Automation Engineer

Automation Engineer

What are you going to do?

The fun and challenging part of this job is that you run the entire project from A to Z: you ask the project requirements; you design; you adjust your design until it is final; you take care of the documentation and you are in contact with the technician on board who will install your design. Besides this challenge, we also expect you to participate in the quality improvement process. You enjoy learning new tooling, but you also think along to improve tooling. You see, we expect a lot from you! But you don't do it alone. You work in a team with 2 more professionals. You work according to the process agreements made in the team. Both working independently and working in a team appeal to you.

In a project you will work on, you could think of: design of a conning screen, a system to operate wipers, deck lighting, ship horn or signaling, searchlight operation, adapted chart configurations, adaptations to software or your own design of an information dashboard on the bridge of a ship.

Your responsibilities:

• Designing conning and alarm systems using various SCADA packages;
• Designing and programming PLC operating systems;
• Preparing required documentation (schematics, design and test plans);
• Transfer to field service of equipment created;
• Managing automation projects on board ships.

• Knowledge of SCADA/HMI applications, knowledge of Citect is an advantage as many old projects are built with it;
• Willingness to learn the new SCADA software Lynx and willing to actively contribute to its improvement;
• Both working in a team and working independently on projects appeals to you;
• Clear communication in Dutch and English
