Job description

Control Systems Project Lead - Greenfield Automation

• 12-month contract (Multi-year project potential)
• Complex Dual-Platform Integration Scope

Join a premier pharmaceutical manufacturer as they execute a complex, dual-platform integration across an advanced greenfield infrastructure. The project requires high-level technical expertise to solve intricate communication, control, and data-mapping challenges between disparate industrial control systems.

This contract calls for a technical specialist with deep hands-on expertise in both Emerson DeltaV and ABB 800xA systems. You will focus entirely on resolving low-level system interactions, configuring robust bus architectures, and managing cross-platform signal translation across the site's automated infrastructure.

If you thrive on solving complex technical puzzles and building fault-tolerant control logic, this role provides the ideal platform. You will serve as the core technical SME, designing scalable integration patterns that ensure peak operational precision and system stability.

Why You'll Love It

• Solve challenging, high-complexity integration engineering problems on a clean-slate project.
• Apply deep SME knowledge across two leading industrial control platforms simultaneously.
• Work in a pure, execution-focused technical environment with minimal administrative friction.

What You'll Do

• Design, configure, and optimize interface protocols bridging DeltaV and ABB 800xA hardware/software layers.
• Execute rigorous FAT/SAT protocols, loop testing, and system validation routines across both platforms.
• Troubleshoot complex signal pathways, bus communications, and fieldbus/Ethernet networks.

What You'll Bring

• Expert-level technical knowledge of Emerson DeltaV and ABB 800xA configuration and architecture.
• Extensive background in industrial network protocols, fieldbus systems, and OPC/data exchange standards.
• Proven track record of debugging and commissioning complex multi-vendor control environments.
• Duration: 12-month contract (Strong extension potential)
• Focus: Greenfield system integration & technical commissioning
