Join the overnight crew that keeps automation moving

Picture your shift: the lights are low, the system hums, and a sensor alert pings. You trace the fault across an Automated Storage and Retrieval System, swap a fieldbus node, realign a photo-eye, reload PLC parameters, and watch product flow resume. That’s a night well spent as our Automation Technician III.

What you’ll do each night

• Own the health of our Automated Storage and Retrieval System (AS/RS)—from systems to subsystems—driving rapid recovery to service by performing deep-dive troubleshooting on electrical, mechanical, and controls issues and communicating repair status and timelines to leadership.
• Diagnose and replace fieldbus communication components on conveyor systems, including addressing devices and running network diagnostics.
• Perform mechanical service on conveyors: fix chains and belting, change rollers and drive motors, and realign or replace control system sensors (photo-eyes), proximity sensors, and related devices.
• Load/restore software parameters for Allen‑Bradley PLC product lines; service industrial PCs and server-based controls; reprogram and align electronic sensors as needed.
• Execute Preventive Maintenance (PM), troubleshooting, calibration, and adjustments on multi‑axis robotic arms and End‑of‑Arm Tools; complete PM routines on automated conveyor equipment.
• Document all work—repairs, PMs, parts used, and labor time—via work orders in our CMMS (Maximo). Keep work areas clean and remove replaced parts after repairs.
• Mentor and assist other automation technicians, sharing troubleshooting methods and repair best practices.
