Industrial Automation Maintenance Specialist

Join Us as an Industrial Automation Maintenance Specialist

Picture your day: you arrive on the floor, review HMI screens and PLC diagnostics, scan trends on VFDs, and prioritize a mix of electrical and mechanical work to keep high-throughput manufacturing equipment running at peak performance. A hydraulic press is drifting, an oven’s combustion system needs tuning, and a conveyor’s PLC logic requires a quick edit—all in a day’s work for someone who thrives in complex, automated environments.

  • Edit, diagnose, and optimize PLC programs on platforms such as Allen‑Bradley and Siemens (or comparable systems)
  • Execute both electrical and mechanical maintenance on industrial equipment
  • Use PLCs as your primary diagnostic tool to trace faults and resolve root causes
  • Service and rebuild complex hydraulic systems
  • Support work with industrial furnaces and ovens, including internal combustion systems (preferred)
  • Perform preventive and predictive maintenance to reduce unplanned downtime
  • Interpret electrical schematics, blueprints, and ladder logic to guide repairs and improvements
  • Follow and reinforce safety standards and plant maintenance procedures
