WHAT YOU GET TO DO

The Control Systems Engineer - PLC provides control-system focused support to keep the Customer’s automated warehouse stable and running. The role monitors and troubleshoots Storage, Conveyor and Sorter PLC-controlled equipment, triages incidents, restores service where possible through structured troubleshooting and approved actions, and coordinates resolution by guiding on-site resources and escalating to the Service Desk, controls development, and other subject matter experts when required.

Monitor and support Storage, Conveyor and Sorter PLC-controlled automation to maintain stable warehouse operations and minimize downtime.
Respond to and triage control-system incidents; diagnose faults across PLC logic, HMIs, sensors/actuators, drives/VFDs, and industrial networks (e.g., PROFINET) within defined scope.
Restore service by resolving the root cause or applying an approved workaround; initiate and follow Change Request / Problem Management processes for recurring issues or permanent fixes.
Coordinate with on-site maintenance/controls resources and remote support teams; escalate internally when resolution cannot be achieved within operational scope or SLA timelines.

Disciplined approach to change control: backups before changes, approvals, testing prior to production use, documentation, and version control; no unauthorized changes and no safety bypasses.
Ability to work independently and under pressure in a shift-based environment; strong troubleshooting mindset and hands-on approach.

Working Conditions and Environment:
