• Troubleshoot controls issues and assist with startup and commissioning, primarily through remote access.
• Collaborate with engineering, production, installation, and customer teams; maintain accurate electrical documentation.

What We're Looking For

Associate degree or two-year technical degree in an electrical discipline required; bachelor's in electrical engineering or electrical engineering technology preferred.

Approximately 1–3 years of relevant PLC programming, controls, or electrical schematic experience preferred; candidates with strong practical experience are encouraged to apply.

Working familiarity with instrumentation, cabinet layouts, wiring diagrams, and P&IDs.

Experience with Rockwell Automation PLC/HMI tools; familiarity with the listed platforms is valuable.

Ability to communicate technical information clearly, manage details, and work across multiple projects.

Work Environment & Travel

This position is onsite Monday through Friday at a location in Telford, Montgomeryville, or a combination of both. Approximately 10% travel, primarily within the Northeast.
