Controls & Automation Technician

Walter Solutions is a controls and automation shop in Mentor. We build control panels, retrofit machinery, install safety systems, and program PLCs for manufacturers across Northeast Ohio. Right now that's one person, the owner. You'd be the second. This is a real first hire, not a headcount slot. You'll ride along and work directly with the owner for your first three months, learning the way this trade is actually taught: on the job, on live equipment, with someone who does the work standing next to you. What the work looks like Building and wiring control panels in the shop. Commissioning projects and troubleshooting onsight. Running wireway and conduit between machine components. Terminating field wiring, mounting sensors and safety devices, commissioning drives and I/O. Troubleshooting when a machine goes down and a plant is losing money by the hour. Most days are day trips within about ninety minutes of Mentor. You're home at night. Fewer than ten overnights a year. What you\'d grow into Reading and redlining schematics on your own. Making PLC and HMI edits. Running a small job start to finish. There\'s a defined path to Integration Technician, and it isn\'t a poster on the wall, it\'s the reason this role exists.
