About the job
Do you have solid experience with PLC programming and preferably in Siemens TIA Portal, and do you thrive in translating technical solutions into practice – both at the desk and out with our customers? Do you want to be part of a growing company where you get responsibility, professional challenges and good colleagues?
Then you might be our new experienced project engineer for Init in Svendborg.
About the position
As a project engineer at Init you will be a central part of the development and implementation of tailor-made automation solutions for our customers. You will work with projects of varying sizes and complexities and follow them all the way from the initial technical clarifications to commissioning and handover.
We are looking for a profile who both has the technical weight to program and troubleshoot complex PLC solutions – and the practical understanding that also makes you willing to participate in on-site work when tests are performed, faults are found or the plant is commissioned/run-in.
Your primary tasks will include, among others
- Design, programming and implementation of PLC-based automation solutions in Siemens TIA Portal
- Troubleshooting, maintenance and optimization of existing automation plants
- Commissioning, testing and documentation of plants at customers
- Technical dialogue and close collaboration with customers, colleagues and suppliers
- Participation in projects within, among other things, industry, energy and utilities
- Contributing to the development of robust, reliable and user-friendly solutions
The position involves travel for projects and commissioning.
Who are you?
We imagine that you have at least five years of experience with automation projects and PLC programming – and preferably in Siemens TIA Portal. You have a practical and solution-oriented approach to your work and are used to taking responsibility for both technical details and the overall task.
You preferably have an electrical engineering background, for example as
- Automation technologist
- Automation technician
- Mechanical engineer
- Engineer
- Electrician
- Or another relevant technical education and practical experience
In addition, we would like you to
- Have solid experience with PLC programming in Siemens TIA Portal
- Have knowledge of SCADA solutions – it is an advantage but not a requirement
- Have practical experience from installation, assembly, switchboard, field equipment or commissioning
- Be able to work independently and maintain an overview in complex projects
- Thrive with both office work, customer dialogue and hands-on tasks at the plant
- Communicate well in Danish and English
- Be a team player who is happy to share knowledge and brainstorm with colleagues
Why choose Init?
At Init in Svendborg you will become part of a strong technical environment with skilled colleagues, short decision paths and an informal tone. We work closely together to deliver high-quality solutions and help each other when tasks demand it.
We offer among other things
- An independent role with responsibility and influence on your own projects
- Varied automation tasks where theory and practice go hand in hand
- Good opportunities for professional and personal development
- A strong collegial community and a work environment with room to grow
- A competitive salary package with attractive staff benefits
- Social events such as barbecue evenings, gaming evenings and ski trips
