What about the job
Working as an Automation Engineer, you’re an important part in the creation of our new automation platform and you engage in solutions that truly make the difference for our customers. Together with your team, you’re responsible for development and maintenance of our systems, and you’re one of our highly valued experts within the field. You work closely with the R&D department to establish a future roadmap; focusing on digitalization and automation and how we can implement this in our current production and processes.
Building strong networks with internal stakeholders, as well as with external suppliers and contractors is a vital part of your agenda, and this also means that international travel is included in the job. You carry out case studies, test automation and control systems, and contribute with your knowledge in solving complex issues together with our service engineers. On top of this, you represent our department in common technical development activities for Crushing and Screening.
Who you are?
An innovative engineer with strong technical understanding and a couple of years’ experiences from the manufacturing industry. You have deep knowledge of PLC and HMI – especially from Siemens TIA – and know how to analyze and develop features in these applications. A degree in a relevant technical field is an advantage to understand the theoretical parts of your job. Working with us, you’re based locally while collaborating in a global environment, which means you must have great skills in both English and Swedish.
You truly enjoy a challenge and thrive in an ever-changing environment, where your everyday work shifts between innovative technology development back at the office and practical work in our machines. You establish networks that leads to successful collaborations, and you love a setting where you get to share both knowledge and team spirit. Your passion for technology and innovation is something we take for granted, and we think that you enjoy both solving complex problems and explaining your findings to others.
