Job Description

Field Service Technician / Automation Specialist

Represented by PeopleSolutions Inc.

PeopleSolutions Inc. is recruiting for a Field Service Technician / Automation Specialist to support a well-established and growing manufacturer of advanced packaging automation equipment, including case packing, shrink wrapping, robotics, and integrated production systems.

This is an excellent opportunity to join a respected automation company that offers the strength and stability of a larger organization, combined with the hands-on culture of a smaller, fast-paced technical team. You will work with innovative equipment, support leading customers, and be part of a company that values technical talent, problem-solving, professional growth, and long-term career development.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

  • Work with advanced automation, robotics, and packaging equipment
  • Join a stable, growing organization with strong market presence
  • Be part of a team-oriented culture where your technical skills are valued
  • Enjoy the resources of a larger company with the personal feel of a smaller team
  • Build a long-term career with opportunities for growth and advancement
  • Make a direct impact by helping customers improve equipment performance and production efficiency

Compensation and Benefits

  • Base Hourly Range: $27.00 – $45.00 per hour

What You Will Do

  • Install, start up, troubleshoot, and service automated packaging equipment at customer sites
  • Assist and train customer personnel on machine operation, setup, and performance
  • Support final machine checkout prior to shipment
  • Troubleshoot mechanical, electrical, PLC, HMI, and robotic system issues
  • Work with Rockwell PLCs and HMIs, including program navigation and basic edits
  • Support equipment involving case packers, shrink wrappers, and robotic systems
  • Communicate field updates and machine changes to engineering and service teams
  • Represent the company professionally while working directly with customers

What We Are Looking For

  • Strong mechanical and electrical troubleshooting skills
  • Experience with automated machinery, packaging equipment, industrial equipment, or manufacturing systems
  • Ability to work online with Rockwell PLCs and HMIs
  • PLC and HMI troubleshooting or editing experience
  • Fanuc robot experience or certification strongly preferred
  • 2–4 years of field service, maintenance, automation, or related technical experience preferred
  • Professional communication skills and a strong customer-service mindset
  • Ability to work independently and as part of a team

This opportunity offers competitive pay, strong benefits, career growth, and the chance to join a company where people are proud to build a career.

Benefits may include:

  • Medical, dental, and vision coverage
  • First-day benefits eligibility
  • Life and disability insurance
  • Paid time off
  • Retirement savings plan with company match
  • Wellness program
  • Potential incentive opportunities
