Controls Engineer
for sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. We must not repeat job title as heading. Remove boilerplate, navigation, legal, EEO, etc. Also remove application instructions, job ID, etc.
We need to preserve all substantive information.
Let's parse the posting.
Job Title: Lead Controls Engineer (Contract)
Job Description: This contract Lead Controls Engineer role focuses on driving multiple machine automation projects that involve robotic material handling applications. You will take ownership of controls engineering activities across the full project lifecycle, including controls design, PLC programming, commissioning, and installation support. In this leadership position, you will learn and apply established engineering standards, guide controls efforts, and support a team through machine build, startup, and deployment.
Responsibilities: list bullet points.
Essential Skills: list bullet points.
Additional Skills & Qualifications: list bullet points.
Work Environment: description.
Job Type & Location: This is a Contract position based out of Nunica, MI.
Pay And Benefits: pay range $45.00 - $60.00/hr. Then description of benefits list.
Workplace Type: This is a hybrid position in Nunica,MI.
Application Deadline: This position is anticipated to close on Oct 2, 2026.
About Actalent: description of company, EEO, etc. This is boilerplate; we should remove.
We need sections: About the role (maybe from Job Description?), Responsibilities, Requirements (maybe Essential Skills?), Qualifications (maybe Additional Skills & Qualifications?), Skills (maybe combine?), Benefits, Pay, Schedule.
We need to decide which sections to include based on content.
We have:
- About the role: could be the Job Description paragraph(s). That is substantive.
- Responsibilities: list.
- Requirements: maybe Essential Skills.
- Qualifications: maybe Additional Skills & Qualifications.
- Skills: maybe combine essential and additional? But we can have both Requirements and Qualifications separate.
- Benefits: we have benefits list.
- Pay: we have pay range.
- Schedule: we have Workplace Type (hybrid) maybe schedule? Not explicit schedule like full-time/part-time. The posting says "Contract position". No explicit schedule like hours per week. Could treat Workplace Type as schedule? The instruction: include Schedule section only if posting actually states them. It does not state schedule like "Full-time", "Part-time", "Shift work". It says hybrid position. That's more about workplace type, not schedule. So we may omit Schedule.
We also have Job Type & Location: Contract position based out of Nunica, MI. Could be included in About the role or maybe as a separate section? Not required headings. Could embed in About the role paragraph.
We also have Application Deadline: could be included in About the role or maybe as a note. Not a heading.
We need to avoid boilerplate like About Actalent, EEO, etc.
Thus output HTML with sections:
About the role
... (Job Description paragraph plus maybe location and contract type)
Responsibilities
- ... ...
Requirements
- ... ...
Qualifications
- ... ...
Skills
maybe not needed if we already have Requirements and Qualifications. But we could combine essential and additional into Skills? However instruction: prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. We have four sections already (About, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Benefits, Pay). That's six. Could we merge Requirements and Qualifications into Skills? But they ask to use headings for those categories if content exists. We have content for both Essential Skills and Additional Skills & Qualifications. Could treat them as Requirements and Qualifications respectively. That seems fine. We also need Benefits and Pay sections. Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Benefits, Pay. We must not include Schedule. Now we need to extract content precisely. About the role: combine Job Description paragraph and maybe location/contract type. Job Description paragraph: "This contract Lead Controls Engineer role focuses on driving multiple machine automation projects that involve robotic material handling applications. You will take ownership of controls engineering activities across the full project lifecycle, including controls design, PLC programming, commissioning, and installation support. In this leadership position, you will learn and apply established engineering standards, guide controls efforts, and support a team through machine build, startup, and deployment." Add location/contract: "This is a Contract position based out of Nunica, MI." Could also mention hybrid workplace? That's under Workplace Type. Could add: "The role is hybrid, based in Nunica, MI." We can combine: "This contract Lead Controls Engineer role focuses on driving multiple machine automation projects that involve robotic material handling applications. You will take ownership of controls engineering activities across the full project lifecycle, including controls design, PLC programming, commissioning, and installation support. In this leadership position, you will learn and apply established engineering standards, guide controls efforts, and support a team through machine build, startup, and deployment. This is a Contract position based out of Nunica, MI, with a hybrid workplace." That seems fine. Responsibilities: list bullet points exactly as given. Responsibilities list: - Lead controls engineering efforts on automated machine integration projects from concept through deployment. - Develop detailed electrical controls designs using AutoCAD Electrical in alignment with established engineering standards. - Program, configure, and troubleshoot Allen-Bradley PLC systems using Studio 5000. - Support machine build activities by providing controls expertise and resolving design and integration issues. - Participate in Factory Acceptance Testing (FAT), ensuring that automated equipment meets functional and performance requirements. - Provide on-site installation and startup support for automated machines and robotic material handling systems. - Implement, configure, and troubleshoot line tracking applications to ensure accurate product handling and positioning. - Collaborate closely with robotics teams while owning all PLC and controls-related functionality within the automation systems. - Provide technical leadership, guidance, and mentorship to project team members throughout project execution. - Ensure controls designs and PLC programs follow established standards, best practices, and safety requirements. - Diagnose and resolve controls-related issues during commissioning and production ramp-up, minimizing downtime. We need to preserve all. Requirements (Essential Skills): - Proven experience leading controls engineering efforts on automated machine integration projects. - Hands-on experience developing electrical controls designs using AutoCAD Electrical. - Strong proficiency programming and troubleshooting Allen-Bradley PLC systems with Studio 5000. - Demonstrated experience with automation systems and robotic material handling applications. - Ability to implement and troubleshoot line tracking applications in automated environments. - Experience supporting machine build, Factory Acceptance Testing (FAT), installation, and startup activities. - Capability to learn and apply established engineering and controls standards effectively. - Track record of providing technical leadership and mentorship within project teams. Qualifications (Additional Skills & Qualifications): - Background in machine integration, including end-to-end involvement from initial design through commissioning. - Experience designing and programming controls systems from scratch for new automation equipment. - Strong problem-solving skills and the ability to diagnose and resolve complex controls and automation issues. - Effective communication skills to collaborate with robotics teams and cross-functional stakeholders. - Ability to work independently while coordinating efforts across multiple concurrent automation projects. Benefits: list from Pay And Benefits section. Benefits list: - Medical, dental & vision - Critical Illness, Accident, and Hospital - 401(k) Retirement Plan – Pre-tax and Roth post-tax contributions available - Life Insurance (Voluntary Life & AD&D for the employee and dependents) - Short and long-term disability - Health Spending Account (HSA) - Transportation benefits - Employee Assistance Program - Time Off/Leave (PTO, Vacation or Sick Leave) We should keep as list items. Pay: The pay range for this position is $45.00 - $60.00/hr. Individual compensation offered for this position within this range will depend on many factors, including qualifications, skills, relevant experience, job knowledge, geographic location, internal equity, and other pertinent job-related factors. Eligibility requirements apply to some benefits and may depend on your job classification and length of employment. Benefits are subject to change and may be subject to specific elections, plan, or program terms. If eligible, the benefits available for this temporary role may include the following: (then list). Actually the benefits list is after that sentence. We already extracted benefits. For Pay section we should include the pay range and maybe note about compensation factors. The instruction: include Pay section only if posting actually states them. It does state pay range. So we include Pay. Thus Pay section:The pay range for this position is $45.00 - $60.00/hr. Individual compensation offered for this position within this range will depend on many factors, including qualifications, skills, relevant experience, job knowledge, geographic location, internal equity, and other pertinent job-related factors.
We could also mention eligibility requirements etc but that's more about benefits; we already have benefits. We should not include the sentence about eligibility requirements applying to some benefits etc in Pay section; maybe we could keep it in Benefits? But it's about eligibility for benefits. Could be placed in Benefits section as a note. However we already have benefits list; we could add abefore list: "Eligibility requirements apply to some benefits and may depend on your job classification and length of employment. Benefits are subject to change and may be subject to specific elections, plan, or program terms." That seems appropriate. Thus Benefits section:
Eligibility requirements apply to some benefits and may depend on your job classification and length of employment. Benefits are subject to change and may be subject to specific elections, plan, or program terms.
- Medical, dental & vision ... etc. Now we need to ensure we don't include boilerplate like About Actalent, EEO, etc. Also we should not include Application Deadline. Could we include it in About the role? It's not strictly about role but could be added as a note. The instruction: do not put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short

or drop it. Application deadline is minor metadata; we could fold into About the role paragraph as a sentence: "The position is anticipated to close on Oct 2, 2026." That seems okay. Thus About the role paragraph can include that. Now we need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown. Let's craft. Structure:
