Climatech Zero delivers industrial energy productivity projects that reduce energy use, operating costs and emissions. We combine engineering, industrial data and practical delivery to produce measurable outcomes for large energy users.

The Role

We are seeking an experienced engineer to lead the design and delivery assurance of industrial metering, controls and data-acquisition systems. You will translate operational, project and measurement and verification (M&V;) requirements into practical designs, then coordinate clients, internal teams, Cool Planet Operating System (CPOS) and specialist contractors to deliver reliable, accessible data.

This is primarily a technical leadership and delivery-oversight role rather than a PLC programming, procurement or project-administration position. It suits someone who understands industrial processes, instrumentation and operational technology, and can scope, direct, challenge and accept work delivered by others.

Responsibilities

Pre-Project / Advisory Phase

- Assess industrial processes, instrumentation, PLC/SCADA systems, networks and available data
- Develop multi-utility metering strategies and select instrumentation for electricity, gas, water, steam, compressed air and process variables
- Prepare functional descriptions, point lists, integration scopes and acceptance criteria
- Review PLC and historian tag exports to identify useful operational, energy and M&V; data
- Support Solutions Team with process and energy-improvement opportunities identified through site and data work

Project Delivery Phase

- Define installation, communications, naming, metadata, sampling and source-traceability requirements
- Provide technical oversight of CPOS and third-party integration delivery, including review of contractor designs and submissions
- Lead commissioning, data validation, fault diagnosis, acceptance testing and handover
- Coordinate client operations, engineering, IT/OT, project and contractor stakeholders

Post-Project / Operational Support

- Maintain site architecture,



commissioning and operational-support standards
- Standardise repeatable metering, integration and troubleshooting approaches
- Apply automation and AI to accelerate tag selection, documentation, validation and quality assurance
- Support asset-performance monitoring, performance guarantees, M&V; and continuous improvement

Skills and Experience

- A degree in mechanical, mechatronics, electrical, controls, process or systems engineering, or equivalent experience
- Minimum 7 years’ relevant experience in industrial instrumentation, controls, automation, operational technology or process engineering
- Experience developing technical scopes and coordinating integration specialists or contractors
- Practical understanding of PLCs, SCADA, industrial and cloud data architectures including databases, historians, APIs and secure OT-to-cloud data transfer
- Familiarity with Ignition and protocols such as Modbus RTU/TCP, MQTT, OPC-UA and BACnet
- Experience selecting and delivering industrial metering and instrumentation
- Strong commissioning, troubleshooting, technical-documentation and client-communication skills
- Ability to maintain technical accountability without personally implementing every component

Willingness to travel to industrial sites

Helpful, but not essential

- SQL, Python, Power BI or industrial data-analysis experience
- Industrial energy efficiency, IPMVP/M&V; or continuous-commissioning exposure
- OT networking, remote access or cybersecurity knowledge
- Capital-project delivery and AI-enabled engineering workflow experience
- Familiarity with modern data platforms (e.g. MS Azure) including virtual machines, networking, identity/access, cloud data services and pipelines

Why Join Climatech Zero

- Work across diverse Australian industrial facilities and technologies
- Shape how industrial data, metering and integration projects are delivered
- Combine process engineering, instrumentation, controls and data
- Contribute to measurable energy, reliability and decarbonisation outcomes
- Join a team-oriented team with scope to develop technical and strategic interests
