Responsibilities

  • Lead the design and execution of automation projects, taking ownership from concept through commissioning and startup

  • Drive commissioning efforts at plant sites and ensure successful installation and startup of equipment (travel up to 25%)
  • Diagnose and resolve technical issues through strong troubleshooting and problem-solving capabilities
  • Collaborate cross-functionally with Operations, Plant Managers, R&D/Product Engineering, and Sales to define requirements and deliver solutions
  • Partner with millwright teams and engineers to build and implement automation systems in plant environments
  • Lead project execution activities, including delegating tasks and guiding project teams without direct reports
  • Contribute to SCADA/dashboard development to support plant visibility and decision-making
  • Support continuous improvement initiatives and explore opportunities for data automation and robotics integration

Qualifications

Required

  • Minimum 5 years of experience in automation, controls, or related engineering roles
  • Strong PLC programming experience, including ladder logic and structured text, with the ability to both modify and build systems from scratch
  • Proven experience designing and commissioning machines or automation systems in a plant or field environment
  • Experience with machine design, automation systems, and BOM creation
  • Strong troubleshooting and problem-solving skills in manufacturing or industrial environments
  • Ability to lead projects and work independently while coordinating across multiple stakeholders
  • Strong communication skills in English and ability to collaborate effectively with plant teams

Preferred

  • Experience in manufacturing or industrial environments, with an understanding of plant operations and workflows
