Automation Engineer

|Industrial & Energy - Automation|New Zealand

The Company
This is a small team of technical experts who engineer Industrial Automation solutions for their clients.

With Directors who own and work in the business, the company culture here is one of ownership, passion for their people, clients, industry, and technology. This is a real tight-knit team that are adaptable to clients’ needs and deliver custom automation solutions that are both in-step with current technology and push the boundaries.

Mid to large sized manufacturers are their typical clients, but they are generalist, flexible and open-minded in terms of the client industry sectors they will tackle. Reflecting this, the industry sector someone comes from is not important to them specifically when hiring.

This company is well-setup, and has existing clients and projects on the go. They are stable and growing, an ideal situation for hiring. 

Does this sound like you?
Ideally, we want someone who can jump on board in their Tauranga office and quickly manage their own projects. PLC, HMI, & SCADA based projects will be your bread & butter and you will be involved in design, developing, commissioning, and on-going support.

Other interesting and specialised projects will use technology like robotics, machine vision, data reporting & analytics, and machine learning.

If you come from a more software leaning, machine automation, type background and on projects that require more data, and number crunching, this is an environment you will thrive.

Attitude is important, the team here are diligent people who take ownership for their work (methodical “do-ers”). To fit with the DNA here you will be flexible, adaptable, not set in your ways, and comfortable learning new control system platforms.

Your Experience Snapshot

  • Ignition SCADA programming (or any SCADA experience)
  • Process Automation experience e.g. batching
  • Automation Engineer/Industrial Control Systems Engineer at the Senior or Intermediate level on projects
  • Control Systems design, programming, configuration, and commissioning e.g., on PLC, HMI, & SCADA systems
  • Functional Description creation

  • A good communicator, comfortable liaising direct with customers (not sales, but just confident communicating with different stakeholders, project engineering skills)

  • Familiarity with PLC coding in Structured Text, but experience with other PLC languages is valuable too
  • Robotics e.g., ABB

Why Apply?
This opportunity will be really interesting for an engineer who wants to stay focused on delivering top-notch automation solutions. You will get technically interesting projects and work that will move your clients into the future of where automation can take them.

As a Control Systems Integrator the work remains fresh and there will always be variety in terms of the industry sectors you work in, the projects themselves, and the technology and control systems you work with.
