System Integration Manager - Warehouse Automation

There's real satisfaction in seeing a complex automation system come together - and knowing you helped make it work.

At SSI SCHAEFER, our automation projects bring together equipment, controls, software and third-party systems to help customers store and move goods efficiently. Making those elements work as one takes technical depth, practical judgement and people who can connect the right expertise.

With new projects coming on stream, we're looking for a System Integration Manager to join us in this newly created role.

About the opportunity

You’ll take the technical lead on system integration across our automation projects, working alongside project managers, engineers, suppliers and customers from early design through commissioning, acceptance and go-live.

The variety is part of the appeal. You might be reviewing how a proposed solution will fit together, helping teams resolve an interface issue, or working on site to establish whether the complete system performs as it should. You’ll keep sight of the customer’s operational needs while bringing structure and clarity to technical decisions along the way.

Your contribution will include:

• Bringing teams and suppliers together around a clear integration approach.
• Identifying technical risks and managing integration issues to minimise their impact on project delivery and customer operations.
• Providing technical oversight through commissioning, testing and customer acceptance.
• Supporting customers through training, go-live and ramp-up.
• Sharing your experience and mentoring engineers developing their integration capability.

This is a technical leadership role with no direct reports. Your impact will come through your expertise, judgement and ability to work effectively across teams.

What you'll bring

You’ll have demonstrated experience in system integration, automation engineering or system integration management, with project delivery experience in automated warehouses, manufacturing or similar industrial environments.

You’ll understand how equipment, controls and software interact - and be comfortable investigating problems that cross those boundaries. Just as importantly, you’ll be able to explain technical issues clearly, work constructively with customers and suppliers, and help people reach practical decisions.

We’re also looking for:

• Strong knowledge of integration architecture and design.
• Experience managing technical risks and troubleshooting integration issues.
• A relevant degree in Engineering, Information Technology, Computer Science or a related field.
• A Construction White Card.

Experience in network planning, Siemens PLC troubleshooting or Power BI would be useful.

Working with us

This role offers the opportunity to follow complex automation projects through to operation, see the results of your work on site and contribute to the technical capability of our ANZ business.

You’ll be based at Norwest, with hybrid working and significant time on customer sites during commissioning, testing and go-live. Occasional regional travel may also be required.
