Engineering Excellence Manager
As Engineering Excellence Manager, you will raise the quality, consistency and repeatability of the industrial automation and control solutions we engineer for our customers. You will lead the engineering standards, design practices, trusted content and quality gates that our project teams work to, and you will hold the organisation accountable for applying them across process, discrete and hybrid engagements. Your remit covers engineering governance, design assurance, continuous improvement and technical competency development, so that every project starts from content rather than a blank page.
You will have the Engineering Standards and Trusted Content, Design Assurance and Quality, Engineering Continuous Improvement, and Technical Competency and Training functions reporting to you. You will build a engineering chain, assuring the development of technical resources, and preparing the structure to support new delivery strategies as our automation and digital transformation portfolio grows. You will be responsible for resource development, with Engineering Domain Expertise Management.
You will report to the Director of Engineering Delivery and have a hybrid schedule working in Pune, India.
Technical Competency and Training
Lead a team of Technical Leads and Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) across automation domains, providing direction, coaching, performance development, and succession planning to provide a strong and sustainable technical organisation.
Provide leadership and oversight to the Technical Lead and SME community, ensuring technical decision-making, knowledge sharing, and understanding of engineering practices across projects, industries, and regions.
Be a final escalation point for complex technical challenges and cross-domain engineering decisions that require expert judgement and resolution.
Engineering Standards and Trusted Content
This department will be responsible for governing the usage of Trusted Content and standard templates in project execution, and will be the focal point for resolving all critical engineering problems. It will define,



publish and version-control the engineering standards, design templates and reusable control libraries built on Logix controllers, FactoryTalk software and Rockwell Automation reference architectures, so that engineers across the region design from the same proven baseline.
Design Assurance and Quality
This department will maintain engineering quality control by using our Global Quality Management System in the design and delivery of our projects and services. It will operate design reviews and quality gates across the full lifecycle, from functional design specification through factory acceptance testing, site acceptance testing and handover, and will confirm that deliverables meet the applicable functional safety, cybersecurity and industry standards including IEC 61511, IEC 62443, ISA-88 and ISA-95.
Engineering Continuous Improvement
This department will help use Lean, Six Sigma, Agile and other quality methodologies within the engineering community. It will ensure that productivity projects are identified and executed through the year for measurable results, reducing engineering effort per deliverable without conceding quality. It will also introduce tooling that raises productivity, including configuration-driven code generation, automated testing, emulation and disciplined version control, and will own the lessons-learned process so that an issue surfaced on one project becomes standard practice on the next.
Technical Competency and Training
This function is responsible for managing the competency needs of the engineering organisation and for the programmes that feed it. It will maintain a competency framework covering process, discrete, hybrid, safety and information solutions disciplines with clear proficiency levels, run technical training, certification and mentoring from graduate trainee through to technical lead, and work with engineering managers to close skill gaps against the forward order book.
You will act as the senior technical authority for PLC, HMI, SCADA, drives, motion and safety applications, reviewing complex or high-risk designs covering network topology, controller sizing,



redundancy strategy, functional safety and industrial cybersecurity before they reach the customer. You will guide the adoption of Rockwell Automation platforms in delivery engagements, including Studio 5000, FactoryTalk View, FactoryTalk Optix, PlantPAx and Emulate3D, support proposal engineering with technical solution reviews and estimating norms, and represent engineering quality in customer design reviews, audits and escalations.
You will have a bachelor's degree in Electrical, Electronics, Instrumentation, Control Systems or Mechatronics Engineering.
You will have 15 or more years in industrial automation engineering, including experience leading engineering teams, technical governance or an engineering excellence function.
You will understand process and discrete automation and the relevant control systems, with hands-on design and commissioning background across PLC, HMI, SCADA and drive systems.
You will have overseen engineering standards, design reviews or quality systems in a project delivery environment.
You will have experience building technical teams while promoting a culture of collaboration, innovation, and learning.
Provide a quarterly engineering excellence update to leadership.
Fulfilment of important talent development plans across the engineering population.
Manage turnover of necessary technical talent no higher than the turnover of the location.
Lead engineering quality management and reduce rework hours and defects found at site acceptance testing.
Conduct the monthly engineering governance meetings, including the design review board, the trusted content and standards review, and engineering quality reporting.
Support employee engagement, retention, and career development outcomes within the Technical Lead and SME organisation.
Maintain a pipeline of technical talent through coaching, mentoring, succession planning, and career progression of Technical Leads and SMEs.
Our perks package includes …
