Melben is recruiting a PLC Instructor for a direct-hire role in Archbold, Ohio. This is a single opening paid at a set rate of $80 per hour, with the employer on the payroll. The role is part-time, about 8 hours per week, and the employer is flexible on the start date.

The work is teaching adult maintenance technicians on programmable logic controllers, covering Allen-Bradley and Rockwell Logix control platforms. The course runs in levels 1 through 3, with the instructor on site one day a week on Fridays, about 7:00 AM to 3:00 PM, for six Fridays per level. The students are early-career technicians, so the job suits someone who can explain controls work clearly and patiently.

We want candidates who have spent years on the floor as skilled tradespeople, with journeyman-level skills, and who have run PLCs in real production. Dated hands-on experience as a PLC Instructor is required, and a job with another title that did the same work counts. Melben is an agency placing skilled trades in manufacturing.

Responsibilities

Teach PLC fundamentals to adult maintenance technicians
Deliver Logix level 1, 2 and 3 course content
Run hands-on lab work on Allen-Bradley Logix controls
Explain PLC programming and troubleshooting in plain terms
Keep students on schedule across six Fridays per level

Requirements

10 or more years of experience
Dated hands-on work as a PLC Instructor, or the same work under another title
Hands-on PLC work on Allen-Bradley/Rockwell Logix controls in production
Comfortable teaching early-career maintenance technicians

Certifications

Previous teaching or training experience a plus
Journeyman-level electrical or maintenance credentials a plus

Benefits

Direct-hire position on the employer's payroll
Set hourly rate of $80
Flexible start date

Direct hire means you go on the employer's payroll from day one. Melben is the recruiter, not the employer, and our fee is paid by the company. We verify your certifications with documented proof before we submit you, so the employer does not have to question them in the interview.
