About the client
Our client is an established Italian industrial manufacturing company with approximately 250 employees and a highly automated production environment operating around the clock.
The company is continuing to strengthen its Plant Engineering function and is looking for an Automation & Electrical Systems Engineer to provide additional expertise across PLC automation, electrical systems and production machinery.
Position description
This is a hands‑on engineering position, ideal for someone who enjoys working directly with industrial machinery rather than spending all their time behind a desk.
Reporting to the Head of Plant Engineering, you will help ensure the continuity and reliability of production lines while developing, modifying and troubleshooting electrical and automation systems.
Your responsibilities will include:
Programming and troubleshooting PLCs, primarily Siemens TIA Portal and Omron
Developing and modifying HMI/operator interfaces
Designing and modifying electrical schematics and control panels
Diagnosing complex faults and production‑line downtime through PLC analysis
Supporting electrical maintenance technicians with automation‑related issues
Working directly on machinery when required, including sensors, electrical components and control equipment
Supporting machine upgrades, revamping, commissioning and new production configurations
Working with equipment manufacturers and suppliers on technical solutions
Maintaining electrical and automation documentation
Contributing to improvements in productivity, safety, reliability and energy efficiency
What we're looking for:
PLC programming – Siemens TIA Portal and/or Omron
HMI programming
Industrial automation and electrical systems
Reading and creating electrical schematics
PLC Safety and electrical safety
Profinet industrial networks
Inverters / variable-frequency drives
Hands‑on troubleshooting of automated industrial machinery
English is required at least at a level sufficient to understand technical documentation.
Working Setup:
This is an on‑site position in Sabbioneta. Standard working hours are approximately 08:00–17:00, but due to the 24‑hour production environment, some flexibility outside normal hours is required when critical automation issues arise.
Candidates should ideally live within approximately 30–40 km of the facility and be able to reach the site within around one hour in case of an urgent technical issue.
Why Join?
You'll work in a technically varied manufacturing environment covering process automation, Industry 4.0/5.0 technologies, electrical infrastructure, industrial networks and multiple types of production and auxiliary systems. The position also offers a clear development opportunity: over the next 3–5 years, the right person could progress towards a position with greater technical and managerial responsibility within the Electrical Engineering function.
