• Create system documentation (FDS, control narratives, test plans, electrical diagrams)
• Lead FAT, on-site commissioning, troubleshooting, and optimization
• Ensure compliance with safety, quality, and electrical standards
• Coordinate with process, mechanical, and electrical teams throughout the project

• 10+ years in industrial automation/PLC engineering
• Proven background in process automation (preferably water/wastewater)
• Hands-on experience with VFDs, industrial networks (Profinet, Modbus), and instrumentation
• Ability to design control architecture and lead full lifecycle from concept to commissioning
• Strong understanding of electrical principles, panel design, and safety standards
• Excellent problem-solving and documentation skills
• English level: Upper-Intermediate or higher
