Job description

We are seeking an experienced and forward-thinking Systems Project Manager with deep domain expertise in industrial automation, condition monitoring, and smart diagnostics technologies. The ideal candidate will have a strong foundation in PLC/HMI/SCADA systems, IoT integration, and advanced diagnostics tools such as Motor Current Signature Analysis (MCSA) and Vibration Monitoring Systems (VMS).

This leadership role involves managing the end-to-end lifecycle of automation and condition monitoring projects, driving innovation in predictive maintenance strategies, and ensuring seamless system integration aligned with reliability and operational excellence.

Key Responsibilities:

• Lead the design, development, and integration of PLC, HMI, and SCADA systems for industrial automation and smart maintenance solutions.
• Oversee the implementation and performance optimization of MCSA and VMS technologies to enhance asset reliability and minimize unplanned downtime.
• Drive the adoption of IoT-based architectures for real-time data acquisition, remote diagnostics, and centralized condition monitoring.
• Manage full project cycles including requirements gathering, system architecture design, FAT/SAT, commissioning, and post-deployment support.
• Coordinate with cross-functional teams across engineering, IT, and operations to ensure interoperability and system-level alignment.
• Guide the development of technical documentation such as control philosophies, BOMs, wiring diagrams, and maintenance protocols.
• Provide technical leadership and mentorship to junior engineers and field specialists, promoting knowledge sharing and best practices.
• Ensure compliance with industry standards, safety regulations, and cybersecurity protocols for all deployed systems.
• Maintain strategic relationships with vendors and technology partners to keep abreast of emerging tools and methodologies.

Qualifications & Requirements:

• Bachelor’s degree or higher in Electrical Engineering, Mechatronics, Control Systems, or a related field.
• Minimum 5 years of hands-on experience in automation, control systems, and electrical engineering, with at least 2 years in a leadership or senior technical role.
• Advanced proficiency in PLC programming (Mitsubishi, Siemens, Omron, Allen-Bradley, Schneider, etc.).
• Deep familiarity with HMI/SCADA platforms (e.g., Weintek, Advantech, Mitsubishi).
• Proven track record in deploying and interpreting MCSA and vibration diagnostic tools for rotating equipment.
• Experience with industrial communication protocols such as Modbus, OPC UA, MQTT, and Profibus.
• Strong technical expertise in circuit design and controller programming.
• Practical understanding of IoT ecosystems and integration with enterprise/cloud-based platforms.
• Excellent analytical, documentation, and troubleshooting skills.
• Strong leadership, interpersonal, and communication skills.
• Willingness to travel for project execution, site support, and client engagement.

We appreciate all applications; however, only shortlisted candidates will be contacted for an interview.
