Job description

Location: Huntington, WV area (onsite)

Type: Contract-to-hire · Full time · 1st shift, 7:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., 40 hrs/week plus overtime

A steel producer needs an Industrial Controls Technician who can write PLC programs from a blank page for a large controls project at its plant. If most of your work has been editing existing programs, this one isn't the right fit.

What you'll do

  • Write new PLC programs in Siemens Step 7 / TIA Portal (S7-300/400/1200/1500) using ladder, FBD and structured text

  • Design I/O configurations, data structures and program architecture for new systems

  • Tie HMI/SCADA screens to PLC logic and set up tag databases

  • Commission on site: I/O checkout, loop tuning, testing and debugging

  • Work from P&IDs, schematics and panel layouts with electricians on wiring and sensors, and document everything for handoff

What you bring

  • 3+ years writing PLC programs from scratch; Siemens strongly preferred

  • Equivalent from-scratch work in Allen-Bradley Studio 5000 / RSLogix 5000, Omron, Mitsubishi or Schneider considered

  • Solid grasp of schematics, I/O wiring and control panel layouts

  • Knowledge of NEC/IEC wiring standards and LOTO

  • Comfort working on site with little supervision in a heavy plant

Nice to have: WinCC, FactoryTalk or PanelView HMI work; Profibus, Profinet, EtherNet/IP or DeviceNet; motion or safety PLCs; metals or heavy manufacturing projects.

Per diem covers hotel and meals.
