What production support means on this contract

Production support is the controls work that keeps a running operation running. A program that behaved yesterday faults today, a device is replaced and the logic has to meet it, a change is needed between runs and has to go in without disturbing anything else. The controls engineer on shift is the one who opens the program, finds what changed and puts it right, on site, while the people around the equipment wait for it. This posting asks for exactly that: PLC programming and troubleshooting, on site, in Warren.

Allen-Bradley and Studio 5000

The platform is Allen-Bradley / Rockwell Automation, and the posting marks it mandatory. The software it names is Studio 5000, Rockwell's environment for programming its Logix controllers. If you have gone online with a Logix controller on a running system, traced a fault back through the logic, made the change and watched it hold, this is your kind of work.

The schedule and the money

Afternoon shift, 8 hours a day, 6 days a week, starting immediately and running through December 6, 2026: about six weeks. The base rate is $60 an hour and overtime is $90 an hour, in US dollars. This is a White Glove contract, so Automate America pays you, on Net 15 terms. Expenses are not reimbursed on this contract, so it suits engineers who live within reach of Warren, or who have a place to stay nearby.

What to bring

The posting lists a laptop, a lockout/tagout kit, basic hand tools and basic electrical tools. Pack standard PPE (safety shoes, glasses and ear protection), and expect lockout/tagout to be part of the job on site; in Michigan, workplace safety rules are set by MIOSHA.

Warren, Michigan

Warren sits just north of Detroit in Macomb County, in the middle of the Detroit area's manufacturing. For anyone building controls skills toward work like this, Macomb Community College runs technical programs in the same county.

If you run a service company

If you have an Allen-Bradley controls engineer finishing a job this month, you can apply them to this contract exactly as an independent professional would. They stay on your payroll and on your terms, and their fall stays billable through December.

For companies with controls work of their own

Six weeks of on-site PLC support did not need a new hire; it needed a posting. Any plant, integrator or machine builder can do the same. On Automate America it is free to post, free to apply and free to hire, the customer sets the rate, and nobody bids it down: the rate on the contract is the rate, so you choose the professional who fits the work.

Professionals apply with their profiles, ratings and reviews from finished work, and service companies put their available people forward beside independent professionals. Once it is posted, carrying it to the right people is our part: we write it up and send it out by email, articles like this one and every social channel we run. Choose White Glove and Automate America is the one supplier you set up: we pay the professionals and send you one invoice, and you pay what you choose, no more. If you have controls work coming up, post it free on the marketplace.

What a strong application shows

Name the Allen-Bradley controllers you have programmed and supported, the Studio 5000 work you have done on running systems, and the faults you have found and fixed on shift. If one fault once took you a whole shift to find, say what it turned out to be. Keep your profile current: ratings, reviews and completed contracts are what a customer reads first.
