  • Testing and Validation: Conduct Factory Acceptance Tests (FAT) and Site Acceptance Tests (SAT) to verify that automation systems meet performance specifications.
  • Site Support: Participate in equipment startup at manufacturing sites and update specifications based on insights gained during startup and technological advancements.
  • Continuous Learning: Maintain up-to-date professional and technical knowledge by attending workshops and reviewing industry publications, while adhering to all safety regulations.

Position requires up to 40% travel

  • Project Management: Proven experience managing programs, with a solid understanding of change management principles and methodologies.
