Job Description

Seeking a hands-on PLC Programmer & Designer to join a growing integration team that builds custom assembly, inspection, and welding systems for automotive, medical, and food manufacturers.

This role is focused on the electrical design and programming of PLC control panels, HMIs, and electromechanical tooling. You will own systems from schematic through programming, testing, and commissioning, working alongside electricians and project managers to bring automated cells to life.

This opportunity is ideal for someone who wants to take full ownership of the electrical design and programming of an automated cell, and grow with a company that offers consistent future opportunities.

• Motion control applications


• Industrial networks: Ethernet/IP, Profinet, EtherCAT, DeviceNet, Profibus


• Electrical design with AutoCAD Electrical or EPLAN


• HMI development and system manual descriptions


• Pneumatic safety control


• Sourcing controls components and supporting purchasing decisions

Why Is This a Great Opportunity

This is a strong opportunity for a controls professional who wants full ownership rather than a narrow slice of the work. You take an automated cell from electrical schematic through PLC and HMI programming, testing, and commissioning, so you see your designs run on the floor start to finish. The company builds custom assembly, inspection, and welding systems across automotive, medical, and food manufacturing, so the projects stay varied and technically interesting. It's a tight-knit, hands-on team with competitive hourly pay, overtime, and real room to grow with a company that keeps a steady pipeline of future work.

Our immediate outreach will be focused on those whose experience most closely matches the current needs of the role
