Drive Automation, Innovation, and the Future of IT Operations

At Charter Manufacturing, we're committed to continuously improving how technology enables our business. We're looking for a Digital Automation Engineer who is passionate about solving problems, eliminating repetitive work, and leveraging automation, integrations, and emerging technologies to create meaningful business impact. This is an opportunity to move beyond traditional IT support and become a catalyst for operational transformation. You'll work across Digital Technology teams to identify opportunities, streamline processes, build automation solutions, and help shape how modern technologies, AI capabilities, and intelligent workflows are adopted throughout the organization. If you enjoy finding a process that takes hours and reducing it to minutes, building solutions that make people's jobs easier, and exploring how AI and automation can drive efficiency at scale, this role offers the chance to make a visible and lasting impact.

What You'll Do

Transform How Work Gets Done

Identify and prioritize opportunities to automate manual, repetitive, and time-consuming processes across Digital Technology and Infrastructure & Operations. Partner with teams to understand challenges and uncover opportunities to improve efficiency, consistency, and service quality. Analyze existing workflows and simplify, standardize, eliminate, or automate tasks before introducing technology solutions. Help teams move from reactive work to scalable, automated processes.

Design & Deliver Automation Solutions

Design, build, test, deploy, and maintain automation solutions using scripting, APIs, workflows, integrations, low-code platforms, and other automation technologies. Develop solutions that reduce manual effort, improve accuracy, and create capacity for higher-value work. Ensure automation solutions are secure, scalable, supportable, and aligned with enterprise standards. Create reusable automation frameworks and best practices that can be leveraged across teams.

Drive Innovation Through Emerging Technologies

Evaluate and recommend new automation tools, AI capabilities, and operational technologies. Explore opportunities to leverage Generative AI, workflow automation, orchestration platforms, and intelligent process automation. Help translate emerging technologies into practical, business-focused solutions with measurable value. Stay current with industry trends and continuously seek new ways to improve operational effectiveness.

Lead Automation Initiatives End-to-End

Manage automation initiatives through the full lifecycle, from idea generation and requirements gathering through implementation, adoption, measurement, and long-term support. Maintain and prioritize an automation backlog based on business value, risk reduction, operational impact, and strategic priorities. Define success metrics and communicate outcomes including time savings, efficiency gains, error reduction, and business impact. Monitor solution performance and continuously improve, optimize, or retire automations as business needs evolve.

Collaborate Across the Organization

Partner with Infrastructure, Service Desk, Cybersecurity, Enterprise Applications, and Business Technology teams. Promote automation, standardization, and continuous improvement across Digital Technology. Serve as a trusted advisor and automation champion within the organization. Help foster a culture focused on innovation, efficiency, and operational excellence.

What You'll Bring

Bachelor's degree in Information Technology, Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field; or an equivalent combination of education and experience. 3+ years of experience in IT operations, infrastructure, application support, service management, automation, or a related technical field. Experience with scripting and automation tools such as PowerShell, Python, APIs, workflow platforms, or similar technologies. Strong understanding of IT operations, infrastructure, or enterprise technology environments. Experience identifying process improvement opportunities and reducing manual effort through automation. Excellent analytical, problem-solving, communication, and collaboration skills. A continuous-improvement mindset and passion for simplifying complex processes. Curiosity around emerging technologies, AI, automation platforms, and digital transformation. Ability to thrive in an environment where you'll often help define the path forward rather than simply follow established processes.

Preferred Qualifications

Experience integrating systems through APIs, webhooks, connectors, orchestration tools, or workflow platforms. Experience with IT service management processes and platforms. Experience with cloud platforms, infrastructure automation, endpoint management, low-code/no-code platforms, or robotic process automation. Familiarity with Git, source control, testing, release management, and DevOps concepts. Experience measuring and reporting on automation outcomes and operational improvements.
