We’re looking for an experienced PLC Training Instructor with strong Rockwell PLC knowledge to join an automotive manufacturing training team in Lake Orion, MI. This is a 6-month temp-to-direct opportunity with a starting pay of $36–$43.50/hr plus daily per diem and paid travel.


This role is perfect for a Controls Engineer or Automation Technician ready to transition off the plant floor into a rewarding teaching and mentorship position. You’ll use your hands-on background to train apprentices on PLCs, robotics, and automation systems used in automotive production.


Position Highlights:

  • Location: Lake Orion, MI

  • Pay: $36–$43.50/hr + daily per diem + paid hotels when traveling

  • Type: 6-month temp-to-direct

  • Hours: Monday–Friday, 7:00 AM – 3:30 PM (occasional 2nd/3rd shift work)

  • Travel: Up to 80% (mostly local to MI plants)

What You’ll Do:

  • Teach apprentices how to troubleshoot, program, and maintain automation and robotic systems

  • Lead hands-on training at automotive manufacturing sites

  • Develop and refine class materials and technical curriculum

  • Apply your field experience to help the next generation of technicians succeed

What You’ll Need:

  • Rockwell PLC programming and troubleshooting experience

  • Proven background in automation, controls, or system integration

  • Familiarity with Fanuc iR Vision, Kuka, or other robotics systems

  • Valid driver’s license and ability to travel locally (and occasionally to Canada/Mexico)


This is a great opportunity to leverage your technical expertise in a new way — teaching others while still staying close to the technology you know best.
