Job description
The Controls Engineer - Traveling role focuses on commissioning and troubleshooting PLC-based material handling systems in large, complex environments. You will independently develop, debug, and test PLC code, support system-level integration, and ensure projects are delivered on time and within budget. This position requires a strong multi-disciplinary understanding of material handling systems and the ability to solve complex and abstract problems while collaborating with cross-functional engineering teams.
Responsibilities
- Commission and troubleshoot PLC-controlled material handling systems, including conveyor systems, automated warehousing and distribution systems, baggage handling systems, and other automated systems.
- Apply customer requirements and specifications to independently write, debug, and test PLC code.
- Use engineering drawings to develop, debug, and test PLC code in alignment with established standards and libraries.
- Utilize established AOI libraries and PLC coding standards to ensure consistent, high-quality controls software.
- Follow documented ways of working and established engineering processes throughout the project lifecycle.
- Document the progress of assigned tasks clearly and accurately for project tracking and reporting.
- Write detailed design documents that describe control strategies, system behavior, and implementation details.
- Develop test plans at integrated system, area, zone, and section levels to validate system functionality.
- Monitor the internal quality of controls deliverables to achieve high first-pass yield and minimize rework.
- Perform quality checks on controls deliverables and provide thorough documentation of completion and status.
- Prepare and review daily and weekly progress reports to keep stakeholders informed of project status.
- Interface and coordinate with internal and external stakeholders to resolve technical issues and document resolutions for the project lead.
- Act as an independent contributor on complex, large-scale, and unique projects, ensuring effective execution of controls engineering tasks.
- Ensure the quality and timeliness of assigned controls project engineering deliverables, meeting project milestones and objectives.
- Provide expert-level technical support for the installation, programming, and operation of controls hardware and software.
- Troubleshoot at the system level, understanding how multiple machines and subsystems interact rather than focusing solely on individual machines.
- Apply knowledge of electrical controls hardware design, communication networks, and power distribution to support system implementation.
- Support project scheduling activities by understanding and aligning work with the overall project plan.
- Incorporate machine and system safety standards and design considerations into controls solutions.
- Prioritize work effectively, take ownership of assigned tasks, and accept responsibility for project completion.
- Collaborate with other controls engineers and cross-discipline contributors to deliver tangible project results.
- Research and implement solutions to technical problems, demonstrating a logical and methodical approach to engineering challenges., Artificial Intelligence Benefits Administration Verbal Communication Skills +0 SharePoint/Nintex Migration Engineer TEKsystems
