HEL Rimu Ltd is on the hunt for an experienced and self-sufficient PLC Programmer with proven expertise in Siemens (S7) and Omron platforms. We’re looking for someone who can hit the ground running, capable of designing, programming, and commissioning complex control systems across a range of industrial projects. This is not a junior or learning role. You’ll be working on live sites, programming independently, and interfacing directly with clients and project stakeholders to deliver critical automation solutions.

• Advanced programming of Siemens S7/TIA Portal and Omron PLC systems and similar
• End-to-end project involvement from concept to commissioning
• On-site testing, simulation, and fault-finding
• Integration with field equipment, VSDs, BMS, HVAC, and industrial systems
• Development and modification of functional descriptions and I/O maps
• Collaborative work alongside electrical, HVAC, and mechanical teams

What You’ll Bring

• 5+ years PLC programming experience with Siemens S7 / TIA Portal
• Experience with Omron platforms (CX-One / Sysmac Studio)
• Ability to read and work from schematics, control panel layouts, and process documentation
• Strong understanding of electrical control wiring and automation logic
• Confidence working independently under time constraints
• Great communication skills — able to represent HEL Rimu professionally on client sites
• NZ Electrical Registration (preferred but not essential if automation-only background)
