• Creating detailed designs based on system architecture using defined engineering methods
• Developing control applications and integrating them into sub-systems (build, configure, program)
• Performing pre-commissioning (e.g. I/O checks, cabinet testing) and commissioning (e.g. functionality, capacity tests)
• Supporting integration of LLC systems including third-party equipment and SCADA systems
• Preparing technical documentation and validation plans (FAT/SAT) aligned with multidisciplinary teams
• Executing and supporting on-site and in-house testing
• Creating detailed engineering plans and reporting to the project leadership

? Required Skills & Qualifications

• Proficiency in developing LLC code, particularly in Siemens S7 platforms
• Familiarity with SCADA platforms (e.g. WinCC, WebFactory) and safety systems (e.g. Siemens S7-F, PILZ)
• Understanding of health and safety risk analysis at both component and system levels
• Knowledge of material handling systems, including EM components, cabinets, field wiring, and automated equipment (e.g. DOTM, ICS, ASRS)
• Experience with testing strategies and tools (e.g. Jenkins, Quality Center)
• Strong grasp of business process automation and industrial communication networks

? What We Offer

• 28 days annual leave (plus public holidays)
• Private medical insurance
• Cycle to work scheme
• Employee recognition platform with rewards & discounts

? We welcome applicants from all backgrounds and are committed to diversity and inclusion.
