Key Responsibilities

Design and implement integrations connecting PLC, SCADA and DCS platforms with MES, ERP and other enterprise applications.
Support integrations involving systems such as SAP and LIMS.
Configure and develop industrial communication solutions using OPC UA and MQTT.
Contribute to Unified Namespace (UNS) architectures and solutions aligned with ISA-95.
Develop manufacturing data collection, contextualisation and integration approaches.
Work with SQL databases and industrial data pipelines to make production information accessible and useful.
Collaborate with Automation, AI and Data Engineering teams to prepare manufacturing data for analytics and AI applications.
Participate in client workshops, site assessments and technical solution design.
Translate manufacturing and operational challenges into practical technology solutions.
Develop proof-of-concept demonstrators and technical solutions for customer projects.
Evaluate emerging OT, MES and industrial software technologies.
Deliver technical training, workshops and knowledge-sharing sessions.
Collaborate with technology vendors and industry partners.

What We're Looking For

5+ years' experience in Operational Technology, industrial automation or manufacturing systems integration.
Strong experience integrating PLC-based systems with higher-level software platforms.

Strong analytical and troubleshooting capabilities.
Excellent communication skills and the ability to explain technical concepts to different audiences.

Technical Experience That Would Be Advantageous

Experience with Ignition or DeltaV.
Exposure to Unified Namespace (UNS) architectures.
Experience with Industry 4.0 and smart manufacturing initiatives.
Cloud connectivity experience across AWS, Azure or Google Cloud.
Knowledge of industrial cybersecurity.
Experience with historian platforms and manufacturing data analytics.
Background within pharmaceutical, medical device or other regulated manufacturing environments.

Qualifications

Degree in Automation, Electrical, Electronic, Mechatronics or Computer Engineering.
Equivalent relevant industrial experience will also be considered.
Typically 5+ years' experience in industrial automation, OT integration or manufacturing systems.

The Opportunity

Work at the intersection of industrial automation, data, AI and next-generation manufacturing.
Contribute to real-world digital transformation projects across multiple manufacturing sectors.
Collaborate with multidisciplinary technical teams and technology partners.
Develop innovative demonstrators and practical manufacturing solutions.
