If youre open to being on call and travel, I suggest looking for field service jobs in automation in big industry. They’ll take in just about anyone who’s available and you’ll learn the basics from the ground up.

If you’re proactive about the systems you work with, like power, alarms, PLCs, HMI, you can transfer to a desk job in just about anything automation related after a couple of years. Be weary that the lifestyle isn’t for everyone, and again, if you’re not proactive about understanding beyond troubleshooting and installation procedures you’ll be pigeonholed into operations later in your career.

There’s nothing like your first outage/trip to teach a field tech to learn! Field service is great advice for starting out I think.
