PLC Programmer & Designer

This is a strong opportunity for a controls professional who wants full ownership rather than a narrow slice of the work. You take an automated cell from electrical schematic through PLC and HMI programming, testing, and commissioning, so you see your designs run on the floor start to finish. The company builds custom assembly, inspection, and welding systems across automotive, medical, and food manufacturing, so the projects stay varied and technically interesting. It's a tight-knit, hands-on team with competitive hourly pay, overtime, and real room to grow with a company that keeps a steady pipeline of future work.

If your experience aligns strongly with what we are looking for, we encourage you to apply. This team is growing, so we also welcome interest from both intermediate to senior applicants. Open to hearing compensation expectations.

Our immediate outreach will be focused on those whose experience most closely matches the current needs of the role.
