Industrial PLC control panels — Integrity Staffing Group controls staffing
Integrity Staffing Group places Controls Engineers for manufacturers, machine builders, and automotive suppliers across Metro Detroit.
A Controls Engineer keeps your lines running — programming PLCs, building HMI/SCADA, and integrating equipment — and a bad hire shows up fast in downtime. We screen on real platform capability, not buzzwords, because many of our recruiters have run controls projects themselves.

What a Controls Engineer does on your floor

Controls Engineers design, program, and commission the automation that runs production: PLC logic, HMI/SCADA, drives, and machine integration. We staff them for new builds, line moves, retrofits, and ongoing support — contract, direct, or employee hosting.
Typical responsibilities we hire for
  • ›PLC programming, logic design, and debug
  • ›HMI/SCADA development and commissioning
  • ›Line and machine integration
  • ›Drives, servos, and motion setup
  • ›On-site start-up and support
