Control Systems Engineer

ANDRITZ has an immediate opportunity for a skilled Control Systems Engineer to support the design, development, and delivery of industrial automation and control system solutions. In this role, you will work collaboratively with multidisciplinary project teams to design and implement robust, reliable, and maintainable control systems for complex industrial applications.

You will play a key role in developing control system architecture, programming and integration, supporting procurement and vendor activities, and providing commissioning and start-up support, while ensuring alignment with technical standards, safety requirements, and customer expectations. This position is ideal for an engineer who combines strong system-level expertise with hands-on experience and thrives in dynamic project environments.

What You Will Be Doing

Here’s an overview of your responsibilities and how you can leverage your expertise:

• Perform site assessments and evaluate existing control systems to define scope, risks, and technical approach
• Develop control system designs, including system architecture, control philosophies, and functional specifications (PLC/DCS/SCADA)
• Design, configure, and support PLC, DCS, and HMI/SCADA systems, including control logic, interlocks, and alarm management strategies
• Prepare and maintain engineering deliverables such as control narratives, I/O lists, control system architecture diagrams, and functional design specifications
• Coordinate control system integration, including I/O assignments, communications, and interfaces with third-party systems
• Support procurement activities by reviewing vendor control system packages, technical submittals, and FAT documentation
• Collaborate with process, electrical, mechanical, and construction teams to ensure alignment between control strategies and system design
• Provide field support during construction, commissioning, and start-up, including system checkout, loop verification, troubleshooting, and performance validation
• Develop and execute commissioning and acceptance documentation, including FAT/SAT procedures and system turnover documentation
• Ensure control systems are implemented and commissioned in accordance with project requirements, standards, and best practices
• Adhere to company safety standards, including the ANDRITZ Life-Saving Rules, and promote a strong safety culture
• Demonstrate and reinforce #1ANDRITZway core values and behaviors in all aspects of work

What We’re Looking For

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical, Automation, or Controls Engineering (or related discipline)
• Minimum of five (5) years’ experience in control systems engineering within industrial environments
• Strong experience with PLC, DCS, and/or SCADA systems, including configuration, programming, and system integration
• Experience developing control system deliverables such as functional design specifications, control narratives, and I/O lists
• Proven experience supporting commissioning and start-up, including system troubleshooting and performance validation
• Solid understanding of industrial control system architecture, communications, and interfaces
• Excellent interpersonal, verbal, and written communication skills
• Ability to work independently and collaboratively within project teams
• Willingness to travel domestically and internationally to support site activities
• Fluency in English is required; Arabic language skills are a strong asset

Nice to Have

• Experience in mining, mineral processing, or other heavy industrial environments
• Hands-on experience with major control platforms (e.g., Siemens, Rockwell/Allen-Bradley, ABB, Emerson, Honeywell)
• Experience participating in FAT/SAT and commissioning control systems
• Understanding of industrial networks and communication protocols (e.g., Modbus, Ethernet/IP, Profibus)
• Knowledge of functional safety concepts (e.g., SIL / IEC 61511)
• Exposure to advanced control strategies or optimization systems is an asset
