Job Description

This is not a typical project management role! We are looking for a technically grounded engineer who can own the full lifecycle of automation projects – from identifying opportunities with clients, through design and development, to on-site commissioning and handover. You will be building and maintaining client relationships, uncovering new project opportunities, and translating client needs into actionable proposals and technical solutions.

You will collaborate closely with Grantek’s engineering team to deliver projects across a range of industrial automation technologies. With mentoring and development from senior leadership, you will grow into a role where you can confidently take a project from conception through to delivery.

Key-skills and interests: PlantPAx DCS, Rockwell Automation platforms, process control, project management, client relationship development, business development, proposal generation, technical communication, and operational efficiency.

• Representing Grantek at local client sites, building relationships, understanding client needs, and identifying new opportunities for project work

• Evaluating new project opportunities and developing technical proposals, including scope definition, budgets, and timelines

• Managing project activities from conception through commissioning, including planning, scheduling, resource coordination, and progress tracking

• Developing and maintaining PLC/PAC programs in Studio 5000 Logix Designer for process control applications

• Configuring HMI and SCADA visualization using FactoryTalk View SE and/or other platforms

• Communicating project status, milestones, and deliverables to clients and internal stakeholders

• Identifying project risks and developing mitigation plans

• Commissioning new solutions at client sites; finding opportunities for improvements and follow-on work

• Creating documentation, including project proposals, engineering notes, design traceability documentation, and case studies

• Collaborating with Grantek’s engineering team to ensure successful project delivery across all phases

• Following up on pending quotes and maintaining consistency in quoting by following corporate guidelines

• Learning new technologies and mentoring colleagues on your areas of expertise

• Having fun and being challenged
