Job Description

PLC Systems Integration Engineer (Siemens TIA Portal)

Picture your morning at 7:00 am in Apple Grove, WV. You badge in, open a blank TIA Portal project, and begin shaping the control logic that will drive a brand-new production line for a global metals and industrial automation leader. By late afternoon, your code is talking to real hardware, I/O is verified, loops are tuned, and the HMI is telling a clear story of the process you brought to life.

The Work You’ll Lead
  • Author PLC programs from the ground up using ladder logic, function block diagrams, and structured text guided by control narratives and process needs.
  • Build out I/O maps, data structures, and program architecture for new control systems.
  • Develop and connect HMI/SCADA screens with PLC tags and databases.
  • Commission your code on-site: execute I/O checkout, test sequences, and perform loop tuning and debugging.
  • Interpret P&IDs, electrical schematics, and panel layouts to ensure accurate design and implementation.
  • Partner with electricians and controls technicians on wiring, sensor installation, and panel integration.
  • Independently troubleshoot control-system issues in the field.
  • Practice Lockout/Tagout (LOTO) and follow NEC/IEC electrical safety protocols.
  • Document logic, I/O lists, and system architecture for smooth handoff.
Toolset & Platforms
  • Primary: Siemens Step 7 / TIA Portal (S7-300/400/1200/1500).
  • Also welcome: Allen-Bradley RSLogix 5000 / Studio 5000 and other major platforms (Omron, Mitsubishi, Schneider).
What You’ll Bring
  • 3+ years creating PLC programs from scratch (beyond edits or maintenance).
  • Hands-on, professional experience in Siemens Step 7 / TIA Portal (strongly preferred).
  • Proficiency reading P&IDs, wiring diagrams, and panel schematics.
  • Working knowledge of I/O wiring, control panels, and NEC/IEC standards.
Nice to Have
  • HMI/SCADA development (Siemens WinCC, Allen-Bradley FactoryTalk/PanelView, or similar).
  • Experience with Profibus, Profinet, EtherNet/IP, and DeviceNet.
  • Motion control, VFDs/drives, and safety PLC programming.
  • Background in heavy manufacturing or large industrial builds.
  • PLC cabinet assembly and field device troubleshooting.
Compensation & Logistics
  • Pay: $50–$55/hour (DOE)
  • Per Diem: $120/day for hotel and meals
  • Schedule: 40 hours/week with overtime potential
  • Shift: 1st shift, 7:00 am – 4:30 pm
  • Employment Type: Contract-to-hire
  • Location: Apple Grove, WV (just outside Huntington, WV)
About the Project

Join a major build with a global leader in metals and automation manufacturing, where you’ll own greenfield PLC programming and on-site commissioning that directly impacts performance, reliability, and operator experience.
