Assist with installation, commissioning, and producing operator/maintainer training documentation.

Read and interpret engineering drawings related to control panels and enclosures.

Work closely with Lead Engineers and Project Managers to meet delivery schedules and flag scope or technical issues.

What They’re Looking For:

Strong track record in PLC control systems design and delivery.

Hands-on programming experience with IEC 61131-based systems.
