Verify communications between PLCs, HMIs, BMS, and EPMS systems

Maintain system documentation and ensure changes follow MOC (Management of Change) procedures

Participate in incident response for uptime-critical systems

Required Qualifications

Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Mechatronics, or related engineering discipline

3+ years of experience working with Allen-Bradley PLC systems

Hands-on experience navigating and troubleshooting in Studio 5000
