Industrial Automation Engineer - Pharma Industry

About the position

Can you imagine driving global automation standards across international pharmaceutical manufacturing sites?

Join our expert team to work on a global industrial automation program, contributing to the enablement of scalable automation practices across multiple manufacturing sites. You will apply your knowledge of industrial automation ecosystems, digital transformation and implementation frameworks to promote consistency, collaboration and reusable best practices.

At ERNI, you are never just a number. Even if you work on an external project, you will feel part of the team and always supported.

How do we make this happen?

With people. Besides your team and manager, you will have several support figures like a godparent, who will help you with the practical and administrative aspects of daily life during your first 6 months.

And the second most important person after you, your mentor, who will guide you through your entire onboarding and career at ERNI. You will have regular 1:1 meetings with them, and recurrently, you will work on your development plan to define your short-, medium-, and long-term goals.

At ERNI, we highly value experience and technical knowledge. As a senior profile, you will have the space to continue growing, whether by deepening your technical skills or having greater influence on project decisions, with autonomy and the opportunity to share knowledge with other experts.

And if you are interested in mentoring, there is also space for that: supporting other ERNIans while still focusing on the technical excellence that sets us apart.

What you will bring

Strong experience with industrial automation environments including PLC, SCADA, MES and OT/IT integration.

Experience participating in multi site automation or digital transformation initiatives within manufacturing.

Ability to create implementation playbooks, readiness assessments, templates and operational checklists.

Strong stakeholder management and communication skills in global cross functional environments.

Advanced English, both written and spoken.

You will be responsible for supporting the adoption of automation across multiple manufacturing sites by defining common ways of working, readiness criteria and reusable implementation assets. You will facilitate collaboration between global teams, promote knowledge sharing across sites and help translate automation standards into execution ready guidance while supporting program governance.

What if the project ends?

We work on a wide variety of projects, technologies, and sectors, allowing you to keep growing in different environments. If a project ends or you feel ready for a new challenge, we will find another one that aligns with your professional development.
