Industrial Automation Hiring is Soaring in India
India is on the brink of a monumental shift in its manufacturing industry, an evolution not witnessed since the country's liberalization. Spurred on by the government's Production Linked Incentive (PLI) schemes—covering as many as 14 sectors—along with the National Manufacturing Policy and the growing tendency of the global supply chains to relocate to India, numerous corporations are pumping vast amounts of capital into their smart factory setups. All these advancements, however, call for highly qualified automation professionals to manage and operate them effectively.
With industries ranging from food processing and chemicals to semiconductors, automobiles, and pharmaceuticals, implementing state-of-the-art PLC-SCADA systems, distributed control systems (DCS), vision systems, collaborative robots (cobots), and industrial IoT platforms at an unprecedented scale, there exists an unprecedented talent deficit in almost every automation specialization. This gap in the automation field translates directly into outstanding career prospects for proficient engineers and technicians everywhere.

Frequently asked questions
What qualifications do I need to work in automation in India?
In the vast majority of automation jobs in India, a BE or BTech in electrical, electronics, instrumentation, or mechatronics is essential, or a diploma in one of these disciplines is usually needed. Experience and hands-on knowledge in a specific PLC, SCADA, or DCS platform are far more important than an academic degree or formal qualifications. However, qualifications such as certifications from companies like Siemens, Rockwell, or ABB can make it easier to get into mid- and senior-level positions.
Is your placement service free to job seekers?
Yes, it is free. Career Choice Solution is paid by client companies that hire its services. Job applicants never pay any fees—not for registration, placement, or any other service.
Which cities in India receive the highest number of job offers for automation work?
Automation job vacancies are mostly observed in cities such as Pune, Bengaluru, Chennai, Ahmedabad, Hyderabad, and Delhi NCR (Gurugram, Noida, Manesar, and Faridabad). The industrial corridors of Pithampur (MP), Hosur (Tamil Nadu), Aurangabad and Nashik (Maharashtra), and Vadodara (Gujarat) also witness a considerable amount of hiring activities, and vacancies for these types of jobs usually correspond to the need for employees from the automotive, pharmaceutical, and chemical manufacturing sectors.
What is the approximate earning potential for an automation engineer in India?
For entry-level automation engineers, salaries range between 3.5 LPA and 6 LPA. Professionals who have work experience ranging from 4 to 8 years and know PLC/SCADA/DCS can earn between 8 LPA and 18 LPA. Top-level jobs for senior automation engineers, lead automation architects, project managers, and professionals at leading manufacturing firms or system integrators can earn anywhere from 20 LPA to 40 LPA depending upon their experience and platform expertise.
Do you recruit for system integrators and also for end-user companies?
Yes, we recruit for both. System integrators would offer you the chance to work across various platforms, industrial segments, and project applications. The positions at the end user organizations would help you gain in-depth knowledge about the production processes and would assure you of career growth and job security. We could help you identify your perfect career path according to your career choices.
Can freshers be placed through Career Choice Solution for automation jobs?
Yes, they can. For the fresh graduates who have knowledge about PLC programming, instrumentation, or any automation platforms, Career Choice Solution finds placements for graduate engineer trainee or junior automation engineer roles with the system integrators or the manufacturing companies. We offer counseling to the fresh graduates and make them ready to appear for technical examinations and platform-specific tests.
