Some imagine the future. At SEGULA, we build it.
Mission
- Plan and manage on-site electrical installation and commissioning activities for automation and robotics systems, from site preparation through to customer handover.
- Lead and coordinate commissioning of PLC-based control systems (e.g. Siemens, Beckhoff TwinCAT/TwinSAFE) and industrial robots (e.g. FANUC, KUKA, ABB) in line with project schedules.
- Supervise and coordinate electrical subcontractors and partner companies on site, ensuring quality, safety, and schedule commitments are met.
- Act as the customer’s on-site point of contact, managing expectations, reporting progress, and resolving technical and organizational issues as they arise.
- Ensure all installations meet applicable European machinery and electrical safety regulations, and coordinate the required functional and safety checks and certifications prior to handover.
- Oversee risk assessments and functional safety validation (e.g. SISTEMA, ISO 13849-1, IEC 62061) for machinery and safety-related control systems.
- Manage site documentation: as-built records, test protocols, CE marking documentation, and technical files required for customer sign-off.
- Identify and escalate technical risks, deviations, and change requests, working closely with project management and engineering teams.
- Support punch-list resolution, final acceptance testing (FAT/SAT), and ramp-up support after go-live.
- Enforce site safety rules and ensure compliance with customer-specific HSE requirements at all times.
Profile
- Degree or technical qualification in Electrical Engineering, Automation, Mechatronics, or a comparable field (or equivalent professional experience).
- Several years of hands-on experience in electrical installation and commissioning of industrial automation and robotics systems.
- Strong practical background with PLC systems (e.g. Siemens TIA Portal, Beckhoff TwinCAT) and industrial robot integration and commissioning (e.g. FANUC, KUKA, ABB).
- Very good working knowledge of the EU Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC and the required conformity assessment and certification processes for machinery placed on the European market; familiarity with the incoming Machinery Regulation (EU) 2023/1230, which applies from 20 January 2027, is an advantage.
- Solid understanding of the relevant European regulatory and standards landscape, including CE marking, the Low Voltage Directive, EMC Directive, and functional safety standards (ISO 13849-1, IEC 62061, EN ISO 12100).
- Prior experience managing or coordinating subcontractors/partner companies on industrial sites.
- Experience working with or for automotive OEMs and/or aerospace manufacturing is highly valued.
- Valid driving license (Class B) — required.
- Willingness and ability to travel extensively and on short notice to customer sites across Europe — required.
- Fluent English required; German and/or French are a strong plus.
