Role Snapshot Join a large industrial manufacturing operation in Carrollton, GA as an experienced Industrial Controls Troubleshooting Technician. You'll be the person production calls when automated lines stall—hands-on, laptop open, quickly zeroing in on the electrical and PLC root cause, and getting equipment running again. A Day in the Life Your shift kicks off with a call from a production line. You connect to the PLC over Ethernet or the plant's wireless network, review the logic, and pinpoint the fault. With ~80% of the site running on Siemens and the remainder on Allen‑Bradley, you're comfortable navigating both to diagnose issues fast. You might load parameters to a replacement drive or make a small logic tweak to clear a bottleneck. Throughout the day, you partner with the shift supervisor to prioritize breakdowns and open work orders, then independently drive each task to resolution.

Note:

This is not a PLC programming role. You'll work within existing programs for troubleshooting and make only minor logic edits when necessary. The work is 100% electrical/PLC-focused—mechanical technicians handle mechanical maintenance. What You'll Handle Rapid response to electrical and controls-related equipment failures across the facility Direct connection to PLCs using a laptop via Ethernet or wireless Diagnostics on Siemens and Allen‑Bradley PLCs (majority Siemens) Logic review to identify root causes and clear faults Troubleshooting of control circuits Replacement, configuration, and parameter downloads for drives/VFDs Minor logic changes only when needed to restore operation Coordination with the shift supervisor to sequence calls and work orders Independent ownership of assigned assets and corrective actions Close collaboration with maintenance to sustain reliable production What You Bring Background as an Electrical Technician, Controls Technician, or similar industrial maintenance role Experience in an industrial manufacturing environment Hands-on troubleshooting of PLC-controlled machinery Ability to connect to and navigate Siemens and/or Allen‑Bradley platforms Skill reading PLC logic to support fault finding Proficiency in electrical/control circuit troubleshooting Experience with drives/variable frequency drives Confidence working independently on breakdowns Strong diagnostic approach and root-cause mindset
