- Design control systems and specify and program PLCs, HMIs, robots and servo drives
- Shape Seeley's digital automation roadmap with senior stakeholders
- Train operators and build in-house robotics capability
What you'll bring
Essential
- A Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering
- 5+ years in electrical engineering and industrial automation in a manufacturing or operational environment
- At least one automation project you've personally taken from business case to commissioning
- Hands-on programming experience with PLCs (Allen-Bradley, Siemens or Mitsubishi) and industrial robots
- Working knowledge of HMIs, vision/camera systems, AGVs and barcoding
- Confidence reporting to senior management and aligning automation with business priorities
Desirable
- An unrestricted electrical licence (SA or an interstate equivalent)
Working arrangements
- Office-based, with regular time on the factory floor
- Some intrastate and interstate travel
- Occasional after-hours work during project delivery and commissioning
