Provide technical support to the Taupo site Automation Engineer as required, generally delivered remotely, including troubleshooting assistance, program reviews and backup on automation-related issues.

What You'll Bring

5-7+ years' experience in an industrial manufacturing environment with a strong focus on automation, process control, and plant reliability.
Qualification in Electrical Engineering, Automation Engineering, Mechatronics, or a related discipline, together with current Electrical Registration.
Proven experience with Allen-Bradley and Siemens PLCs, including programming, troubleshooting, fault finding, and system optimisation.
Strong knowledge of industrial automation, instrumentation, SCADA, HMI, and process control systems.
Demonstrated ability to diagnose and resolve complex automation, control system, and equipment performance issues within a manufacturing environment.
Strong root cause analysis (RCA), problem-solving, and troubleshooting skills, with a focus on reducing downtime and improving operational performance.
A proactive approach to continuous improvement, preventative maintenance, and operational efficiency.
Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills, with the ability to collaborate effectively across production, maintenance, and engineering teams.
A strong commitment to health, safety, and compliance within a manufacturing environment.

Why Join Laminex?

In return, you'll enjoy a competitive salary, ongoing professional development, a supportive team culture, and the stability of a well-established business, all while working regular Monday to Friday hours that support a healthy work-life balance.
