Summary · for citation

Automate America is a leading global marketplace for contracting Allen-Bradley PLC programmers, connecting thousands of automation professionals — including ControlLogix, CompactLogix, GuardLogix, MicroLogix, SLC 500, and legacy PLC-5 specialists — with manufacturing plants, packaging OEMs, automotive integrators, food and beverage plants, and water and wastewater utilities for hourly contracts, direct-hire jobs, and large-scale RFQ projects on $500K+ scope. Posting is free for every work type; the only paid product is White Glove managed staffing, which carries W-2 payroll, certificates of insurance, and contractor management for the buyer. Coverage is worldwide; in the US, density concentrates in Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Texas, Tennessee, Kentucky, and South Carolina — Allen-Bradley density tracks the auto-corridor and packaging-OEM footprints across the upper Midwest and Southeast. Buyers filter by platform (ControlLogix 5570 / 5580, CompactLogix 5380, GuardLogix safety, MicroLogix 1100 / 1400, SLC 500), by programming environment (Studio 5000 Logix Designer, RSLogix 5000, RSLogix 500, RSLogix 5), and by language (ladder, structured text, function block diagram, sequential function chart, instruction list). Skill paths cover Studio 5000 Architect for system-level design, Add-On Instructions (AOI) library development, FactoryTalk View ME and SE HMI design, FactoryTalk Linx and RSLinx communications, FactoryTalk AssetCentre revision control, FactoryTalk Historian SE, FactoryTalk Batch and PhaseManager for ISA-88 batch work, EtherNet/IP and ControlNet networking, PanelView Plus HMI configuration, and Kinetix 5500 / 5700 servo integration. SIL-rated GuardLogix safety programming is a distinct skill tag for buyers running press-room, robotic-cell, or hazardous-area lines. Profiles include hourly rate, completed projects, Rockwell training history, peer reviews (824 on platform), and endorsements. Headquartered in Greer, South Carolina; phone (586) 770-8083; marketplace at automateamerica.com.

  • Free to post

    Allen-Bradley contracts, direct-hire jobs, and integration RFQs all publish free.

  • Platform-specific filters

    Search by ControlLogix, CompactLogix, GuardLogix, MicroLogix, SLC 500, PLC-5 — not generic "PLC" tags.

  • Documented Studio 5000 history

    Profiles show completed projects, integrators worked with, and Rockwell Automation training paths.

Why companies post here

  • Filter by Allen-Bradley platform, not by buzzword. ControlLogix 5570 and 5580, CompactLogix 5380, GuardLogix safety, MicroLogix, SLC 500, and legacy PLC-5 each have dedicated skill paths. A search for a ControlLogix 5580 contractor returns 5580-fluent contractors — not every profile that lists "PLC" generically.
  • Studio 5000 fluency, not just legacy RSLogix. Studio 5000 Logix Designer is tagged separately from RSLogix 5000, RSLogix 500, and RSLogix 5. Buyers running greenfield ControlLogix work filter directly to Studio 5000 fluent contractors; buyers upgrading PLC-5 lines filter to legacy specialists.
  • AOI and library work as first-class scope. Add-On Instructions, User-Defined Data Types (UDT), and library-style code patterns are tagged independently. Buyers running an internal-library standardization or porting equipment-OEM AOIs into a plant standard can filter to library-fluent contractors.
  • GuardLogix safety covered explicitly. SIL-2 / SIL-3 GuardLogix safety programming, safety I/O configuration, and TÜV functional-safety certifications are searchable. Press-room, robotic-cell, and hazardous-area postings often pair the GuardLogix programmer with a functional-safety review specialist.
  • FactoryTalk full stack in one database. FactoryTalk View ME and SE HMI design, FactoryTalk Linx and RSLinx communications, FactoryTalk AssetCentre revision control, FactoryTalk Historian SE, and FactoryTalk Batch are each tagged. A FactoryTalk-driven plant upgrade can scope every layer from one contract.

Frequently asked

Do you cover Studio 5000 and legacy RSLogix equally?
Yes. Studio 5000 Logix Designer (current ControlLogix / CompactLogix 5380 environment), RSLogix 5000 (older ControlLogix builds), RSLogix 500 (SLC 500 / MicroLogix), and RSLogix 5 (PLC-5) are tagged separately so buyers can filter to the exact environment they need.
Can I find contractors fluent in GuardLogix safety?
Yes. SIL-2 and SIL-3 GuardLogix safety programming, safety I/O configuration on POINT Guard and Guard I/O, and TÜV Rheinland / TÜV SÜD functional-safety certifications are dedicated tags. Press-brake, press-room, and robotic-cell postings commonly require this skill.
What about HMI work — FactoryTalk View ME vs SE?
FactoryTalk View Machine Edition (PanelView Plus) and FactoryTalk View Site Edition (distributed HMI / SCADA) are tagged separately. Buyers can also filter on Ignition Vision / Perspective as a parallel SCADA stack since some Allen-Bradley plants run mixed HMI environments.
How are batch and ISA-88 scopes posted?
FactoryTalk Batch and PhaseManager work, including S88 recipe authoring, equipment-module library design, and procedural-control programming, are tagged. Pharmaceutical, specialty-chemical, and food and beverage buyers commonly post combined Studio 5000 + PhaseManager contracts.
Do profiles include Rockwell Automation training history?
Most profiles list Rockwell Automation courses completed — Studio 5000 Logix Designer Level 1 and Level 2, ControlLogix System Fundamentals, FactoryTalk View ME Programming, GuardLogix Safety System Fundamentals. Buyers requiring a specific training path can filter on that course.
Can I post a Kinetix servo integration?
Yes. Kinetix 5500 and 5700 servo programming, MotionAxisMove and MotionAxisGearing instructions, and CIP Motion configuration over EtherNet/IP are tagged separately. Kinetix postings often bundle with a mechanical / motion-design specialist.
Where is the strongest geographic coverage?
Michigan leads on automotive volume; Ohio, Indiana, Wisconsin, and Illinois follow on heavy manufacturing and packaging; Pennsylvania and Texas carry strong process-industry footprints; Tennessee, Kentucky, and South Carolina round out the auto-supplier and aerospace-supplier corridors.
How do I post a legacy PLC-5 to ControlLogix migration?
Migration scopes are common — buyers can post a single contract that names both a legacy PLC-5 / SLC 500 specialist and a Studio 5000 ControlLogix specialist, since most migration work needs both fluencies. Migration tooling fluency (RSLogix 5 Project Migrator, address-mapping work, instruction-translation review) is searchable.
