Automation Engineer

Hoe zal je bijdragen en groeien in deze functie?

 

As an Automation Engineer, you will serve as the strategic and technical bridge between industrial plant operations, automation infrastructure, and digital security. Operating within the Operations Support Team, your mission is to modernize legacy control systems, drive the IT/OT technology roadmap, and support our industrial operations to comply with emerging European cybersecurity standards (NIS2). You will take technical ownership of system revamp initiatives across our Rozenburg and Pernis sites, while collaborating with local engineering teams and supporting long-term strategy across other sites in the Benelux.

While the role is focused on the IT/OT landscape, you will also have the opportunity to provide support with small process control changes based on your interest and development goals.

 

Key Responsibilities

The engineer will focus on these critical strategic pillars:

• Develop and coordinate the deployment of an IT/OT roadmap.

• Manage the lifecycle of OT assets, focusing on the identification and replacement of obsolete components.

• Participate in FAT/SAT for new OT infrastructure and software integrations.

• Implementation of cybersecurity measures (MFA, network segregation, logging) across DCS/PLC environments.

• Coordinate with cluster teams for global cybersecurity policy alignment.

• Assist with small process control logic adjustments and HMI configuration as needed by the site.
