- Supporting and accompanying the commissioning of new automated production systems and processes
- Taking on on-call duty for one week at a time, at most every two months, to ensure smooth production operations
What you bring with you…
- Completed basic training as an automation technician EFZ or electrical installer EFZ, ideally supplemented by further training at HF level
- At least 2–3 years of professional experience in automation, PLC programming, or industrial process automation
- Good knowledge of programming Siemens PLC and HMI systems
- Very good German language skills in spoken and written form, and ideally good English skills are an advantage
