How to Get Hired by Maharashtra's Top Automation Companies
Getting hired by Maharashtra's top automation companies requires a targeted approach — not just a resume upload to Naukri. Three things that work: (1) Apply through the company's official careers portal directly, not just Naukri — many companies give priority to direct applications. Siemens India careers portal, ABB India careers, and L&T career pages all have automation job listings. (2) LinkedIn targeting: connect with and message HR professionals and automation managers at your target company in Pune or Sambhajinagar before applying. A message like "I'm a PLC SCADA engineer with TIA Portal experience looking for roles in Chakan — can I submit my resume directly?" gets responses. (3) ABC Trainings placement cell: we have direct placement relationships with several of the companies on this list — including system integrators in Bhosari and Chakan who hire directly from our batches. Attend our mock interview sessions (which simulate technical rounds at Siemens and Bosch-style companies) and get your portfolio reviewed. WhatsApp 7774002496 for the current placement calendar.
ABC Trainings students from Wagholi (Pune), Hadapsar (Pune), and Osmanpura (Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar) centers have been placed at multiple companies on this list. The CMYKPY scheme (Rs 6,000-10,000/month stipend) for eligible Maharashtra residents reduces training costs while you prepare for these roles.

FAQs
Which company is the best to join as a fresher PLC SCADA engineer in Maharashtra?
For freshers, system integrators in Pune MIDC (Bhosari, Chakan) are the most accessible first employers — they hire without experience requirements and pay Rs 2.5-4.5 LPA. If you want a direct OEM start, Bajaj Auto's Engineering Management Trainee program and Bosch Pune's campus hiring are well-structured. For AURIC region freshers, Endurance Technologies (Waluj) and Varroc Engineering (Shendra) are the most accessible.
Do I need to know Siemens TIA Portal specifically to get hired in Maharashtra?
Yes — Siemens TIA Portal is the dominant PLC platform in Maharashtra. Over 65% of automation job postings in Pune and Sambhajinagar specify Siemens TIA Portal as required or preferred. Bajaj Auto (Waluj), Skoda VW (Shendra), Thermax, and most system integrators in MIDC run Siemens-based panels. Allen-Bradley is important for companies like Bosch, Continental, and American-supply-chain manufacturers — but learn Siemens first.
How do I find PLC SCADA job openings at companies in Pune or Sambhajinagar?
For live openings: Naukri.com (search "PLC engineer Pune" or "automation engineer Aurangabad"), LinkedIn Jobs, and the careers pages of Siemens India, ABB India, and L&T directly. For SME and system integrator openings: many don't post online — reach out to Pune MIDC panel builders directly (Autolec Engineers Hadapsar, Technocraft Bhosari). ABC Trainings also maintains a placement bulletin for current students. WhatsApp 7774002496.
What is the difference in salary between a system integrator and an OEM for a PLC engineer in Maharashtra?
System integrators typically pay Rs 2.5-5 LPA for freshers and Rs 5-10 LPA for mid-level engineers. Large OEMs (Siemens, ABB, Bajaj Auto, Bosch) pay Rs 3.5-6 LPA for freshers and Rs 8-18 LPA for mid to senior engineers. The trade-off: system integrators give faster hands-on experience and commissioning exposure; OEMs give brand name, structure, and higher long-term ceiling. Most experienced engineers recommend starting at a system integrator for 1-2 years, then moving to an OEM for better pay and structured career progression.
