A steel producer needs an Industrial Controls Technician who can write PLC programs from a blank page for a large controls project at its plant. If most of your work has been editing existing programs, this one isn't the right fit.
What you'll do
- Write new PLC programs in Siemens Step 7 / TIA Portal (S7-300/400/1200/1500) using ladder, FBD and structured text
- Design I/O configurations, data structures and program architecture for new systems
- Tie HMI/SCADA screens to PLC logic and set up tag databases
- Commission on site: I/O checkout, loop tuning, testing and debugging
- Work from P&IDs, schematics and panel layouts with electricians on wiring and sensors, and document everything for handoff
What you bring
- 3+ years writing PLC programs from scratch; Siemens strongly preferred
- Equivalent from-scratch work in Allen-Bradley Studio 5000 / RSLogix 5000, Omron, Mitsubishi or Schneider considered
- Solid grasp of schematics, I/O wiring and control panel layouts
- Knowledge of NEC/IEC wiring standards and LOTO
- Comfort working on site with little supervision in a heavy plant
Nice to have: WinCC, FactoryTalk or PanelView HMI work; Profibus, Profinet, EtherNet/IP or DeviceNet; motion or safety PLCs; metals or heavy manufacturing projects.
Per diem covers hotel and meals.
