About the Role
We’re looking for a controls professional who thrives on building reliable automation from PLC logic to intuitive HMIs and turning project specifications into robust, tested code. You’ll collaborate with project managers, engineers, and clients to deliver integrated solutions, and then be hands‑on during commissioning and start‑up to ensure everything runs as intended.
What You’ll Do
Design & program PLC systems using Rockwell
Studio 5000, RSLogix 5000, and RSLogix 500
Design & configure HMIs using Rockwell
FactoryTalk View ME/SE
and
Studio 5000 View Designer
Translate
control narratives, P&IDs, and electrical diagrams
into well‑structured PLC code;
compile, test, and document
thoroughly
Build HMI screens that enable safe, efficient operation and add
data acquisition/reporting
features per spec
Provide
plant checkout, commissioning, and start‑up
services on customer sites; troubleshoot and support existing client applications
Configure/troubleshoot
Ethernet hardware
(Gateways like
ProSoft/EWON , managed switches),
VFDs , and process instrumentation
Integrate/network
PLCs, HMIs, VFDs, and third‑party devices
across control networks ( EtherNet/IP, DeviceNet, Modbus TCP )
What You’ll Bring
Experience with
Rockwell Automation
tools:
Studio 5000, RSLogix 500/5000, FactoryTalk View ME/SE, Studio 5000 View Designer ; proficiency with Microsoft Office
Education: Associate’s in
Industrial Controls, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science , or related field;
0–4 years
experience (or equivalent mix)
Ability to configure & troubleshoot
electrical control circuits
(analog/digital wiring, relay logic)
Knowledge of
VFD programming/configuration , control wiring, and Ethernet control
Ability to read
engineering specs, electrical schematics, control narratives, and P&ID drawings
Strong troubleshooting across controls/devices; knowledge of
manufacturing & mechanical systems
Clear communication, collaboration, and organization to manage multiple priorities and deadlines
Valid driver’s license ; willingness to travel between offices and customer sites
Ideal Candidate Demonstrates
Level 2 proficiency or above
in our technical progression framework, is comfortable with
analog loops
and a
process meter , can create
FTView SE
projects, complete
small water/wastewater
projects, pass data between processors via
message instructions , provide
remote service , and shows a solid understanding of
Ethernet networking .
Growth & Skill Progression (Levels 1–5)
Level 1:
Foundations - lift station logic in RSLogix/Studio 5000; FTView ME projects; motor run/fail & alternation; schematic edits; multimeter use
Level 2:
Systems & networking - analog signal loops & process meter; FTView SE projects; small water/wastewater projects; messaging between processors; remote service
Level 3:
Advanced tools -
Win911 ,
XL Reporter ; PID tuning (pressure, level, flow); radio systems; remote access; full water/wastewater project delivery
Level 4:
Complex architectures - indirect addressing for multi‑PLC control; protocols ( DF1, Modbus RTU/TCP, ControlNet, DeviceNet, EtherNet/IP ); lead programmers; troubleshoot complex Ethernet networks
Level 5:
Enterprise scale - layout
FTView SE Network Distributed
systems; create/test new
AOIs
for code library
