Job description

Role SnapshotJoin a large industrial manufacturing operation in Carrollton, GA as an experienced Industrial Controls Troubleshooting Technician. You’ll be the person production calls when automated lines stall—hands-on, laptop open, quickly zeroing in on the electrical and PLC root cause, and getting equipment running again.A Day in the LifeYour shift kicks off with a call from a production line. You connect to the PLC over Ethernet or the plant’s wireless network, review the logic, and pinpoint the fault. With ~80% of the site running on Siemens and the remainder on Allen‑Bradley, you’re comfortable navigating both to diagnose issues fast. You might load parameters to a replacement drive or make a small logic tweak to clear a bottleneck. Throughout the day, you partner with the shift supervisor to prioritize breakdowns and open work orders, then independently drive each task to resolution.Note: This is not a PLC programming role. You’ll work within existing programs for troubleshooting and make only minor logic edits when necessary. The work is 100% electrical/PLC-focused—mechanical technicians handle mechanical maintenance.What You’ll HandleRapid response to electrical and controls-related equipment failures across the facilityDirect connection to PLCs using a laptop via Ethernet or wirelessDiagnostics on Siemens and Allen‑Bradley PLCs (majority Siemens)Logic review to identify root causes and clear faultsTroubleshooting of control circuitsReplacement, configuration, and parameter downloads for drives/VFDsMinor logic changes only when needed to restore operationCoordination with the shift supervisor to sequence calls and work ordersIndependent ownership of assigned assets and corrective actionsClose collaboration with maintenance to sustain reliable productionWhat You BringBackground as an Electrical Technician, Controls Technician, or similar industrial maintenance roleExperience in an industrial manufacturing environmentHands-on troubleshooting of PLC-controlled machineryAbility to connect to and navigate Siemens and/or Allen‑Bradley platformsSkill reading PLC logic to support fault findingProficiency in electrical/control circuit troubleshootingExperience with drives/variable frequency drivesConfidence working independently on breakdownsStrong diagnostic approach and root-cause mindset
