- Collaborate with maintenance, quality assurance, and production teams to resolve issues and implement system improvements.
- Conduct I/O checks, **Factory Acceptance Tests (FAT), Site Acceptance Tests (SAT),** and commission control panels and automated lines.
- Maintain detailed documentation, including network diagrams, ladder logic, batch sequences, and validation reports.

**WHAT YOU HAVE**:

- Over 5 years of experience in automation or controls integration within a dairy or food processing environment.
- Proficiency in PLC/HMI programming (preferably Allen-Bradley/Rockwell Automation).

- Advanced skills in technical troubleshooting and documentation management.
- Strong attention to detail and precision.
- A strong sense of responsibility and autonomy.
- Versatility, flexibility, and reliability.

**PREFERRED**:

- Experience with batch control systems and cheese plant automation platforms (e.g., Rockwell PlantPAx, Ignition, Aveva/Wonderware).
- Knowledge of CFIA and SQF standards, dairy traceability systems, and quality data collection.
- Experience integrating automation with MES/ERP systems.

**Status**: Full-time, permanent.
**Work schedule**: Day, evening, weekend rotation*
