Purpose of the Role

A TPM in the automation industry leads complex, cross‑functional technical programs involving industrial automation systems such as PLC, SCADA, DCS, Robotics, IIoT, MES, and smart manufacturing platforms.

The TPM acts as a bridge between engineering, operations, customers, and leadership, ensuring projects are delivered on time, within scope, and with technical excellence.
