• Conduct system diagnostics, troubleshoot faults, and resolve technical issues related to control system operation.
• Program and configure control systems to meet project requirements and support optimal plant performance.
• Provide technical support to customers onsite and remotely, including guidance on control system operation and maintenance.
• Complete service documentation including maintenance reports, work orders, and equipment records.
• Ensure excellent service delivery is achieved within budget and time constraints while maintaining a high standard of safety.
• As the Sydney team grows, take on leadership responsibility for developing and supervising new team members, including control systems technicians and potentially HV technicians.
• Participate in on-call duties where required, including after-hours work and shift coverage, with on-call allowance and overtime payments applying where applicable.

• Demonstrated capability in PLC/SCADA programming, fault finding, and system support
• Experience scoping works, gathering site information, and supporting quotations or estimation is highly regarded
