• You will collaborate closely with team colleagues, suppliers, and users around the world to secure buy-in, improve end results and provide business solutions in a timely manner.

Qualifications

To be successful in this role we expect you to have:

• An educational background within engineering or software/IT.
• An advanced IT skillset and an interest in learning about plant engineering and software.
• A “we” before “I” mentality and a “can do” approach to whatever challenges come your way.

• It is a plus if you have experience with one or more of the following: P&ID, E&IC, Siemens COMOS or other plant engineering software, VBScript or similar, database management, XML or REST API 

As a person, you take initiative naturally and have a strong personal drive and dedication.
