  • Job offer will be contingent on drug screen and background check

  • Tools: Provided by client.

  • PPE: Candidate must supply safety glasses and boots (prescription glasses at their own cost).

  • OSHA 10 (Cons.) is required PRIOR to first day onsite


Key Responsibilities

  • Utilize Studio 5000 (Logix Designer) to navigate existing PLC programs and troubleshoot operational issues

  • Trace I/O points to identify sensor, device, or logic-related failures

  • Diagnose faults impacting critical infrastructure including:

    • Chillers and cooling systems

    • Switchgear and power distribution

    • Backup generators

    • Pumps and HVAC equipment

  • Review ladder logic, function blocks, and interlocks to isolate root cause

  • Coordinate with operations and maintenance teams to implement corrective actions

  • Support system modifications and minor logic adjustments when required

  • Verify communications between PLCs, HMIs, BMS, and EPMS systems

  • Maintain system documentation and ensure changes follow MOC (Management of Change) procedures

  • Participate in incident response for uptime-critical systems


Required Qualifications

  • Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Mechatronics, or related engineering discipline

  • 3+ years of experience working with Allen-Bradley PLC systems

  • Hands-on experience navigating and troubleshooting in Studio 5000

  • Experience with EtherNet/IP and industrial communication protocols
