Original job description

Location: Toronto, Ontario, Canada (On-site)

Reports to: Electrical Engineering Manager

Compensation: $115,000+ CAD, DOE

Our client is a vertically integrated designer and manufacturer of large-scale, custom industrial equipment for the heavy manufacturing sector, handling everything from mechanical and electrical engineering to PLC programming and assembly in-house. They're looking for a Senior Automation Engineer to join a growing electrical engineering team as they invest further in their controls capabilities.

Your Role:

Every project here is custom, there's no off-the-shelf system to plug in and go. As Senior Automation Engineer, you'll write PLC programs from scratch for large, one-of-a-kind machines, then see them through testing and on-site commissioning, acting as the team's go-to controls expert on projects that will genuinely challenge you.

What You'll Do:

Program and debug PLC logic (ladder logic and structured text) on Allen-Bradley platforms for custom equipment builds
Write structured, well-documented, reusable code, largely from scratch given the custom nature of each project
Configure and start up motion control systems, including servo drives and VFD motors
Test and commission machines prior to shipment, and troubleshoot electrical/mechanical issues during testing and installation
Travel occasionally (roughly 10% or less) for on-site commissioning and customer training
Maintain accurate testing records, specifications, and design documentation
Act as a liaison between mechanical engineering, testing, and the electrical design team
Provide informal mentorship to junior and mid-level engineers

What You'll Bring:

5+ years of hands-on PLC programming / controls engineering experience
Strong experience with Allen-Bradley PLC platforms (RSLogix 5000/500); HMI programming a plus
Proven ability to write controls code from scratch for custom equipment, not just modify or maintain existing programs
Experience with motion control systems: servo drives, VFD motors, and device networking
Ability to read and interpret electrical schematics; comfortable using AutoCAD Electrical to update drawings
Engineering degree, technical diploma, or equivalent hands-on experience in electrical/controls
Must be legally authorized to work in Canada (Canadian citizen, permanent resident, or equivalent) without the need for employer-sponsored work permit support

Why Join?

This is a rare chance to do genuinely from-scratch controls engineering, not templated logic inherited from someone else, on equipment builds that are one-of-a-kind every time. The company is investing heavily in its controls and automation capabilities as it grows, giving you real visibility and room to shape how the team's technical practices evolve. You'll also mentor other engineers along the way, building your leadership profile alongside your technical one.
