About The Position

This is not a typical project management role! We are looking for a technically grounded engineer who can own the full lifecycle of automation projects – from identifying opportunities with clients, through design and development, to on-site commissioning and handover. You will be building and maintaining client relationships, uncovering new project opportunities, and translating client needs into actionable proposals and technical solutions. You will collaborate closely with Grantek’s engineering team to deliver projects across a range of industrial automation technologies. With mentoring and development from senior leadership, you will grow into a role where you can confidently take a project from conception through to delivery.

Successful or upcoming completion of B.Sc. Computer Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mechatronics, Computer Science, or related Engineering Technology degree.
At least 8-10 years of demonstrated hands-on experience with Rockwell Automation PlantPAx DCS and Studio 5000 Logix Designer is strongly preferred.
Familiarity with PlantPAx process objects, alarm management, and batch control is a significant asset.
Understanding of process control fundamentals including PID loop tuning, regulatory control, and batch process sequencing.
Interest or experience in project management, including scheduling, budgeting, and resource coordination.
Strong interpersonal and communication skills – you will be client-facing, representing Grantek locally, and will need to build trust and credibility with client engineering and management teams.
Ability to evaluate client needs and translate them into clear, well-structured technical proposals.
Self-motivated, organized, and comfortable working independently while collaborating with a distributed engineering team.
