I recently completed a new program in Florida but I want to move. I've discovered Automation companies on the east side of Cleveland. I've also heard about German firms that will send me all over (in the food & bev). I'm intrigued by process control, like chemicals, but not sure what I'd be setting myself up for.
I need a company that will train me more thoroughly in electricity as my prof's skimped on that. (New to teaching.) Could anyone recommend companies that would be interested in offering more training right away? I've seen some intern type programs but I don't know how long that would entail.
I've had a heck of a time getting any feedback online re: specific companies so I've hesitated in applying for anything yet. I know I don't want to do 'reference work' or maintenance. Or assembling parts. I've been told I'd be good at project integration (eventually).
I was top of my class, have new certs, have a Bachelors, very mechanical, background in IT, etc. Interested in PLCs, so far Allen-Bradley vs. Siemens.
Wondering about company culture. Not interested in 12 hour shifts as a rule but could be a road warrior for a while. Would like to eventually work internationally so I'm interested in the big firms and long term.
I can visualize huge possibilities but reddit is the closest I've come to getting any answers really. Would REALLY appreciate some pointers.
Lots of defense over in Melbourne, FL as well as other metros. I've explored some industries but think I'd be missing a great opportunity if I don't go for Automation.
If you were in my shoes, and know now what I might not learn for 5 years, where might you aim? Personally I'm not all about $$, I need balance. I'm most interested in companies that would not burn me out but would invest in lots of training.
Hope that's not too much but I'm in need of a breakthrough and hopefully Control.com is the site I've been panning for.
Thanks for any feedback,
Mac
