Start by building hands-on experience through internships, co-ops, or academic lab projects involving PLCs, SCADA systems, or process control. Employers at this level look for candidates who can demonstrate practical knowledge of control theory and automation tools, even if that comes from coursework or personal projects. A relevant engineering degree, familiarity with industry-standard software, and a willingness to learn on the job give entry level applicants a clear edge.
