  • Lead onsite commissioning activities, working closely with clients and other stakeholders to ensure successful system integration.
  • Provide technical leadership and mentorship to junior engineers, fostering a collaborative and supportive team environment.
  • Work independently, demonstrating initiative and decision-making skills to resolve technical challenges.
  • Collaborate with other team members to develop innovative solutions and improve project outcomes.
  • Ensure compliance with industry standards and company quality procedures.
  • Maintain flexibility and adaptability to meet changing project needs and client requirements.


Essential experience:

  • Minimum of 5 years of experience as a Control Systems Engineer.
  • Proficiency in PLC programming and software development, ideally with Siemens or Rockwell systems; experience with other PLC brands will be considered if skills are transferable.
  • Comprehensive experience with the full project lifecycle, including design, development, testing, installation, and commissioning.
  • Strong leadership skills, with experience mentoring and leading junior engineers.
  • Ability to work both independently and as part of a team, demonstrating flexibility and a collaborative mindset.
