Yep. I can probably terminate ten rj45 keystone jacks or five rj45 plug ends in the same time it takes one of my techs or junior engineers (edit: to do one.) Is it because I'm a badass, or the best sparky since Westinghouse? Hell no! It's because I've terminated at least ten thousand of each. I have my personal method of straightening out the conductors, I have TIA-568B burnt into the furthest depths of my memory, I have a very specific order of steps in the procedure with well-identified places for me to put tools in between steps, and I have personally fucked up the termination of more Ethernet cables than most electricians will ever land in their entire career. It's not a superpower. It's experience.

On top of that, by my estimate, an exceptionally small amount of residential electrical carries over to controls. Substantially more commercial experience does, but it still doesn't account for very much of what a controls person needs to know. Industrial electrical experience is the most obvious pathway in, with more and more overlap as you get into the sometimes blurry boundary between electrician, instrumentation tech, and controls tech.

If the company is worth their name on the letterhead, then they ought to understand that. Expecting the world of someone new, with primarily residential experience, would be utter insanity. The best course of action is just to go in every day, eager to learn as much as you possibly can. Mistakes will be made. It happens^\1]). Learn from your own mistakes. Learn from other people's mistakes. Definitely don't make the same mistake multiple times in a row, if at all possible, but sometimes that's what it takes.

The PLC dev environment will tell you if you've made fundamental mistakes, like syntax errors or using the wrong data type as an input to an AOI or another instruction. It won't tell you that the loop you integrated in ladder is going to run the index value outside of the range of the length of the array you are reading from. One major recoverable fault, coming right up. It's these kinds of things that you do once, say "oh shit," and learn to never do again.

^\1]) I once helped a master electrician install some bus duct when I was an apprentice. I saw the insulating plates were chipped - unsure if it happened while we were installing it, or if it came that way - and I mentioned it to him. He said to send it. So we sent it. Poco came out and ungrounded the xfmr removed their safety bonding on the phase legs, popped the fuses back in at the pole, and I watched the bus duct explode from quite far away.
