Manufacturer of salt created for culinary and industrial applications.

Instrumentation and control technicians are responsible for installing, maintaining, and troubleshooting industrial controls equipment. They commonly work with large machinery that requires precise controls to operate properly—everything from natural gas dryers and conveyors to robot aided palletizers and automated packaging equipment.

Instrumentation and control technicians must be able to read schematics and diagrams in order to install new equipment or troubleshoot existing systems. Program and troubleshoot PLC’s & HMI’s, Fanuc robots, network and non-network connected motor controls, and site security systems. They also need to have a solid understanding of electrical engineering principles so they can troubleshoot problems when they arise.

Communication skills: Instrumentation and control technicians communicate with other technicians, engineers and other professionals to discuss and interpret data and information. They also communicate with clients to explain the purpose of the equipment and the results of the data. Effective communication skills can help instrumentation and control technicians to collaborate with others to solve problems and develop solutions.

Technical knowledge: Instrumentation and control technicians need to have a strong understanding of electrical and mechanical systems to be successful in the role. They need to know how to read and interpret electrical and mechanical schematics, diagrams and blueprints to troubleshoot and repair electrical and mechanical systems. They also need to understand how to use and read various types of monitoring and control equipment to ensure the systems are working properly.

Problem-solving skills: Problem-solving skills are necessary for instrumentation and control technicians because they often need to identify and resolve issues with the equipment they service. These professionals may also need to troubleshoot issues with the software that controls the equipment.

Attention to detail: Instrumentation and control technicians must have excellent attention to detail to ensure they are installing equipment correctly. They must also have attention to detail when testing and troubleshooting equipment to ensure they are identifying the source of any issues. Attention to detail is also important when recording data and documenting procedures.

Teamwork skills: Instrumentation and control technicians often work in teams with other technicians and engineers. This is because many of the tasks they perform require multiple people to complete. For example, installing a new electrical system may require several technicians to lift heavy equipment and move it to the correct location.

Education: Minimum of an Associates Degree, or Certification in Automation or Journeyman Electrician with significant controls experience in a Manufacturing Environment. Prefer a BS Degree in Instrumentation and Controls with Manufacturing and Robotic experience.
