We’re looking for an experienced Controls Technician to join our manufacturing team and keep automated production equipment running at peak performance.

• Test, maintain, and improve automated production systems
• Work with manufacturing and engineering teams to resolve equipment issues
• Respond to production equipment breakdowns and provide support when needed
• Help improve equipment reliability, uptime, and overall production performance

What We’re Looking For

• 3–5 years of manufacturing, industrial controls, or automation experience
• Hands-on PLC troubleshooting experience
• Proven experience editing, modifying, and manipulating PLC code
• Experience troubleshooting automated industrial equipment
• Strong electrical and controls troubleshooting skills
• Strong mechanical/electrical problem-solving ability
• Ability to diagnose problems quickly and determine effective solutions
• Ability to work independently with minimal supervision

A technical degree, certificate, or equivalent hands-on experience is preferred.

Why This Opportunity?

This is a hands-on controls role where your technical skills directly impact production. You’ll work with automated manufacturing equipment, solve challenging controls problems, and play an important role in keeping operations running safely and efficiently.

If you have strong PLC troubleshooting skills and hands-on experience modifying PLC code, we’d like to talk with you.
