  • Develop and maintain the organization’s IIoT architecture, digital infrastructure, and automation standards.
  • Design edge-to-cloud data collection, visualization, historian, reporting, and remote-monitoring solutions.
  • Standardize automation architecture, device naming, tag structures, alarm philosophies, and system integration methods across facilities.
  • Identify and implement technologies that improve operational efficiency, plant reliability, uptime, and decision-making.
  • Design, configure, document, and support industrial Ethernet and operational technology network infrastructure.
  • Manage communications among PLCs, RTUs, VFDs, analyzers, instrumentation, HMIs, SCADA platforms, historians, and enterprise systems.
  • Support secure remote connectivity, network segmentation, access controls, backup practices, and cybersecurity standards.
  • Maintain current network diagrams, IP addressing plans, device inventories, and system documentation.
  • Support instrumentation integration, calibration coordination, signal validation, and long-term maintainability of measurement systems.
  • Develop and maintain control narratives, I/O lists, cause-and-effect matrices, alarm lists, and control philosophies.
  • Assist with P&ID reviews, panel design, loop checks, field verification, device checkout, and system integration.
  • Develop preventive, predictive, and corrective maintenance strategies for automation, controls, instrumentation, and industrial network assets.
  • Support root cause investigations and corrective actions for recurring control system, instrumentation, and communication failures.
  • Establish and monitor system health metrics, alarm analytics, downtime reporting, and reliability performance indicators.
  • Train and mentor maintenance and operations personnel on system functionality, troubleshooting techniques, and change-management practices.
  • Lead automation and controls projects from initial concept and scope development through design, procurement, implementation, commissioning, and closeout.
  • Develop project scopes, technical specifications, schedules, budgets, resource plans, and management updates.
  • Coordinate contractors, system integrators, panel builders, vendors, IT resources, and internal stakeholders.
  • Lead or support factory acceptance testing, site acceptance testing, site walkdowns, punch-list resolution, startup planning, and operational turnover.
  • Ensure project deliverables include complete documentation, system backups, as-built drawings, training materials, and operational support requirements.
  • Provide hands-on field support for control panels, industrial network devices, instrumentation, PLCs, HMIs, and SCADA-connected infrastructure.
  • Support emergency troubleshooting and restoration activities involving critical automation or process control systems.
  • Partner with Engineering, Operations, Maintenance, IT/OT, EHS, and external vendors to support capital projects, plant reliability, and continuous improvement initiatives.
  • Evaluate emerging technologies, software platforms, and hardware solutions for operational suitability, cybersecurity alignment, and return on investment.
  • Support regulatory, quality, and internal audit requirements related to automation records, alarm history, data retention, system access, and change documentation.
  • Perform other related automation, controls, project, and technical leadership duties as assigned.
