Full Job Description

Controls Engineer - PLC/HMI (Weighing, BatchingMaterial Handling Systems)

We need a hands-on Controls Engineer with real-world Allen Bradley/Rockwell experience - this is not an entry-level role.

If you've programmed CompactLogix or ControlLogix PLCs, built FactoryTalk HMI screens, and been on-site commissioning industrial systems, we want to talk to you. If you have a controls-related degree but haven't yet done hands-on PLC/HMI work in an industrial environment, this role isn't the right fit yet - please don't apply.

What You'll Be Doing

You'll design, program, and commission PLC/HMI control systems for weighing, batching, and material handling equipment - working directly with Project Managers from the design phase through customer startup. Expect a mix of in-house engineering and field time, including travel for system commissioning and troubleshooting.

Required Experience (Non-Negotiable)

2–5+ years of hands-on PLC/HMI programming in an industrial/manufacturing controls environment (not classroom or simulation-only)
Allen Bradley hardware: CompactLogix, ControlLogix, VFDs, soft starters
Rockwell software: Studio 5000 / RSLogix, FactoryTalk Studio ME/SE
Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or a closely related field
Working knowledge of industrial sensors/instrumentation: load cells, weight indicators, pressure/level sensors, limit switches, solenoids
Willingness and ability to travel for on-site commissioning and startup support

Nice to Have (Not Required)

CAD experience - E-Plan, DraftSight, or AutoCAD
Exposure to Inductive Automation Ignition
Some structured text programming
Experience specifically in weighing/batching/material handling equipment

What You'll Own

Approval packages: sequence of operations, front panel layouts, equipment/I/O lists
PLC and HMI programming from design through in-house checkout
Instruction manuals for completed projects
Direct technical communication with vendors and customers
On-site and phone troubleshooting, system startup support
Occasional support on production-ready drawings (E-Plan/DraftSight)

Who Succeeds in This Role

Can work independently with minimal oversight
Comfortable traveling for fieldwork - this is a real part of the job, not an occasional exception
Adapts well when priorities shift
Sweats the details on documentation and wiring accuracy

Physical Requirements

Extended periods at a computer alternating with on-site work that may involve standing, squatting, lifting, and stretching
