Are you ready to be part of the most significant opportunity unfolding right at your doorstep?
Why Us?
We will be the biggest XXXL Monopile factory in the world, servicing the offshore wind industry.
We're looking for an experienced and driven Electrical Engineer (Automation) to join our Maintenance team. Reporting to the Maintenance and Facilities Manager, you'll be the site's subject matter expert for industrial automation, electrical controls, and machine integration, ensuring the safe, reliable, and efficient operation of automated production equipment across our state-of-the-art manufacturing facility.
- Working closely with Maintenance, Production, Engineering, OEM suppliers, and commissioning teams, you'll diagnose and resolve complex electrical and automation faults, optimize machine performance, and support the continued commissioning of new manufacturing equipment as additional production lines come online.
- You'll play a key role in maximizing equipment availability, improving Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE), and driving operational excellence across the factory.
- This role offers the opportunity to take ownership of PLC systems, electrical controls, and automated production equipment in an environment where you'll provide technical leadership and specialist expertise.
- You'll program, modify, and optimize PLCs, HMIs, and machine parameters, support machine integration projects, and implement control system improvements that enhance safety, reliability, and productivity.
- You'll conduct preventative, predictive, and reactive maintenance activities, carry out root cause investigations into recurring equipment failures, and develop permanent engineering solutions.
- Working collaboratively across departments, you'll help reduce reliance on external suppliers by providing expert fault-finding, software modification, and technical problem-solving support.
- You'll also contribute to continuous improvement initiatives and future automation projects, maintain PLC software and electrical documentation, and ensure all activities comply with health and safety legislation, machinery regulations, and company procedures.
- In addition, you'll provide technical guidance and support to maintenance technicians, engineers, and production teams, helping build automation capability across the organization.
