Auckland City, New Zealand Technical Recruitment Solutions Full time

Rare Systems Integrator Engineering Manager opportunity if you are familiar with Industrial Automation Engineering and control systems.

**Manage & Support Automation Engineers**
**Auckland Based**
**Long term Career role**

**The Company**
Well-established and growing Automation Systems Integration and Engineering company who specialise in delivering projects across a wide variety of sectors and control system platforms in this technical niche.

**The Role**
Based in Auckland and reporting to the GM and Director, you will have overall responsibility for typically between 18 to 22 engineers there, depending on staff levels.

Your main role is to support and enable your Automation Engineering team, making sure they have what they need to do their projects well.

So, who we are looking for here is a really good people and engineering manager that ideally has a reasonable grasp on Industrial Automation Engineering and control systems.

**What will you do?**
- Project Kick-offs - assign project work to relevant engineers, and ensure they have what they need to do their projects.
- H&S of engineers at the office and customer sites.
- Ensure correct engineering on projects or delegate a Senior to check this.
- Monitor Projects
- Project Resourcing & Engineer Utilisation: Ensure projects are adequately resourced and engineers have work to do.
- Monitor forward work pipeline with Business Development Manager.
- Monitor overtime so employees are not overworked, and work is fairly shared.
- Provide Technical Support to Engineers.
- Promote a supportive Team Culture.
- Employee Training
- Hiring Interviews
- Performance Reviews
- Commercial: Invoices for projects, including monitoring scope creep, scope adjustments, and invoicing for project variations.
- Liaison with IT Provider
- Keep Standards & Libraries up to date: Quality Manual, Code Standards + Code Library, VM Library, and CAD Library

**Why Apply?**
This is an ideal Engineering Management opportunity if Industrial Controls are your wheelhouse.

This is a job for someone who loves these sorts of technical controls systems projects but who has moved on to people and engineering management and now enjoys enabling other technically savvy engineers to deliver their projects well.

This is a company that wants to remain at the edge of what it is possible to automate and optimise, an exciting place to be.

Your engineering team will cover a large variety of industry sectors and project solutions, so this will keep things interesting too.

I have enjoyed working with all of the managers and Directors there over a few years now and find them to be an approachable, reasonable, and down to earth employer who will treat you fairly, and will support you in your role.

**How to Apply**
Technical Recruitment Solutions has been a trusted recruitment specialist for industry since 1996.
