PLC Controls Engineer

What You Will Be Doing:

The company you will be working for is a large, 45-year-old company with facilities throughout the United States and around the World. Their growth was quite meteoric through the 90s and early-2000s, in some sense they are catching up to that growth. Process control and automation of their manufacturing plants has been more of a recent undertaking – they are automating more and more of their plant processes and will be moving towards robotics in the coming years. This role will mostly support regional facilities, as well as a plant in NC and a plant in GA. Occasional overseas trips are offered as well. Travel for this role will average about 20% and at times, will be higher during start-ups. One of the selling points of this job is the variety of work – it’s not the same thing everyday and there is also a variety of desk-work and field-work.

Minimum Requirements:

• B.S. degree in Chemical Engineering or Electrical Engineering preferred, will consider someone with no degree with commensurate experience
• 5 years of previous process control experience, out of manufacturing (chemicals, foods, widgets, etc.)
• Must have experience with programming/writing code on PLC systems, ideally Allen Bradley systems
• Should have process control design experience
• A big plus would be previous instrumentation experience
• Willingness to travel as needed (average 20%)
