the field varies quite a bit and electricians skilled in automation are an asset.
highly skilled programmers in ladder logic are usually sought afterbut i would say that having the patience to deal with these is a blessing

yapping chihuahuas refers to the term of annoying production bosses always on your a$$ every 2 minutes asking when you will be done.
or bugging you to work on chit with things running (worried about their bonuses)
really annoying when working in a potentially serious arc flash zone

we have to put up barriers around panels now and any unauthorized person stepping in the barrier is fined by the safety observer!
of course i would also prefer a warning sign stating that any unauthorized person stepping inside the barrier has just given up permission to kick their a$$ up over their shoulders:laughing:
that would be a lot more fun IMHO.:bangin:

In central and southeastern Michigan we can't get enough automation people. The automotive industry is exploding in growth again. It all depends if you like working 10-12hrs, 362 days a year. My department is still looking for at least 4-5 more positions. I couldn't recommend working here though. Inexperienced management is having some problems with the pace of growth.
Ah that was a problem here too, but they took care of it when they had cuts.
I hope one day I can move somewhere warm with the experience I will have haha

I am doing the same part time when this guy gets jobs. The work is good but the hours are grueling ! Always around production, so we end up working a lot of Saturdays, and Sundays with 10 - 12 hr days !!

Most modern equipment has a grace port.
For you kids with all your Allen Bradley and Siemans new fangled stuff, thats to be expected.
Try to find one of those hooked to a Reliance, a Borgbeck,or DMP, based machine. Just watch out for the exposed buss bars while you are searching. :laughing:

Yes, we used to use those, but now we connect wirelessly and usually getting out the computer is my last step in troubleshooting as I can often find the problem quicker than the time it takes to boot up the computer and get online.

A couple of the facilities around here are starting to go AWAY from wireless- claiming it is a security risk.
I think if they paid the IT guys enough so it is not a revolving-door job, they would not have to worry so much or change P-words every other week.
