Frequently Asked Questions
What does an automation technician do?
An automation technician installs, calibrates, troubleshoots, and maintains automated equipment — PLCs, drives, sensors, robots, and conveyors. They read electrical and pneumatic prints, replace failed I/O and field devices, restore machines to production after faults, and perform preventive maintenance so automated lines run reliably.
What is the difference between an automation technician and an automation engineer?
An automation engineer designs and programs the system; an automation technician keeps the physical equipment running. Technicians are hands-on at the machine — wiring, sensor setup, fault diagnosis, and PM — while engineers own the controls architecture and code. Larger projects use both; smaller shops often combine the roles.
How much do automation technician contractors charge?
Automation technicians on the platform typically post $30–$65 per hour. General install-and-maintain work sits near the low end; senior techs who troubleshoot complex PLC/drive/robot faults across multiple platforms reach the upper end. Rate depends on platform breadth and diagnostic depth.
