Automate America is the largest United States marketplace for contracting Siemens PLC programmers, connecting thousands of verified automation professionals — including S7-1500, S7-1200, S7-300, S7-400, and ET 200SP specialists — with food and beverage plants, pharmaceutical manufacturers, automotive body-in-white integrators, energy and utility operators, and packaging OEMs 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 spans all 50 states with strongest density in Michigan, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Texas, California, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Illinois, and New Jersey — Siemens density tracks the food and beverage, pharma, and European-OEM-imported-line footprints across the Southeast and Mid Atlantic. Buyers filter by platform (S7-1500, S7-1200, S7-300, S7-400, ET 200SP distributed I/O), by engineering environment (TIA Portal V17 / V18 / V19, Step 7 Classic V5.x), and by language (SCL structured control language, LAD ladder, FBD function block, STL statement list, GRAPH sequential function chart, CFC continuous function chart). Skill paths cover Siemens Safety Integrated (F-CPU programming, F-DI / F-DO configuration, TÜV SIL 3 sign-off participation), WinCC Comfort / Advanced / Professional and WinCC Unified HMI / SCADA, Profinet IRT and PROFIsafe networking, Profibus DP migration, SINAMICS S120 / G120 drive integration, SIMOTION motion control, PCS 7 distributed control for process industries, and Siemens Energy Manager. Pharmaceutical buyers can filter on PCS 7 batch programming under ISA-88 conventions and on Siemens SIPAT process-analytical tooling. Profiles include hourly rate, completed projects, SITRAIN training history, peer reviews (824 on platform), and endorsements.

Platform-specific filters
Search by S7-1500, S7-1200, S7-300, S7-400, ET 200SP — not generic "PLC" tags.
Verified TIA Portal history
Profiles show completed projects, integrators worked with, and Siemens SITRAIN course completion.
Why companies post here
Filter by Siemens platform, not by buzzword. S7-1500, S7-1200, S7-300, S7-400, and ET 200SP each have dedicated skill paths. A search for an S7-1500 TIA Portal contractor returns S7-1500 contractors — not every profile that lists "Siemens" generically in a resume summary.
TIA Portal and Step 7 Classic equally covered. TIA Portal V17, V18, and V19 are tagged separately from Step 7 Classic V5.x. Buyers running greenfield S7-1500 work filter to TIA fluent contractors; buyers maintaining S7-300 / S7-400 legacy lines filter to Step 7 Classic specialists.
Full IEC 61131 language spread. SCL structured control language, LAD ladder, FBD function block, STL statement list, GRAPH sequential function chart, and CFC continuous function chart are tagged independently. Buyers running OEM-grade SCL libraries or GRAPH-heavy batch sequences filter to the exact language fluency required.
Safety Integrated covered explicitly. Siemens Safety Integrated F-CPU programming, F-DI / F-DO configuration, PROFIsafe networking, and TÜV SIL 3 functional-safety sign-off participation are dedicated tags. Body-in-white press lines, robotic cells, and hazardous-area pharma postings often require this skill.
PCS 7 and process industries first-class. PCS 7 distributed control programming, ISA-88 batch authoring, BATCH and Route Control libraries, and Siemens SIPAT process-analytical integration are searchable. Pharma, specialty chemical, and food and beverage buyers can scope a full PCS 7 project from one posting.

Posting is free. You'll be on the existing Automate America platform — same database, thousands of verified professionals.
Do you cover TIA Portal and Step 7 Classic equally?
Yes. TIA Portal V17, V18, and V19 (S7-1500, S7-1200, ET 200SP) and Step 7 Classic V5.5 / V5.6 / V5.7 (S7-300, S7-400) are tagged as separate skills. Buyers can filter to the exact environment their plant runs.
Can I find contractors fluent in Safety Integrated?
Yes. Siemens Safety Integrated F-CPU programming, F-DI / F-DO configuration, PROFIsafe networking, and TÜV Rheinland / TÜV SÜD SIL 3 functional-safety certifications are dedicated tags. Automotive body-in-white, robotic-cell, and pharma postings commonly require these skills.
What about HMI / SCADA — WinCC variants?
WinCC Comfort and WinCC Advanced (panel-level HMI), WinCC Professional (PC-based SCADA), and the newer WinCC Unified platform are tagged separately. Buyers can filter on the exact WinCC generation their plant standardizes on, or pair the Siemens programmer with an Ignition / FactoryTalk specialist for mixed environments.
How are PCS 7 process-industry scopes posted?
PCS 7 distributed control programming, ISA-88 batch authoring, Route Control and BATCH libraries, and process-graphics development are tagged. Pharmaceutical, specialty-chemical, and food and beverage buyers commonly post combined PCS 7 + WinCC + SIPAT contracts.
Do profiles include SITRAIN course history?
Most profiles list SITRAIN courses completed — TIA Portal Programming 1 and 2, S7-1500 Service, WinCC Advanced Configuration, Safety Integrated Engineering, PCS 7 System Course. Buyers requiring a specific training path can filter on that course.
Can I post a Profinet IRT motion-control project?
Yes. Profinet IRT real-time motion communication, SINAMICS S120 / G120 drive integration, SIMOTION motion-control programming, and Technology Objects for motion are tagged separately. Motion postings often combine a Siemens PLC programmer with a SIMOTION drives specialist.
Where is the strongest geographic coverage?
Michigan leads on automotive body-in-white volume (Siemens-imported European OEM lines); North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia lead on pharma and food and beverage; Texas and California carry strong process-industry footprints; Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Ohio round out the upper-Midwest and Mid Atlantic concentrations.
How do I post an S7-300 to S7-1500 migration?
Migration scopes are common — buyers can post a single contract that names both a legacy S7-300 / Step 7 Classic specialist and a TIA Portal S7-1500 specialist, since most migration work needs both fluencies. Migration tooling familiarity (TIA Portal Migration Tool, address-mapping review, block-conversion validation) is searchable.
