What should you know about role pay against all occupations, by metro?
Ratio = this role's published median divided by the all-occupations median in the same metro, same units, both exact. A ratio above 1.00 means the role's median is higher than the metro's all-occupations median. It makes no cost-of-living claim. Location quotient (LQ) is employment concentration, not a wage index.

What does this ranking mean for your opening?
The published data for this occupation reflects a broad group of repairers, not specifically PLC controls technicians. Hiring managers must recognize that these estimates include general electrical maintenance roles that do not perform the logic-based troubleshooting, code editing or SCADA integration central to a controls technician role.
Recruiter's read. Qualitative interpretation, not another BLS estimate.
The published data for this occupation reflects a broad group of repairers, not specifically PLC controls technicians. Hiring managers must recognize that these estimates include general electrical maintenance roles that do not perform the logic-based troubleshooting, code editing or SCADA integration central to a controls technician role. The wage variance between high and low metro areas may reflect local market competition or industrial density rather than differences in the specific skill sets required for modern, complex factory automation.
Effective planning requires looking beyond title matches, as the depth of PLC and HMI experience varies widely among candidates. Some technicians come from system integrators with broad platform exposure, while others possess deep, single-plant knowledge. A starting offer must account for a candidate's specific troubleshooting history, as those who can safely edit code on a running machine while documenting their changes command different market value than those who simply assist with electrical hardware.
The provided national median serves as a starting point, but hiring should be guided by local availability and the candidate's mobility. Controls technicians are in high demand and frequently receive multiple inquiries. Candidates with specialized experience in VFDs, servos and industrial networks are often less sensitive to geographic wage differences and more focused on the specific equipment mix and the quality of the technical team they would join.
Constraints in hiring are not defined by wage bands, nor does the data suggest that lower-cost metros have a surplus of qualified controls talent. The ability to recruit rests on clear communication regarding your PLC platforms and the autonomy the role provides. If your plant demands rare, older legacy support or specific proprietary integration, the local salary data becomes secondary to finding an individual with the precise, relevant troubleshooting history.
What should you know about questions before using this pay map?
Does a PLC / Controls Technician need to be an engineer?
No, controls technicians focus on floor-level troubleshooting and system maintenance while engineers typically handle system design. We screen for practical hands-on experience and the authority to modify code rather than engineering degrees.
How do you verify if a candidate can actually edit PLC code?
We ask specific questions about the platforms they have used, the types of faults they have encountered and the specific edits they have implemented. Real candidates explain their process, including safety precautions and backup habits.
Why does the national wage data vary so much by location?
The data reflects a broad occupation category rather than just controls technicians, meaning it includes diverse electrical maintenance roles. Local wage differences are often tied to the concentration of manufacturing industries and regional labor competition.
Is relocation common for this role?
Yes, controls technicians are mobile and often willing to relocate for the right technical challenge or equipment mix. We screen for genuine relocation interest and potential barriers during our initial conversations.
