Control Systems Integrator or Team Lead

**- Control Systems Integrator or Team Lead Role**
**- Varied sector work with large clients**
**- Very Minimal Travel, local clients**

**The Company**
Our Auckland based client is a well-established Industrial Control Systems Integrator in New Zealand with hiring growth plans this year.

You will join a tight knit team who work on design, install, and service projects that are primarily in or near Auckland.

You will get to work on automation systems across a wide range of different industries and interesting projects, a great place to learn and remain at the pointy end of being a technically savvy systems integrator at the intersection of industrial automation, systems integration, and database / MES type work.

**The Role**
You will need to have a strong existing skillset as a Systems Integrator with the ability to think as an engineer, look at the process and equipment to be automated, convert this process to a well thought out and well-structured code for PLC, HMI & SCADA systems, and be able to work capably and independently on client sites.

As a Systems Integrator you will likely be able to demonstrate experience across a range of automation platforms. For this role we do need specific experience with Rockwell PLC’s, SCADA, and HMI. Experience with Wonderware and/or Citect SCADA packages would be ideal too.

We do need someone who understands process automation as opposed to standalone machinery automation, someone who can develop and program to functional descriptions and integrate control systems with PLC and plant wide SCADA systems, an experienced ‘jack of all automation’ type of person.

You will be given independence to run your own jobs, talk to clients directly, and will need to be someone comfortable and happy with going to a client site to do project work, troubleshoot and work on existing systems. Systems Integrators are continuously working in different environments, on different processes, and working on code written by different people, so you need to be someone who can adapt and work with this level of variety and complexity, work your way through it, and make the relevant programming design decisions and modifications.

Team Leadership: If this sounds like you but you also want to take on a Team Lead role too then get in touch too as the company are hiring for this role too. And if you want to move to Hamilton as a Team Lead this is an option too. So plenty of options here.
