Do you have a passion about implementing and improving Manufacturing Execution Systems and Manufacturing IT? Would you like to work for a growing global company with an international culture?

As part of the MES Team and project Teams, the Senior System Engineer makes a qualitative contribution to the project within their area of expertise by working independently. The aim is to help ensure that the delivery of a project is completed properly within the predetermined time and scope.

By engaging with the client, you identify their expectations and needs. You help think about effective and efficient solutions for the client and translate these into a customized program.

What you will do:

• Develop effective and efficient software and technical specifications that meet the client’s expectations and needs.
• Draw up documentation on the activities carried out within the framework of the project.
• Supervise System Engineers within the project to make sure everyone makes a qualitative contribution to the project within their expertise under your guidance.
• Ensure the predetermined planning and procedures are respected.
• Attend project meetings always aiming to achieve consensus on the most effective and efficient solution for the client.
• Hold a techno‑commercial role (10% of the time) to assist in defining project scope with the Sales Team and budgeting the actual costs as realistically as possible.

What we expect from our new colleague:

• An active person eager to learn and excel in your duties.
• A responsible person, taking ownership, result‑driven, and working with the team as one to overcome challenges.
• Execute MES projects worldwide.
• Be able to define technical solutions as a technical expert in order to resolve the needs of our customers.

• Definition of implementation strategies and knowledge on MES architecture solutions is a plus.
• Understanding automation systems (DCS, PLC's, SCADA and Batch Execution systems) is not required but a plus.
• Working with more than one MES Technology is a plus, such as Traksys, Siemens Opcenter Process/Pharma, AVEVA MES.
