The posting

The Automation Technician (AT) supports Energy Drive’s engineering, maintenance, and IoT teams by delivering hands-on technical expertise across PLC & VFD systems, on site industrial IoT infrastructure, energy meters, power quality analysers and industrial instrumentation equipment. The role mitigates risk by bringing PLC programming and troubleshooting in-house, reducing dependency on third-party integrators, and improving project delivery continuity.

The AT will act as a key field presence throughout the build, commissioning and operational lifecycle, bridging engineering design with on-site execution while also supporting post-installation maintenance, analytics, and system optimization.

The role also includes potential travel to support projects in other global regions when required, contributing to company-wide technical excellence and responsiveness.

ROLE RESPONSIBILITIES

Project Execution and Field Support

  • Represent engineering during Factory Acceptance Testing (FAT) and support early-stage site testing and inspection.
  • Validate wiring, install devices, and configure networks (PLCs, VSDs, energy meters, modems, data loggers).
  • Support Project Engineers during commissioning by taking responsibility for initial testing and troubleshooting.
  • Assist with standardizing and updating PLC and HMI code libraries and documentation templates in collaboration with the EDS Group.
  • Implement continuous improvement strategies to reduce costs and improve safety, quality productivity, reliability, uptime and energy performance.
  • Recommend improvements to project processes based on prior experiences.

  • Develop, modify, and troubleshoot PLC and HMI programs (e.g., Siemens, Allen-Bradley).
  • Commission Variable Speed Drives (VSDs) for optimal performance, motor protection and robust reliability.
  • Set up, test, and resolve issues across industrial communication protocols (e.g., Modbus, Profibus, RS485, Ethernet/IP, Bacnet, etc).
  • Support remote cloud based SCADA/HMI setup (preferably Ignition), review process diagrams, and validate control logic.

Digital Integration and Analytics

  • Act as the in-field executor for the digital and analytics teams, validating data streams and escalating configuration issues.
  • Translate IoT related system requirements from Project Engineers into Single Line Diagrams (SLDs) for use by the IoT team.
  • Assist with data field mapping and perform diagnostics on live systems using tools like ModScan

Maintenance and Operational Support

  • Respond to maintenance events on-site, performing diagnostics and minor repairs.
  • Support the Maintenance Manager with communication, coordination, and quality checks for contractor work.
  • Conduct routine system verifications and assist in planned preventive maintenance tasks.

  • Maintain accurate records of installation, commissioning, and field adjustments, including labelled photographs and updated diagrams.
  • Provide structured feedback to improve EBP (engineering Best Practice) documentation, processes, QCPs, SOPs and related templates
