A self-starter who takes initiative
Strong fault-finding and problem-solving ability
Experience with Allen Bradley and Siemens PLCs
Electrical background with controls experience

An Electrical Engineer ready to step up into a more controls-led position
An experienced Controls Engineer looking to broaden their skill set and develop further
