As anAutomation Engineering Apprentice (AEA) youll learn to support maintain and improve automated systems within a complex fulfillment or distribution center. Through a structured combination of classroom instruction hands-on lab training and on-the-job learning youll gain the foundational skills needed to become an Automation Engineer.

Apprentices are paired with mentors to carry out their assigned work at various facilities. They will complete a 12 week Related Technical Instruction with a partner college followed by 3500 hours of On The Job Learning. Youll train alongside experienced Automation Engineers Technicians and OEM partners to develop your understanding of Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs) Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs) Motor Controls Sensor Logic Systems Electrical System Installation Industrial network Communications and robotics while working safely and collaboratively in a fast-paced environment.

Work performed

As anAutomation Engineering Apprentice you will:

• Learn and apply safety standards including Lockout/Tagout (LOTO) PPE arc-flash awareness and safe work practices.

• Shadow and assist Automation Engineers in troubleshooting maintaining and repairing control systems PLCs VFDs sensors scanners HMIs and industrial networks.

• Support daily automation operations by responding to faults documenting issues and learning to perform root-cause analysis.

• Participate in preventive and predictive maintenance activities for material handling equipment and control panels.

• Work with system documentation schematics and software tools to identify and correct equipment issues.

• Learn to interpret and modify PLC programs under the supervision of trained engineers.

• Assist in system performance tracking data analysis and minor control upgrades.

• Develop technical communication skills through collaboration with engineers technicians and operations teams.

• Complete structured training through programs such as Amatrol Automation Fundamentals Automation Essentials and relevant JLL learning modules.

As your skills progress youll gradually take on more responsibilitytransitioning from shadowing to performing supervised tasks and contributing to improvement projects.
