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. /ph3The Assignment /h3pKey responsibilities will include: /pulliInvestigating production and automation issues /liliTroubleshooting Omron PLC‑controlled machinery and production equipment /liliAnalysing existing PLC logic to identify software and control‑related problems /liliPinpointing the root causes of recurring production faults and downtime /liliDetermining whether issues originate from PLC software, electrical systems, instrumentation, field devices, communications or machinery /liliIdentifying bottlenecks,
intermittent faults and equipment reliability issues /liliUsing PLC diagnostics to trace faults through automated sequences /liliRecommending corrective actions and potential improvements /liliProducing clear action lists outlining identified problems, priorities and recommended solutions /liliSupporting implementation and testing of corrective actions where requiredWorking alongside maintenance, engineering and production personnel /liliDocumenting technical findings, modifications and recommendations /li /ulh3Shift Pattern /h3pThe assignment will operate across a three‑shift rotation: /pulliMorning: 06:00–15:00 /liliAfternoon: 14:00–22:00 /liliNight: 21:00–06:00 /li /ulpCandidates must be comfortable working a rotating shift pattern for the duration of the assignment. /ph3Technical Background /h3pDirect experience with Siemens Tia Portal automation systems is strongly preferred, ideally including: /pulliSiemens Tia Portal Omron PLC programming and troubleshooting /liliSysmac Studio and/or CX-Programmer PLC fault finding and online diagnostics /liliLadder Logic and/or Structured Text /liliHMI troubleshooting /liliIndustrial networks and communications /liliServo systems, drives and motion control /liliSensors,
