· Willingness to travel to customer sites in the region for startups and service

· Valid driver's license and an acceptable driving record

· Must pass a pre-employment drug test

A plus: AutoCAD Electrical experience - schematic and panel layout drafting, symbol libraries, and automated reports (wire lists, terminal plans, BOMs).

Also nice to have: Rockwell safety (GuardLogix) and motion (Kinetix) experience. PLC-5 / SLC 500 migration experience. Ignition SCADA. Process control and PID loop tuning. Water/wastewater or municipal SCADA background. Siemens TIA Portal or other platforms as a secondary skill.

## Description

· PLC programming in Studio 5000 Logix Designer - ControlLogix and CompactLogix applications from blank project to commissioned system: structured, well-commented ladder logic, plus function block and structured text where they fit.

· Program architecture - build clean, reusable code with UDTs, Add-On Instructions, and consistent tag and routine structures that the next programmer can follow.

· Motion, drives, and networks - configure PowerFlex drives, Kinetix servo where applicable, and EtherNet/IP device networks; set up produced/consumed tags and messaging between controllers.

· Safety - GuardLogix / safety PLC programming and safety I/O configuration where the application requires it.

· HMI / SCADA - develop operator screens and SCADA applications in FactoryTalk View ME/SE, GE Proficy iFIX, and Wonderware (AVEVA InTouch / System Platform), including alarming, trending, historian, and security.

· Control panel design - schematics, panel layouts, I/O assignments, and bills of material for control panels built in our shop.

· Upgrades and migrations - convert PLC-5 / SLC 500 legacy systems to ControlLogix / CompactLogix with minimal downtime.

· Startup and commissioning - I/O checkout, loop testing, FAT/SAT, on-site troubleshooting, and operator training.

· Documentation - as-built drawings, commented program backups, I/O lists, and turnover packages that are complete when the job is done.

· Technical leadership - review code from other programmers, mentor junior designers and electricians, and set programming standards for the division.
