  • Provide hands-on troubleshooting and root cause analysis for automation, controls, and electrical issues affecting production equipment such as winding machines, core stacking systems, tank fabrication, drying ovens, impregnation systems, and test equipment.
  • Work directly on the plant floor in a non-union environment to support daily production operations and minimize equipment downtime.
  • Develop, modify, and maintain PLC and HMI programs to support new equipment installations, process improvements, and product or design changes.
  • Support commissioning, testing, and startup of new manufacturing equipment and automation systems.
  • Collaborate with Manufacturing Engineering, Operations, Quality, and Maintenance to improve process capability, safety, and overall equipment effectiveness (OEE).
  • Identify opportunities for automation, standardization, and error-proofing to improve quality and consistency in transformer manufacturing processes.
  • Maintain accurate documentation including electrical schematics, control narratives, PLC/HMI code revisions, and standard operating procedures.
  • Ensure automation systems comply with safety standards, electrical codes, and ERMCO policies.
  • Support continuous improvement initiatives through data collection, analysis, and automation-driven solutions.

  • 3+ years of hands-on experience supporting automation and controls in a manufacturing or industrial environment.
  • Experience programming and troubleshooting PLCs (e.g., Allen-Bradley, Siemens, or similar platforms).
  • Experience with HMIs, industrial communication networks, sensors, VFDs, and basic motion control.
  • Strong troubleshooting skills with the ability to diagnose electrical and controls issues on live production equipment.
  • Ability to read and interpret electrical schematics, ladder logic, and technical documentation.
  • Comfortable working directly on the plant floor in a non-union manufacturing environment.
  • Strong communication skills and the ability to work effectively with operators, technicians, and engineers.

Preferred
  • Experience in transformer manufacturing, electrical equipment manufacturing, or other heavy industrial environments.
  • Familiarity with transformer production processes such as coil winding, core assembly, tank fabrication, drying/curing, oil filling, and electrical testing.
  • Knowledge of industrial safety standards, lockout/tagout, and electrical safety practices.
  • Experience with data collection, scripting, or automation-related tools (e.g., Python, SQL, VBA).
  • Exposure to lean manufacturing or continuous improvement initiatives.
  • Experience interfacing automation systems with ERP or MES platforms.
