Lead Automation Engineer

Auckland City, New Zealand Technical Recruitment Solutions Full time

We’re looking for a **Lead Automation Engineer**.

Yes, you will mentor and oversee other engineers, but you will not be a manager, you will be a technical lead.

This is quite an appealing type of opportunity to many engineers I speak to. A step up from senior for people who don’t want to be a manager.

**The Company**

This Company works for Dairy, plus Food & Beverage manufacturers in NZ and Australia. These are pretty stable sectors to work in, great for your job security.

You will deliver complicated automation projects, ideal for a technically minded engineer.

These projects will include:
**PLC, HMI, SCADA, custom middleware development, sensors, robotics, machine vision, and labelling equipment**.

So, you will work on a variety of challenging projects, with a wide range of different technology. This will keep things interesting for you

**Your Team**: You will join a Software & Robotics Engineer, an Automation Engineer, an Electrical Engineer, plus a couple of contractors.

**Travel**: This is circa **10% to 15%** of the time, all expenses paid. Plus, you’ll get a credit card to use.

So, an estimate for travel is:

- Day Trips: once every 2 weeks.
- Overnight Trips: once a month.
- 1 to 2 Week Trips: once every 3 to 4 months, if that

This seems like a doable level of travel for a lot of people.

**Hours**: This is a permanent role, with a standard 40-hour work week Monday to Friday.

**Salary Role**: This is a salary role with a competitive range. And if you work long one day you can come in later the next day.

**Work Environment**: You will have your own workstation, laptop & screens, and mobile phone. You will also be next to a workshop area so that you’re close to the physical equipment you will work on.

**Work Location**: After some time in the role there may be some flexibility to WFH. But predominantly this is an in-office role, with some client site visits.

**Reason for Hiring**: The person in this role currently is relocating out of Auckland to live in a smaller town.

**Does this sound like you?**

**Must Have’s**
- Programming experience in most of these languages: C#, VB, Python, C++, SQL
- Industrial Controls: PLC (Ladder + Structured Text), HMI, SCADA
- Drives: VSD’s and Servo’s
- Networking and Communication Protocols

**Nice to Have’s**
- Electrician or EST or Degree background
- CMSE (Note: Someone else on the team is receiving training on this)
- Knowledge of Electrical CAD drawings (EPLAN is used here)
- Robotics
- Machine Vision

**How to Apply**

Technical Recruitment Solutions has been a trusted recruitment specialist company since 1996.
