This Senior Automation Engineer will play a key role in managing control system upgrades, representing our client across the project lifecycle and supervising vendor-led activities.

- Supervise automation vendor activities across FES, quotation, project execution, FAT, commissioning, and SAT
- Work closely with the site team to validate and sign off each stage of the migration and project delivery process
- Contribute to wider VPE (Vaccines, Pharmaceutical, Enzymes) automation projects, including skids and panel upgrades (e.g., S7-1500 & WinCC)
- Ensure projects are delivered safely, on time, and to the highest technical standards

The Person:

- Degree qualified in Engineering, Automation, or a relevant discipline

- Familiar with Rockwell (RSLogix/Studio 5000), Siemens S7, and Schneider control platforms
- Proven experience in system migrations and project supervision
- Strong communication and vendor management skills
- Ideally based near Dublin or within a commutable distance to Grange Castle
