Jobbeschreibung

What You'll Do

• Set the roadmap. Build and drive the client's automation roadmap end to end —aligned to real business and operational goals, not automation for its own sake.
• Own programs, not tasks. Lead automation initiatives from business case through deployment and production support.
• Run multiple projects at once, on time, on budget, hitting performance targets.
• Find the opportunities. Spot where automation pays off —manufacturing, material handling, testing, inspection, packaging, warehouse —and make the case for it.
• Bring people with you. Partner with Manufacturing Engineering, Operations, Quality, Supply Chain, and IT to prioritize and land initiatives together.
• Choose the technology. Evaluate and select automation equipment, vendors, and system integrators.
• Push Industry 4.0 forward. Lead smart factory initiatives —data analytics, MES integration, robotics, IoT —that modernize how the site runs.
• Prove the value. Track program KPIs, ROI, productivity gains, and cost savings, and speak to them with confidence.
• Manage the risk. Lead risk assessments, change management, and resource planning across your programs.
• Make the investment case. Support capital expenditure planning and justification for automation spend.
• Keep it safe and compliant. Ensure every initiative meets safety, quality, and environmental standards.
• Report up. Give leadership clear, regular updates on program status and results.
• Raise the bar. Champion continuous improvement and operational excellence across the site.

What You Bring

• Bachelor's degree in Mechanical, Electrical, Industrial, Automation, or Manufacturing Engineering, or a related field
• 7+ years in manufacturing automation, industrial engineering, or operations improvement

• Working knowledge of robotics, PLCs, machine vision, automated inspection, conveyors, and AGVs/AMRs
• A track record managing project schedules, budgets, vendors, and capital investments
• Strong analytical and problem-solving instincts, with the stakeholder skills to bring people along
• Communication and leadership that holds up in front of executives and on the shop floor

Nice to Have

• PMP certification
• Lean Manufacturing or Six Sigma certification
• Experience with Industry 4.0, Smart Factory, MES, ERP, or IoT technologies
• Experience supporting new factory startups, line expansion, or manufacturing transformation
• Time inside a global manufacturing organization
