Industrial Automation Project Lead

Flexware Innovation, Llc.; Fishers (IN); On-site; USD 90,000 - 120,000; Full time

Job summary

Flexware Innovation is seeking a PROJECT ENGINEER to lead the decomposition of complex automation projects into executable work packages and to own delivery end-to-end. You will translate customer requirements into functional designs across control and supervisory layers, drive architecture decisions, and ensure clear handoffs to staff engineers.

You’ll mentor peers, review work for quality, and engage with customers to align technical solutions with business outcomes.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Engineering or equivalent experience.
• Experience in industrial automation and controls is required.
• Track record of decomposing projects into work packages and delivering results.

Responsibilities

• Decompose a sold project scope into discrete, executable work packages with clear boundaries, inputs, outputs and acceptance criteria.
• Size each package so a staff engineer can own it end to end, and sequence packages against dependencies, equipment availability and the commissioning window.
• Write the engineering detail a package needs to be picked up without you in the room; references to drawings, I/O lists, design specifications, standards and reusable patterns.
• Identify which packages require senior judgement and which can be delivered by an engineer with oversight, and flag staffing needs early.
• Keep packages current as scope, schedule or site conditions change; surface the impact rather than absorbing it silently.
• Lead technical conversations with customer engineering and operations, and translate between engineering detail and business outcome.
