Job Description & How to Apply Below
A Day in the Role You clock in for Back Half Nights ready to keep a highly automated manufacturing operation humming. On your walk to the line, you scan KPIs and downtime logs, then jump straight into a PLC fault that popped up near a high-speed conveyor. A quick look at the ladder logic points you to a sensor chain, and within minutes production is moving again.
Later, you collaborate with an automation engineer on a tweak to a robot pick cycle, then round out your shift with preventative checks on VFDs, servo systems, and safety circuits across the cell.
What You’ll Own Diagnose and repair issues on PLC-controlled automation assets to restore throughput quickly
Maintain and support industrial robots, conveyors, sensors, and motor control systems
Troubleshoot VFDs, motion/drives, and electrical control panels; perform component-level fixes
Partner with automation engineers to improve machine performance and reliability
Execute preventive maintenance on automated production lines to prevent unplanned downtime
Respond to equipment stops, perform root cause analysis, and implement corrective actions
Why This Role This is a hands-on position working with PLC-driven systems, robotics, and advanced material handling in a fast-paced manufacturing environment. It is not basic maintenance—you’ll collaborate daily with engineers and seasoned technicians to optimize and elevate system performance as our client expands operations.
What You Bring Strong PLC troubleshooting abilities, plus experience programming and modifying PLC logic
Comfort working in automated manufacturing settings (beyond general maintenance)
Ability to interpret and apply electrical schematics and expert electrical schematic reading
Solid troubleshooting methodology for complex industrial automation equipment
Knowledge of single- and three-phase power distribution
Hands-on with 120/208/240/480 VAC systems and high-voltage practices
Industrial robot programming exposure (path edits, IO, recovery)
SCADA familiarity for monitoring, alarms, and data collection
Experience with industrial electrical systems and diagnostics (including heavy equipment)
Background in industrial/manufacturing engineering principles
Exposure to highly regulated manufacturing such as aerospace is a plus Machines & Technologies You’ll Use Variable Frequency Drives (VFD)
Programmable Logic Controllers (PLC):
Allen-Bradley, Fanuc, Mitsubishi Vision systems for inspection and guidance
Servo motors and motion control
Industrial robots: KUKA, Fanuc, ABB
