PLC Controls Engineer — Siemens TIA Portal SpecialistLocation: Apple Grove, WV (near Huntington) | Type: Contract-to-Hire | Compensation: $50–55/hr DOE + $120/day per diem (hotel & meals) | Schedule: 1st Shift, 7:00 AM–4:30 PM, 40-hr base week with overtime potentialDay in the LifeAt 7:00 AM, you open Siemens TIA Portal and start with a true blank canvas. No legacy code. No patchwork fixes. You architect PLC logic around process requirements and control narratives, mapping I/O, building data structures, and shaping a clean, maintainable program from the ground up. By mid-morning, you’re aligning HMI/SCADA screens with your tag database, then heading to the floor to commission, test, and tune loops. The afternoon brings collaboration with electricians on wiring and sensor placement, field troubleshooting, and meticulous documentation for turnover.What You’ll Build and OwnDevelop new PLC programs in Siemens Step 7 / TIA Portal (S7-300/400/1200/1500) using ladder, function block, and structured textEngineer I/O configurations, data structures, and a scalable program architecture aligned to control narrativesIntegrate HMI/SCADA (e.g., WinCC, FactoryTalk, PanelView or similar) and configure comprehensive tag databasesCommission in the field: I/O checkout, loop tuning, and on-site debugging in a heavy industrial environmentInterpret P&IDs, electrical schematics, and panel layouts; coordinate with electricians and controls techs for wiring and sensor installationDocument logic and system architecture thoroughly for handoff and long-term maintainabilityWhy This Role Is DifferentThis isn’t a tweak-and-troubleshoot job. It’s greenfield development.
