The Opportunity
We are looking for PLC / Automation Engineers for an industrial automation troubleshooting project in Italy.
This is a hands-on assignment focused on investigating and resolving production and automation-related issues on equipment controlled by Omron PLC systems.
The successful engineers will be responsible for troubleshooting production equipment, identifying root causes of recurring faults and downtime, and presenting clear recommendations and corrective actions to improve production reliability.
This is not primarily a PLC development role. The emphasis is on diagnostics, fault finding, root-cause analysis and problem solving within a live production environment.
The initial contract is expected to run for 3–6 months, with engineers working fully onsite as part of a rotating three-shift schedule.
The Assignment
Key responsibilities will include:
- Investigating production and automation issues
- Troubleshooting Omron PLC-controlled machinery and production equipment
- Analysing existing PLC logic to identify software and control-related problems
- Pinpointing the root causes of recurring production faults and downtime
- Determining whether issues originate from PLC software, electrical systems, instrumentation, field devices, communications or machinery
- Identifying bottlenecks, intermittent faults and equipment reliability issues
- Using PLC diagnostics to trace faults through automated sequences
- Recommending corrective actions and potential improvements
- Producing clear action lists outlining identified problems, priorities and recommended solutions
- Supporting implementation and testing of corrective actions where required
- Working alongside maintenance, engineering and production personnel
