The PLC / Controls Engineer (Aggregates) Market
As quarries, asphalt and concrete plants automate, the PLC/controls engineer becomes the person who keeps the plant intelligent, programming and fault-finding the control systems that run the processing circuit, weighing and batching. It is a scarce, cross-over skill: industrial controls competence plus genuine aggregates/process understanding. Because so few controls engineers know this environment, both permanent salaries and contract day rates are strong, and downtime on a control fault is expensive. ARG sources controls, automation and SCADA engineers who understand aggregate and materials plant.
