* Train and develop cross-functional teams to build site capability.
* Establish and manage test rigs for system validation and testing.
* Ensure all work complies with food safety, legality, authenticity, and quality standards.

What we are looking for
* Strong experience with Siemens PLCs, HMIs, SCADA, and industrial automation systems.
* Proven ability to modify and test PLC and control systems.
* Familiarity with process control communication networks and IT architectures.
* Experience working with low and extra-low voltage systems.
* Knowledge of SAP, MES, Wonderware, and industrial network management.
* Ability to support and lead on system fault finding, upgrades, and configuration management.
