Industrial Controls and SCADA Engineer

Step into a role where you don’t just keep automated systems running—you make them better every day. You’ll blend hands-on troubleshooting with systems thinking to elevate uptime, safety, and throughput across mission-critical environments powered by conveyors, sortation lines, scanners, vision systems, print-and-apply equipment, PLCs, and SCADA.

• Begin by checking SCADA dashboards and equipment KPIs to spot trends and tune preventive maintenance strategies that reduce unplanned downtime.
• Jump into PLC logic on Allen‑Bradley ControlLogix/CompactLogix using RSLogix 5000 to diagnose and refine control software for material handling systems.
• Serve as the first-call escalation—on-site and remote, during and after business hours—to resolve complex controls issues and coordinate rapid response to emergencies.
• Walk the systems to verify operation against design intent and client specifications; close gaps with targeted adjustments.
• Scope, schedule, and inspect work by third-party contractors—from licensed installations and upgrades to specialized maintenance—ensuring quality and compliance.
• Engineer reliability and process improvements from concept through network-wide implementation.
• Monitor and troubleshoot industrial networks (Ethernet, ControlNet, DeviceNet, Profibus, AS‑i) along with motor control systems, servo drives, VFDs/frequency drives, and electrical distribution.
• Analyze failure modes, lead reviews, and recommend procedural changes or retraining to prevent recurrence.
• Partner with site leadership, operations, and maintenance to communicate technical risks, timelines, and production impacts with clarity.
• Track MHE performance metrics and team up with technicians to eliminate electrical issues affecting throughput.
• Build strong relationships with the client and the Operations Maintenance team, and take on additional duties as needed.

• Bachelor's degree preferred with 2–5 years of relevant experience; a combination of education and experience may be considered in lieu of a degree.
• Experience spanning at least two engineering design cycles (specification, component selection, programming).
• 2+ years working with PLC programming, robotics system components and controls, and SCADA-based monitoring/control systems.
• Flexible to work weekends, nights, and holidays as required; comfortable being the escalation point after hours.
• Independent problem solver able to execute with minimal oversight and follow general instructions in standard situations.
• Physical capability to stoop, stand, walk, climb stairs/ladders, and lift/carry 50+ lbs.
• Skilled at guiding complex conversations, conveying expectations, and resolving sensitive issues.

• 2+ years apprenticeship or equivalent experience in control systems troubleshooting/programming.
• Background supporting a variety of conveyor and sortation technologies.
• Experience with robotic maintenance.
• Proficiency with Microsoft Word, Excel, Outlook, and related tools.
• Exceptional organization, curiosity, and follow-through.
• Advanced math skills for calculations involving percentages, fractions, and financial figures.

• PLC programming
• SCADA
