Endurance Technologies, BKT Tires and Can Pack Group: Inside Waluj MIDC's 2026 Automation Hiring Wave (Updated July 2026) (Updated July 2026)

Waluj MIDC in Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar has been growing steadily for decades, but 2025–2026 marks a particularly active hiring cycle at three companies that are expanding their production capacity and upgrading their automation infrastructure: Endurance Technologies (auto components, die casting), BKT Tires (off-highway tyre manufacturing) and Can Pack Group (beverage can and aerosol packaging). Together these three companies are among the largest employers in Waluj by headcount and have been actively posting automation, PLC and instrumentation engineering roles. What most job seekers don''t know is that each of these companies has a distinct PLC/SCADA ecosystem, and understanding which one you are applying for — and matching your skills accordingly — makes a significant difference in getting past the initial screening.

Endurance Technologies Waluj: Automation Roles and What They Test in Interviews

Endurance Technologies (Plot E-92, Waluj MIDC) manufactures aluminium die castings, shock absorbers, disc brakes and alloy wheels for two-wheelers and four-wheelers — supplying Bajaj Auto, Honda, TVS and Yamaha. Their Waluj facility is one of the largest in the group and runs Allen Bradley and Rockwell Automation PLCs on high-speed die-casting lines, with Rockwell FactoryTalk SCADA monitoring production downtime, cycle times and quality parameters. Interview process: typically a written test on basic electrical fundamentals (Ohm''s law, motor starters, relay logic), followed by a practical on reading a PLC ladder logic diagram and identifying faults. Salary for automation engineer trainee freshers: ₹3–4 LPA. What most applicants miss: Endurance runs a lean maintenance team and wants candidates who can diagnose faults independently, not just operate a running system. Show troubleshooting ability in your interview.

BKT Tires Waluj: The Plant That Runs Siemens Top-to-Bottom

BKT (Balkrishna Industries Tires) operates a large tyre manufacturing plant in Waluj — producing off-highway tyres for agricultural, industrial and earthmoving applications. The Waluj plant is Siemens-heavy: mixing mills, calendars, extruders and tyre curing presses all run Siemens S7-1500 PLCs with TIA Portal programming and WinCC SCADA for production monitoring. The plant also uses Siemens drive systems (G120, S120) for motor speed control on the mixing and extrusion lines. What BKT looks for in automation freshers: Siemens PLC basics, TIA Portal familiarity, and understanding of process parameters in continuous manufacturing (temperature control on curing presses is critical in tyre making — rubber curing is a precision time-temperature process). Salary: ₹3–4.5 LPA for automation technician and junior engineer roles.

Company (Waluj MIDC)	PLC/SCADA Platform	Key Skills Tested	Fresher Package
Endurance Technologies (E-92)	Allen Bradley, Rockwell FactoryTalk	Ladder logic reading, fault diagnosis, relay circuits	₹3–4 LPA
BKT Tires	Siemens S7-1500, WinCC, S120 drives	TIA Portal, temperature control, HMI	₹3–4.5 LPA
Can Pack Group	Siemens, instrumentation-heavy	4-20mA loops, SCADA alarms, pneumatics	₹2.8–3.8 LPA
Bajaj Auto (G-137)	Siemens S7, WinCC	Electrical panels, S7 basics, VFD	₹3–4.5 LPA

Can Pack Group Waluj: Packaging Automation and the Instrumentation Skills Gap

Can Pack Group''s Waluj facility manufactures aluminium beverage cans and aerosol cans for FMCG brands — a packaging process that is highly automated and running at very high speed (can lines produce thousands of cans per minute). The automation challenge here is different from automotive: it is less about complex PLC logic and more about instrumentation, quality control sensors, vision systems and rapid fault response on high-speed lines. Can Pack specifically needs engineers who understand 4–20 mA signal wiring for flow, pressure and level sensors; pneumatic actuator control; and SCADA alarm management for high-uptime continuous production lines. The good news is: the instrumentation and SCADA skills for Can Pack are covered in any solid PLC SCADA programme. The instrumentation module (transmitters, control valves, PID loops) is the most relevant for packaging-sector automation roles.

What All Three Waluj MIDC Companies Have in Common — And the One Skill Set That Gets You Hired

What these three companies share — and what becomes the common hiring criteria across all of Waluj MIDC''s automation-intensive manufacturers — is a requirement for core PLC troubleshooting ability, not just PLC programming. Companies do not expect a fresher to write PLC code from scratch on day one. They do expect the fresher to read an existing ladder logic diagram, identify which rung is causing a machine fault, check the relevant field device (sensor, valve, motor) and report a root cause. That troubleshooting process — systematic, not panic-driven — is what separates candidates who get hired from those who go through three rounds and get rejected at the practical test. The ABC Trainings CIDCO and Osmanpura programmes include fault simulation exercises on live lab setups specifically to build this ability. Call 7039169629 for the next batch date.

Maharashtra's CMYKPY (Chief Minister Yuva Karya Prashikshan Yojana) scheme provides a ₹6,000–₹10,000 training stipend to eligible youth — applicable for PLC SCADA training at ABC Trainings. If you are targeting a job at Endurance, BKT or Can Pack and want to build your automation skills first, this stipend can cover a significant portion of the training fee.

FAQs

Is Endurance Technologies hiring automation engineers at Waluj MIDC in 2026?

Endurance Technologies at Waluj MIDC (Plot E-92) periodically opens automation engineer trainee and electrical maintenance engineer positions, especially when plant capacity is being expanded or when existing engineers move to senior roles. The most reliable way to track openings is through their LinkedIn company page and through direct referrals from ABC Trainings' placement team, which has a working relationship with HR at several Waluj MIDC companies.

What PLC platform does BKT Tires use at its Waluj plant?

BKT Tires' Waluj plant runs primarily Siemens automation — S7-1500 PLCs (TIA Portal), WinCC SCADA for production monitoring, and Siemens SINAMICS G120/S120 drives for motor speed control on mixing mills, extruders and tyre curing presses. For candidates targeting BKT, Siemens PLC proficiency is the highest-priority skill, followed by drive fundamentals and basic process control understanding.

What is the starting salary for an automation engineer at Waluj MIDC companies?

Fresher automation and PLC/SCADA engineers at major Waluj MIDC companies start between ₹2.8 LPA (instrumentation tech at smaller units) and ₹4.5 LPA (automation engineer at Bajaj Auto, Skoda VW or Endurance). With 3–5 years of experience at these companies, mid-level automation engineers earn ₹6–10 LPA, and senior roles in programme lead or maintenance manager positions can reach ₹12–15 LPA.

How do I apply for automation jobs at Endurance Technologies, BKT or Can Pack Group?
