This is a role for someone who wants to keep developing — technically, professionally and potentially into future leadership.

n

Develop beyond traditional electrical work into PLCs, SCADA, instrumentation, networking and control systems

n

The Role

n

As a Senior Automation Technician, you'll play a key role in delivering industrial electrical, automation and control systems support to our customers.





n

This is a hands-on, trade-based automation role.

n

It is ideally suited to an experienced industrial electrician who has developed strong control systems and fault-finding capability and wants to continue progressing deeper into industrial automation.

n

Your work will include:

n

PLC and control system fault-finding

n

SCADA and HMI troubleshooting

n

Industrial electrical breakdown support

n

Diagnosing complex electrical and automation faults

Working directly with customers to resolve critical operational issues

n

Supporting automation projects and continuous improvement initiatives

n

Identifying opportunities to improve plant reliability and performance

n

No two weeks will look exactly the same.

n

One week you may be diagnosing a PLC-controlled production issue, the next commissioning instrumentation on a new project, upgrading an existing control system or supporting a customer with an industrial breakdown.

n

If you enjoy fault-finding, variety and solving problems, you'll enjoy this role.

n

About You

n

You're an experienced electrical tradesperson who enjoys the technical side of industrial electrical work.

n

You're comfortable working independently, but you also enjoy being part of a team.

n

When equipment stops, you're the type of person who wants to understand why it stopped, find the fault and get it running properly again.

n

You communicate well with customers, take pride in the quality of your work and are always looking to improve your knowledge.

n

Ideally, you'll bring:

n

A-Grade Electrical Licence – essential

n

n

Strong diagnostic and problem-solving skills

n

Good communication skills when dealing with customers and other trades

n

A proactive, solutions-focused attitude

n

The ability to take ownership and see a problem through to completion

n

Most importantly, we're looking for someone with the right attitude, strong fundamentals and a genuine desire to keep learning.

n

You don't need to know every automation platform or technology on day one.

n

What's in It for You?

n

We want IoTics to be somewhere good people can build a long-term career.

n

You'll receive:

n

Competitive salary package

Fully maintained company vehicle
