Manage and maintain plant historians, databases, and automation data structures; produce energy, production, and operational reports using tools such as Wonderware Historian, ICIS, and SEEQ. Develop and maintain technical documentation including PLC programs, HMI programs, electrical ladder diagrams, P&IDs, pin charts, and sequences of operation. Collaborate with IT to integrate plant‑floor data with ERP/MES systems and maintain secure, reliable data pathways. Share technical knowledge by providing training and mentoring to maintenance and engineering personnel and promote controls and network best practices. Support project execution, continuous improvement initiatives, and cross‑functional engineering efforts related to controls and automation. Required Qualifications Minimum 5 years' experience as a Controls/Automation Engineer with a focus on Allen‑Bradley platforms. Proven hands‑on experience with Allen‑Bradley PLCs (ControlLogix, CompactLogix), ladder logic, function block, and tag‑based programming. Advanced experience with PowerFlex drives (setup, tuning, Ethernet/IP communications, troubleshooting). Experience with

HMI/SCADA

platforms such as FactoryTalk View ME/SE, Ignition, or Wonderware. Strong knowledge of Ethernet/IP networks, industrial switches, and network diagnostics (Hirschmann/HiVision preferred). Demonstrated ability to troubleshoot electrical control systems, automation hardware, and industrial communications. Proficiency with Windows OS, virtual machines (VMWare/Hyper‑V), and intermediate familiarity with MSSQL, Microsoft Access, and OPC interfaces. Ability to produce and interpret electrical diagrams, flow diagrams, and P&IDs (AutoCAD and Visio experience preferred). Strong documentation, communication, and training skills; ability to manage multiple technical tasks under time constraints. Preferred Qualifications Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or a related field, or equivalent experience (10+ years relevant experience may substitute). Experience with Wonderware Historian, SEEQ, ICIS Energy Management, or similar reporting and analytics tools. Prior experience integrating plant automation with ERP/MES systems. Familiarity with industrial sensors, servos, safety circuits, instrumentation, and a broad range of automation devices. Benefits and Workplace Comprehensive benefits including medical, dental, and vision coverage; disability insurance; HSA and FSA options. 401(k) with 100% company match up to 5% of eligible pay.
