You will lead a team of Commissioning Engineers, coordinate stakeholders, and ensure that delivery meets both engineering and software integration standards.
Lead commissioning and acceptance of new installations and retrofit projects (mechanical, electrical, control, and software-integrated systems).
Oversee deployment and integration of control software, interfaces, and data-driven applications.
Act as the primary technical contact for clients, vendors, and internal development teams.
Ensure that commissioned systems meet performance, reliability, and integration requirements.
Manage a team of commissioning engineers across multiple EU sites.
Coordinate testing, issue resolution, and snag list closure.
Support transition of commissioned systems into ongoing application management and support environments.
Deliver project reports, documentation, and client-facing updates.
Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical, Mechanical, Automation, or Software Engineering.
7+ years of experience in industrial automation, system commissioning, or software deployment.
Understanding of system integration principles, APIs, or application-level interfaces.
Proven leadership and stakeholder management experience.
Strong communication and problem-solving skills.
Fluent in English (other European languages are an advantage).
Willingness to travel extensively across Europe.
Work on high-impact projects combining automation and software system deployment.
Opportunity to collaborate with cross-functional teams, from engineering to software operations.
Competitive compensation and travel package.
Clear career growth path toward technical program management or application delivery leadership.
A dynamic, technology-driven environment where hardware meets software.
