Job Description
About Kent Moore Cabinets For over fifty years, Kent Moore Cabinets has built custom cabinetry the way it was always meant to be built - by hand, with patience, and without shortcuts. Behind every finished piece that leaves our design centers is a production team that keeps the shop floor running, and we're looking for a Controls Engineer who takes the same pride in keeping our machinery running that our craftsmen take in their woodwork.
The Role We're hiring a Controls Engineer to maintain the automation and control systems across our production facility and to find real, lasting solutions when equipment issues threaten the line. This isn't a role that only reacts to breakdowns - we want someone who digs into recurring problems, improves how our machinery performs, and helps our production team run at its best day after day.
What You'll Do - Maintain, troubleshoot, and repair PLC-controlled production machinery and control systems across the facility.
- Diagnose root causes of recurring downtime and equipment issues - not just patch symptoms.
- Design and implement production solutions: process improvements, control logic changes, and equipment modifications that increase uptime and throughput.
- Read and update electrical schematics, wiring diagrams, and control panel documentation.
- Program, modify, and optimize PLC logic (Allen-Bradley/Rockwell preferred) and associated HMI/SCADA interfaces.
- Partner with production and maintenance teams to prioritize repairs and improvement projects.
- Support installation and commissioning of new equipment as the facility grows.
- Maintain accurate records of control system changes, preventive maintenance, and project documentation.
What We're Looking For - 3+ years of hands-on experience maintaining and troubleshooting industrial control systems in a production or manufacturing environment.
- Working knowledge of PLC programming and ladder logic (Allen-Bradley/Rockwell preferred; Siemens a plus).
- Ability to read electrical schematics and diagnose issues down to the component level.
- Experience with HMI and/or SCADA systems.
- Strong root-cause problem-solving skills - comfortable owning an issue until it's actually fixed.
- Associate's or Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Controls, Mechatronics, or equivalent hands-on experience.
- Comfortable working on the shop floor alongside production and maintenance teams.
Compensation & Benefits Base salary: $90,000-$140,000, commensurate with experience. - Medical, dental, and vision coverage
- 401(k) with company match
- Paid time off and holidays
- Employee discount on Kent Moore Cabinets products
How to Apply - Please upload your resume and a brief cover letter at our Paycom Careers website with the subject line "Controls Engineer - [Your Name]."
