Automation Engineer

iRiS Recruiting Solutions

Job Description

Automation Engineers — Ready for More Than Just Keeping Equipment Running?

I'm working with a manufacturing organization looking for a talented Automation Engineer who wants to make a real impact, take ownership of technical projects, and help shape the future of automation within their operation.

Why is this opportunity worth exploring?

✅ Real Ownership — Take an active role in developing, improving, and optimizing automation systems rather than simply maintaining what's already there.

✅ Technical Challenges — Work on complex automation problems that put your engineering and troubleshooting skills to the test.

✅ Visible Impact — See the direct results of your work through improved equipment performance, reliability, and efficiency.

✅ Variety — Get involved in PLC programming, controls integration, equipment improvements, and automation projects.

✅ Opportunity to Grow — Continue building your technical expertise while taking on meaningful engineering responsibilities.

What we're looking for:

  • Experience with PLC programming and industrial automation
  • Strong electrical controls and troubleshooting background
  • Experience with HMIs, sensors, drives, and automated manufacturing equipment
  • An engineer who enjoys being hands-on, solving problems, and taking initiative

If you're an Automation Engineer who enjoys the technical side of engineering but wants more ownership and influence over the systems you're working on, I'd welcome a confidential conversation.

Message me directly to learn more.
