Job description

Hiring a Controls Technician / PLC Programmer - Step Up to Controls Engineer (Robotics Academy)

If you've spent
the last few years on the floor programming and troubleshooting PLCs, reading
drawings, and keeping conveyors and packaging lines running - and you're ready
to move from keeping systems alive to building them - this is the programme.

Robotics
is building one control platform for every fulfilment centre. GCS Tech
Talent and The Innovation Hub are recruiting hands-on controls technicians and
PLC programmers into a Controls Academy: an intensive onsite bootcamp in
Seattle that teaches you the platform and the software workflow (Git, code review - we teach it, you don't need it yet), then deployment into engineering
teams configuring, testing and commissioning control areas in real buildings. Monthly training continues, you earn an accreditation, and the strongest engineers may find a pathway to a full-time career.

We're looking for

• 1-4 years hands-on with PLCs on any platform (Allen-Bradley, Siemens, Beckhoff, B&R, Schneider, CODESYS) including programming or modifying logic; confident reading schematics, wiring diagrams and I/O lists; experience with sensors, drives, motors and safety circuits; the kind of person who works out why it failed, not just that it did; able to be onsite in Seattle and travel or relocate for deployments (Atlanta first). Conveyor / material-handling experience is a big plus.

GCS is acting as an Employment Business in relation to this vacancy.
