Responsible for managing and maintaining the equipment which is used to monitor and control order assembly automation systems, machinery and processes. Ensure that these systems and processes operate effectively, efficiently and safely.• Responsible for writing Technical specification documents.• Function as a troubleshooter and provide technical support to Field Operations.• Perform system analysis, improvement, scoping studies, front-end design work, and collaborate on designs with contractors and consultants.• Develop, maintain, and optimize Control Systems implementations including operation & maintenance procedures.• Monitor and identify poor performing instruments impacting control performance. Develop solutions to the poor performance.• Assist Corporate Controls Engineers and develop, test and implement new control schemes.• Assist Corporate Controls Engineers in system upgrades and cutovers.

Responsible for the support of field instrumentation, analytical and monitoring systems. Setup hardware and program Allen Brady PLC’s and HMI’s, setup AC and Servo Drives. Perform all necessary electrical maintenance services to maximize the operation of all production lines, make adjustments and provide preventive maintenance of equipment to improve its operation and reliability, as well as maintenance support to the facility. Responsible for promoting all plant safety, GMP, food safety policies, and procedures. Perform other duties as assigned in support of maintaining the facility and production lines producing safe, quality food.

Developed control specification (control narratives) documentation for client approval. Assessed Process and Instrumentation Diagrams (P&IDs) for control and instrumentation changes and analyzed drafting teams’ drawings. Created low-voltage (up to 480V) electrical control, panel, loop sheets, I/O, and ethernet-based network drawings. Coordinated with team members, instituted programs for Programmable Logic Controllers (PLC), and developed Human-Machine Interface (HMI) for operations. Simulated testing plans and PLC programs, supervised construction of electrical controls at client sites, verified correct installation, and provided technical support. Executed I/O checkout on installed systems, documented checkout results, and determined required goals were achieved in integration. Supported post-commissioning for client’s operations, engineering, and maintenance personnel. Coordinated drive systems and constructed instrumentation devices, including control valves, motors, servos, variable frequency drives, and Stratix switches.Key Accomplishments:• Collaborated with Lead Engineers and various coworkers in the integration of automation in manufacturing plants; furthermore, improved automation results, reduced machine downtime, and increased efficiency.• Reduced troubleshooting and made machines easier to maintain by removing obsolete, expensive parts.• Adjusted schedule and temporary relocated as needed for onsite testing and to successfully complete projects.
