Design PLC-controlled winches and hoists through advanced calculations, hydraulic interfaces, and technical drawings for engineered equipment.
As a Controls Designer, you will create specialized designs for heavy-lifting equipment in a manufacturing setting. Your work includes component selection, PLC programming, variable frequency drives, and electro-hydraulic controls. You will support projects from concept through manufacturing, testing, commissioning, and customer training.
Key Responsibilities:
- Calculate requirements for engineered winches and hoists
- Create concept, design, and production drawings
- Program PLCs using Ladder Logic, Function Blocks, and Structural Text
- Interface control systems with closed-loop and open-loop hydraulics
- Witness manufacturing and testing of designed equipment
Requirements:
- Post-secondary education in Engineering
- Previous capital equipment design experience
- Experience selecting and troubleshooting PLC products
- Ability to interpret mechanical, hydraulic, and electrical schematics
- Experience with C programming or Visual Basic is beneficial
Apply engineering principles, PLC programming, and hydraulic controls expertise to design complex heavy-lifting equipment.
