4 weeks ago


Auckland City, New Zealand Technical Recruitment Solutions Full time

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

**The Role**
Due to growth of both engineers and engineering workflow, we are seeking an **Auckland based Automation Engineering Team Lead** to lead and mentor a group of around 10 to 12 Automation Engineers on the control systems projects they are working on.

You will also take the lead on some projects and liaise with clients yourself. You will report to the Engineering Manager.

Automation Engineering here is a mix of Project Management, Programming and Configuration of PLC, SCADA, and HMI, Procurement, Safety Projects, Installation Supervision, and Project Commissioning.

How will your time be split? The Company estimate your time will be spent 1/3 on your own projects, 1/3 mentoring and upskilling enginees to manage their own projects, and 1/3 managing 1 or 2 engineers to deliver projects.

**Does this sound like you?**
- Likely you are tertiary qualified e.g., an Electrical Engineer, Mechatronics Engineer, Software Engineer (or similar)
- You have Control Systems Programming experience with PLC, SCADA, and HMI
- Automation Project Engineering experience, including Safety and Commissioning
- Senior to Team Lead level experience in NZ within Automation Engineering/Control Systems Integration projects

**Why Apply?**
This is an ideal opportunity for a Senior Automation Engineer to step into leading people and projects or for an existing Automation Team Lead to step sideways into a similar role and with a company who do interesting controls projects. You will be leading a smart group of engineers to grow themselves and also to deliver well for clients.

This is a company that wants to remain at the edge of what it is possible to automate and optimise.

You will get very good career exposure and variety in terms of the industry sectors and clients you will work across, the types of projects you will do, plus the wide range of control systems you can work on.

I have enjoyed working with the managers 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 seek to help you grow & develop too.

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

Note: If this vacancy is not exactly what you are seeking, then please contact me in confidence to discuss your individual requirements.
