* Programming PLC systems (especially Allen-Bradley and Omron) for sequence control, interlocks, automation logic and PLC Safety.
* Configuring and deploying modern SCADA systems — ideally Ignition — for real-time visibility, alarming, and reporting.
* Liaising with clients, suppliers, and project teams to define requirements and ensure quality delivery.
* Providing ongoing support to operations and maintenance teams — with a focus on reliability, safety, and usability.
* Staying current with regulatory standards (e.g. AS3000, AS4024) and industry best practices in controls and automation.
