Own the Automation. Solve the Problems. Drive Reliability.
We're partnering confidentially with a global manufacturer seeking an experienced Automation Technician to support a highly automated, continuous manufacturing operation in London, Ontario.
This is not a reactive maintenance position.
We're looking for someone who can independently diagnose automation issues, modify PLC programs, support commissioning activities, and lead root cause investigations with minimal supervision. If you're the person everyone calls when production goes down, this is the opportunity you've been looking for.
You'll play a critical role in maximizing equipment reliability, improving automation systems, and supporting a world-class manufacturing operation where safety, quality, and uptime are everything.
Why Join?
Join a growing global manufacturer investing heavily in automation
Newly created role supporting plant expansion and operational growth
Modern, highly automated manufacturing environment
Competitive hourly compensation with scheduled wage increase
Shift premiums where applicable
Company retirement savings program
Comprehensive health and wellness benefits
Professional development and technical training
Stable, long-term career opportunity with advancement potential
What You'll Be Doing
Automation & Controls
Independently troubleshoot PLC, HMI, VFD, servo, and industrial control systems
Modify PLC programs and support automation system improvements
Diagnose electrical and control system faults across automated production equipment
Troubleshoot instrumentation including temperature, pressure, flow, level, pH, and conductivity devices
Support industrial communication networks and control architecture
Commissioning & Equipment Reliability
Support equipment installation, commissioning, and production start-ups
Validate automation systems following equipment modifications
Optimize machine performance and improve production reliability
Reduce downtime through proactive troubleshooting and technical improvements
Root Cause Analysis & Continuous Improvement
Lead technical troubleshooting using structured root cause analysis
Identify recurring equipment failures and implement permanent corrective actions
Recommend automation upgrades that improve safety, quality, and production efficiency
Partner with Engineering, Production, Maintenance, and Quality on continuous improvement initiatives
Safety & Compliance
Perform all work in accordance with electrical safety standards and plant procedures
Maintain detailed documentation of troubleshooting activities, PLC modifications, and corrective actions
Participate in preventive maintenance, audits, and equipment reliability initiatives
Support a culture focused on safety, operational excellence, and continuous improvement
What We're Looking For
Required
Diploma or certification in Automation, Electrical Engineering Technology, Instrumentation, Mechatronics, or a related technical discipline
Minimum 3 years of hands-on industrial automation experience in a continuous manufacturing environment
Proven experience independently programming, modifying, and troubleshooting PLC-controlled automation systems
Strong troubleshooting experience with HMIs, VFDs, servo systems, instrumentation, and industrial controls
Experience supporting equipment commissioning, start-ups, and automation improvements
Demonstrated ability to perform advanced root cause analysis and resolve complex equipment issues with minimal supervision
Ability to read electrical schematics, control drawings, and P&IDs
Strong documentation, communication, and organizational skills
Preferred
Siemens SIMATIC PCS 7
Omron Sysmac
Siemens TIA Portal

Continuous process manufacturing
Medical Device
Pharmaceutical
Food & Beverage

Lean Manufacturing and Continuous Improvement experience
Who Will Thrive Here?
You'll succeed if you:
Enjoy solving difficult automation problems
Take ownership instead of waiting for direction
Think systematically and focus on identifying root causes—not just replacing parts
Thrive in fast-paced manufacturing environments where uptime matters
Enjoy collaborating with Engineering while remaining technically independent
Take pride in improving automation systems and equipment performance
