CONTRACT - Initial 12 months+ (January/February 2027 start)

Hourly Rate €65–€75

I am recruiting a number of hands-on Emerson DeltaV Automation Engineers to support the commissioning and qualification of a new pharmaceutical manufacturing building.

I'm looking for engineers who personally design, configure, modify, and test DeltaV software. You’ll investigate control-system issues, implement fixes and verify changes under formal GxP change-control procedures.

The Role:

• Configure and modify DeltaV Control Modules, Equipment Modules and phase/batch logic.
• Diagnose automation faults, including sequence failures, interlocks, permissives and equipment-state issues.
• Implement and test software fixes, including routine changes needed during commissioning.
• Work directly with operators, commissioning engineers and other site stakeholders to resolve issues.
• Prepare and maintain design, testing and change documentation.
• Support commissioning, qualification and handover to manufacturing.

Skills/Experience:

• Typically 5-10 years’ relevant DeltaV automation experience, with flexibility depending on capability.
• Demonstrable personal responsibility for DeltaV configuration, coding and testing.
• Practical experience with tools such as Control Studio, DeltaV Explorer and Recipe Studio, relevant to your work.
• Understanding of batch control and ISA-88 concepts.
• Experience delivering software changes within a GMP/GxP-controlled environment, including testing, traceability and approvals.
• Willingness to work as a hands-on individual contributor within an engineering team.

Site commissioning or front-line manufacturing support experience is preferred. Engineers with office-based pharmaceutical DeltaV design, configuration and testing experience are also welcome, provided they understand GxP change management.

I am also interested in senior engineers with 10+ years’ experience and specific CIP process knowledge, combined with hands‑on DeltaV coding and troubleshooting capability.
