Document technical issues, solutions, and lessons learned

Customer Stakeholder Interface

Ensure customer end goals are being achieved throughout the commissioning process
Communicate project status, technical challenges, and timeline impacts to project stakeholders
Support installation and commissioning activities at customer sites as required

Key Requirements

Education Experience

Relevant engineering degree (Mechanical, Mechatronics, Electrical, Manufacturing, or similar) OR equivalent technical qualification combined with demonstrated hands-on experience in automation
Minimum 3-4 years relevant experience in automation environments including:
- Hands-on commissioning and debug of automated equipment, OR
- Introduction and implementation of automation projects in manufacturing environments, OR
- Design engineering role with significant involvement in machine build and commissioning phases

Technical Skills Knowledge

Strong practical understanding of automated equipment including mechanisms, servo systems, pneumatics, robotics and sensors
Working knowledge of machine control systems, PLCs, and industrial networks (programming ability not required but beneficial)
Ability to read and interpret mechanical drawings, electrical schematics, and pneumatic diagrams
Familiarity with 3D CAD applications (e.g., SolidWorks) beneficial but not essential
Basic understanding of machine safety standards and risk assessment principles

Personal Attributes Competencies

Exceptional problem-solving ability– must demonstrate a methodical, analytical approach to troubleshooting complex technical issues
Quick learner– ability to rapidly understand new technologies, systems, and processes
Self-starter with strong ownership mentality– takes initiative without waiting to be directed
Excellent coordination skills– able to manage multiple activities and prioritize effectively in a fast-paced environment
Strong communication skills– must be able to extract technical information from specialists and explain issues clearly to diverse stakeholders
Pragmatic decision-maker– balances ideal solutions with practical constraints and timelines
Hands-on mentality– comfortable working on the shop floor and getting hands-on when needed
Detail-oriented– recognizes that small issues can have large downstream impacts

Additional Requirements

Current driving licence and able to travel to customer sites as required
Flexibility to work outside normal hours when commissioning deadlines require it
Physically able to work around machinery and in industrial environments

Salary and Benefits

Competitive Salary Package
Pension Scheme
Training and development opportunities
Exposure to cutting-edge automation technology and challenging projects
