    Additional Skills & Qualifications

    The ideal candidate would be someone with a technician or engineering experience who’s ready to move into a less hands-on, leadership-oriented role. They’re looking for someone who’s comfortable turning a wrench and has experience in mechanical, electrical, or automation systems.

     

    In terms of automation, familiarity with Allen-Bradley and Siemens is preferred. The candidate doesn’t need to be an expert, but should have a working knowledge of controls—basic programming in ladder logic and maybe structured text, connecting PLCs to a network, and wire termination would be a plus.
