• Full-system design & automation for food and beverage facilities — including batching, packaging, and traceability.
• Gas network SCADA upgrade projects, including secure communications, remote telemetry, and high-availability architecture.
• Critical infrastructure upgrades involving protection systems, PLC/SCADA replacements, and safety system design.

• A qualified Electrical or Controls Engineer with at least 5 years of industry experience. RPEQ Ideally.
• Comfortable across both control system design and hands-on commissioning.
• Proficient with PLC programming (Allen-Bradley and/or Omron preferred).
• Experienced in SCADA development, with Ignition SCADA highly regarded.
• Skilled in reading and producing electrical schematics using CAD tools.
• A strong communicator who enjoys solving real problems with clients and trades.
• Knowledgeable of key Australian standards and industrial safety requirements.

• Competitive salary with bonus potential based on performance and project delivery.
