Job description

Controls Specialist | $95K + OT | Direct Hire

Shift: 2nd Shift (2:15 PM – 10:45 PM, M-F)

Annual Base: $95,000 + Overtime Pay

Are you a troubleshooting expert who enjoys the complexity of Allen Bradley systems but hates the constant travel of field service? We are looking for a Controls Specialist to join an established, stable manufacturing leader in the Syracuse area.

This is a Direct Hire role where you can ditch the suitcase, enjoy excellent job security, and earn significant overtime pay in a safety-first environment.

Why This Role Stands Out

• Zero Travel: This is a 100% "In-Plant" position. You’ll be home every night and work with a consistent team.
• Financial Upside: Start with a strong base of $95K, plus the opportunity for OT to significantly boost your annual earnings.
• Stability & Peace of Mind: Join a company with a long-standing history, a stellar safety record, and comprehensive, affordable medical/dental plans.
• Work-Life Balance: Enjoy a consistent Monday through Friday schedule—no rotating shifts or unpredictable weekend "on-call" clusters.

Your Impact on the Floor

As the technical lead for our plant processing equipment, you will:

• Master the Logic: Review ladder logic diagrams to diagnose and resolve complex PLC issues.
• Keep Us Running: Troubleshoot and repair high-level electrical equipment and plant machinery.
• Proactive Maintenance: Execute preventive maintenance programs to minimize downtime and optimize performance.
• System Upgrades: Lead the installation and integration of new processing equipment.

What You Bring to the Team

• PLC Expertise: Proven experience troubleshooting Allen Bradley systems (specifically Micro Logic, SLC, and Control Logix).
• Industrial Background: A solid history as an electrician or controls tech within a manufacturing environment.
• Technical Intuition: The ability to read complex diagrams and think on your feet in a fast-paced production setting.
• Reliability: A professional mindset that values safety, quality, and a job well done.
