PLC platforms, so we’re looking for someone who can work through unfamiliar problems even when documentation is limited.
Responsibilities:
Troubleshoot electrical and controls issues on production equipment to help restore operations.
Connect a laptop to PLCs, follow the logic, and identify what is causing a machine to stop.
Troubleshoot PLC inputs and outputs, photoeyes, sensors, VFDs, and analog and digital signals.
Read and interpret electrical schematics and machine diagrams.
Work with Allen-Bradley PLCs, especially PLC-5 and 5000 systems, as well as other PLC platforms.
Determine when an apparent controls issue has a mechanical cause.
Attend shift handoffs, review downtime from the previous shift, and prioritize work orders.
Support ongoing projects; heavier project work generally takes place on Saturdays and Sundays.
Communicate findings and repair needs to maintenance and production teams.
Qualifications:
8+ years of industrial maintenance experience with a strong electrical and controls background.
Hands-on experience connecting to PLCs and using the logic to troubleshoot machine faults.
Experience troubleshooting Allen-Bradley PLCs, particularly PLC-5 and 5000 systems.
Ability to read electrical schematics and machine diagrams.
Experience with photoeyes, sensors, VFDs, PLC I/O, and analog and digital signals.
Strong problem-solving skills when working with older equipment or limited documentation.
Mechanical troubleshooting knowledge is a plus.
This position focuses on troubleshooting existing systems rather than PLC programming. It’s a good fit for a technician who enjoys finding the cause of difficult equipment problems and helping keep production running.
