• SCADA, HMI, and PLC programming (ST, FBD) and commissioning
• Network and gateway configuration and commissioning
• Engaging with customers to determine specifications
• Working primarily with switchgear and other HW for monitoring and control
• Test and commissioning on site
  
  

What will help you succeed in this role?

As a person, you are driven by learning new things and eager to develop your professional skills as an Automation Engineer. You are proactive and independent, but you also know how to collaborate within a team. You have to be passionate about the work and about creating the best solution possible.

We are looking for you, who is also willing to travel occasionally, as an important part of your daily tasks is to be in contact with customers and project managers, and to make visits for SAT and commissioning. Furthermore, you should be able to communicate in both English and Danish since you will be working with local clients.

• Electrical engineering

• Dealing with technical clients, preferably in the field of power distribution
• Working independently with automation projects
