Under the supervision of the Industrial Maintenance & Facilities Manager, the Automation Integrator will play a key role in the design, programming, and support of automated systems throughout the cheese production process—from milk intake and curd handling to pasteurization, aging, and packaging. Your expertise in controls and integration will directly contribute to product quality, food safety compliance, and operational uptime in a dairy workplace.
YOUR CHALLENGES: Develop, modify, and troubleshoot PLC/HMI/SCADA-based control systems for cheese processing equipment (e.g., pasteurizers, curd cutters, vats, presses, brining tanks, and packaging lines).
Implement automation solutions for Clean-in-Place (CIP) systems, batch processing, and temperature/flow control.




Ensure compliance with sanitary design standards specific to the dairy industry, as well as FDA, USDA, and FSMA requirements.
Integrate sensors, valves, variable frequency drives (VFDs), and instrumentation for process control and monitoring.
Collaborate with maintenance, quality assurance, and production teams to resolve issues and implement system improvements.
Conduct I/O checks, Factory Acceptance Tests (FAT), Site Acceptance Tests (SAT), and commission control panels and automated lines.
Maintain detailed documentation, including network diagrams, ladder logic, batch sequences, and validation reports.
