We are currently working with an established organization specializing in industrial automation and systems integration that is looking for an experienced Senior Automation Specialist to join its team in Cambridge, Ontario.

THE ROLE

If you are an experienced automation professional with strong Siemens PLC programming, HMI programming, robot integration, and commissioning experience, this is an excellent opportunity to take on a senior, hands-on technical role working on custom automation projects.

The Senior Automation Specialist will be involved throughout the project lifecycle, including controls development, PLC and HMI programming, robotic integration, testing, troubleshooting, installation, startup, and commissioning.

This position requires someone who can work independently on complex automation systems while collaborating with mechanical, electrical, controls, and project teams. As a senior member of the group, you will also provide technical guidance and mentorship to less experienced team members.

The successful candidate must have strong hands-on Siemens PLC experience, along with direct experience programming and integrating industrial robots. Travel is limited to moderate and will primarily occur during customer installations, startup, and commissioning.
