From the Automation Engineers I have talked to, many are attracted to working for an OEM like this company. You will be able to take ownership of the company products, and delivering custom projects with these products, customising a solution for a customer and their particular site. Many Automation Engineers also like working with automated machinery, and that's what you will do here. This role is a good blend between design work in the office and getting on site at project commissioning time, the best of both worlds.
With the increase of automation and robotics, this company have a solid pipeline of projects with a particularly large project on the horizon and they are hiring to meet that market demand for their products.
So, in sum, this is an interesting job in this sector, with an established, still growing, and publicly listed progressive company.
Note: Applicants for this position should be Citizens or Residents of Australia or New Zealand.
