  • Integrate AI-driven vision systems for automated quality control using smart cameras.
  • Enable ERP and MES system integration to create a unified, intelligent production environment.
  • Ensure food safety and compliance throughout the automation design and rollout.
  • Provide comprehensive documentation and remote training to client teams.
  • Offer ongoing virtual consultation, support, and system optimization.

Required Qualifications

  • Degree in Mechatronics, Automation, Electrical/Electronics Engineering, or a related discipline.
  • 5+ years of hands-on experience in industrial automation, preferably in FMCG or food production.
  • Advanced knowledge of PLC programming (e.g., Siemens, Allen Bradley), and SCADA/HMI systems.
  • Experience with remote automation consulting, including supporting on-site teams.
  • Strong understanding of industrial IoT, sensor integration, and control system architecture.
  • Familiarity with food-grade automation and hygiene compliance standards.

Preferred Expertise

  • Experience automating dairy, ice cream, beverage, or frozen food production environments.
  • Working knowledge of AI/ML-powered visual inspection systems.
  • Experience integrating with ERP and MES platforms for process visibility and control.
  • Familiarity with Industry 4.0 tools and cloud-based data platforms.
  • Strong communication and collaboration skills in remote settings.

Engagement Details

  • Duration: 36 months (extendable)
  • Working Style: Remote-first with possible short-term site visits
  • Timezone Flexibility: Caribbean (GMT-5) collaboration required

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
