ROLE An experienced automation engineer with a marine background, who can read P&IDs and configure graphics and datapoints using InkScape or similar.

• Experience with InkScape
• Proven ability with WINMON would be desirable.
• Knowledge of HMI design.
• Familiarity with SCADA or DCS control systems.
• Familiarity with P&ID drawings.
• Experience of structured programming languages an advantage e.g. C, C++, Structured Text.
• Competent in computer technology and Ethernet network.
• Ability to work well within a team whilst at the same time demonstrating initiative and the ability to work without supervision.
• Ability to interpret complex documents
• Low level programming is a requirement, along with network experience.

ROLE Deep understanding of programming languages such as C/C++, Structured Text (ST), etc. and must be open to learn the WINMON language.

The automation coder should ideally have experience in the marine industry and / or an understanding of marine type approval (DNV/LV)

WinMon language should be transferable skills with somebody who has a C/C++ background.

ROLE Functional Design Specification (FDS) and mainly specifications for the client systems.

The FDS engineer must have a deep understanding of automation design.

The FDS design engineer should have experience in the marine industry and/or an understanding of marine type approval (DNV/LV)

Automation experience and be capable of writing Functional Design Specifications.

ROLE The implementor should have a fundamental knowledge in programming with Codesys as well as in all corresponding programming languages e.g. Structured text.

• Knowledge of PLC application software design and architecture
• Understanding of propulsion control systems and corresponding components is required (PLC SPS , Panels, ethernet routers and switches, etc.)
• Deep understanding of OPC/UA especially regarding the implementation of communication signals.
• Ability to work with agile software development processes such as Scrum and respective tools e.g. JIRA.
• An automation engineer with a marine background, who has experience of Codesys or similar).
• PLC background would be acceptable, ideally with exposure to OPC UA server/client connectivity

ROLE Detailed Design Engineer incl. Documentation

The detailed design engineers must know how to write a technical document including supporting activities

Knowledge of implementing System Safety e.g. FMEA, FMECA, Risk Analysis, etc.

Knowledge of Functional Safety specifically IEC61508

Understanding of ISO 9001 and relevant processes
