HMI programs

Also, viable

They are open to someone a bit more junior / lower cost if they can:

• Support cutovers
• Do startup work
• Handle QA/QC testing
• Sit in front of a PLC/HMI and validate indications / points / functionality

• Modicon / Control Expert programmers
• iFIX resources (likely 1-2 people specifically)

Nice-to-have / previously discussed

Ignition came up earlier as a harder-to-find / higher-priced skill set, but the immediate needs they specifically called out were the four above.

These people need to be comfortable being hands-on in the field and supporting:

• Startup / commissioning
• Cutovers
• QA/QC validation
• Verifying PLC/HMI points, indications, and functionality
• Helping get wastewater utility systems fully online
