Job description

Picture your morning at 7:00 am in Apple Grove, WV. You badge in, open a blank TIA Portal project, and begin shaping the control logic that will drive a brand-new production line for a global metals and industrial automation leader. By late afternoon, your code is talking to real hardware, I/O is verified, loops are tuned, and the HMI is telling a clear story of the process you brought to life.

The Work You’ll Lead

Author PLC programs from the ground up using ladder logic, function block diagrams, and structured text guided by control narratives and process needs.
Build out I/O maps, data structures, and program architecture for new control systems.
Develop and connect HMI/SCADA screens with PLC tags and databases.
Commission your code on-site: execute I/O checkout, test sequences, and perform loop tuning and debugging.
Interpret P&IDs, electrical schematics, and panel layouts to ensure accurate design and implementation.
Partner with electricians and controls technicians on wiring, sensor installation, and panel integration.
Independently troubleshoot control-system issues in the field.
Practice Lockout/Tagout (LOTO) and follow NEC/IEC electrical safety protocols.
Document logic, I/O lists, and system architecture for smooth handoff.

Toolset & Platforms

Primary: Siemens Step 7 / TIA Portal (S7-300/400/1200/1500).
Also welcome: Allen-Bradley RSLogix 5000 / Studio 5000 and other major platforms (Omron, Mitsubishi, Schneider).

Requirements

3+ years creating PLC programs from scratch (beyond edits or maintenance).
Hands-on, professional experience in Siemens Step 7 / TIA Portal (strongly preferred).
Proficiency reading P&IDs, wiring diagrams, and panel schematics.
Working knowledge of I/O wiring, control panels, and NEC/IEC standards.

Nice to Have

HMI/SCADA development (Siemens WinCC, Allen-Bradley FactoryTalk/PanelView, or similar).
Experience with Profibus, Profinet, EtherNet/IP, and DeviceNet.
Motion control, VFDs/drives, and safety PLC programming.
Background in heavy manufacturing or large industrial builds.
PLC cabinet assembly and field device troubleshooting.
