- Understand industrial Ethernet architecture, switches, gateways, and communication interfaces.

D. Site Commissioning and International Project Execution
- Independently execute PLC/SCADA commissioning at industrial customer sites in India and overseas.
- Perform Factory Acceptance Testing (FAT), Site Acceptance Testing (SAT), I/O checks, loop checks, functional testing, and system validation.
- Verify field-to-PLC signals, PLC logic, SCADA values, alarms, equipment status, interlocks, and control commands.




- Coordinate with customer teams, electrical contractors, instrumentation teams, and other project stakeholders.
- Identify and resolve commissioning issues while ensuring safe and reliable system operation.
- Prepare commissioning reports, punch lists, test records, and project handover documentation.
- Travel internationally as required for project commissioning, troubleshooting, maintenance, and technical support.

E. Troubleshooting and Technical Support
- Diagnose and resolve complex PLC, SCADA, HMI, industrial communication, instrumentation, and control system issues.
- Identify root causes of system failures and implement corrective actions.
- Troubleshoot digital and analog I/O signals, sensors, transmitters, actuators, VFDs, and field communication issues.
- Provide remote and in office technical support to customers.
- Handle system upgrades, modifications, migrations, and restoration of existing automation systems.

F. Project Ownership and Technical Leadership
- Independently manage assigned automation projects or major technical work packages from engineering through commissioning and handover.
- Review project requirements, prepare technical solutions, estimate engineering effort, and identify implementation risks.
- Coordinate with internal engineering, software development, electrical, panel manufacturing, and project management teams.
- Track project progress, resolve technical dependencies, and ensure completion within agreed timelines.
- Guide junior engineers and review their PLC programs, SCADA applications, and commissioning work.
- Communicate project status, technical challenges, and proposed solutions to management and customers.

3. Mandatory Technical Requirements The candidate must demonstrate practical,



hands-on experience in the following areas:
- Independent PLC programming, modification, and troubleshooting.
- SCADA/HMI development, including graphics, alarms, trends, and PLC communication.
- Industrial commissioning, functional testing, and customer-site troubleshooting.
- Industrial communication protocols and PLC–SCADA integration.
- Interpretation of electrical drawings, P&IDs;, I/O lists, and control documentation.
- Diagnosis of real-world instrumentation, I/O, network, and control system faults.
- Independent execution and ownership of automation projects.

Candidates with experience limited to PLC/SCADA operation, monitoring, or basic maintenance without independent engineering and commissioning experience will not meet the core requirements of this role.
