Automation Technician

Rate: $35–$38/hr + OT (1.5x) + Travel Perks
Travel: ~30–40% (North America)

Location: Columbus, OH

We’re hiring multiple Field Service Technicians to support advanced automated welding systems used across North America. These aren’t cookie-cutter roles—you’ll be part of a highly technical, hands-on team working on robotic systems, electrical builds, and precision hardware.

PLC / Electrical Field Service Technician

Focus: Automation, robotics, and electrical troubleshooting

What you’ll be doing:

• Troubleshoot and support automated welding cells with robotic arms
• Work with PLC systems (Allen Bradley preferred) – basic ladder logic, debugging, and support
• Read and interpret wiring diagrams and schematics
• Perform electrical builds, panel wiring, and component replacement
• Support installation, startup, and field service projects

What we’re looking for:

• 5+ years of hands-on electrical or automation experience
• Experience with PLCs and industrial controls
• Comfortable doing both electrical AND light mechanical work
• Background as an electrician, builder, or automation tech
• Robotic arm experience = big plus

What Makes This Different

• You’re not just maintaining—you’re building, troubleshooting, and improving systems
• Work alongside a tight-knit team (22 total, growing fast)
• Exposure to robotics, AI-driven automation, and advanced manufacturing tech
• A lot of training and hands-on learning
• Flexible scheduling when not traveling
