• Preventive maintenance, fault diagnosis, and service work on control and automation.
• Lead research, coordination, and implementation of MTP (Module Type Package) assessment and integration in Stargate Hydrogen electrolyser systems.
• Work out why a plant actually stopped, not just what the alarm log says.
• Take pride in getting a customer's plant running and keeping it running.
• Pair field service and commissioning experience with strong PLC/IPC programming skills.
• Integrate communication interfaces between hardware in complex systems.

Qualifications

• At least 4 years in industrial automation, including 2 to 3 years of hands-on site and commissioning work.

• Safety PLC programming, including testing and validation of PLC/IPC programs.
• HMI and SCADA programming experience.
• Configuration and parameterisation of variable frequency drives, for example Siemens G120.
• Experience with industrial communication protocols such as PROFINET, EtherCAT, Modbus TCP, OPC UA, and Modbus RTU.
• Ability to write structured, maintainable code, using object-oriented or structured programming practice.
• Ability to read and interpret electrical and mechanical drawings and P&ID diagrams.
• English at a high level, spoken and written.
• Finnish at a good working level, enough to run site work and customer handover in Finnish.

Requirements

• Exposure to MTP (VDI/VDE/NAMUR 2658) or other emerging automation standards.
• Web technologies for HMI development (HTML5, JavaScript).
• Experience in hydrogen-related projects.
• Experience with automation processes involving gases, liquids, and pressure equipment.
• Additional languages, Estonian or Swedish in particular.

Benefits

• Work directly with our Service and Integration, Automation, Design, and Process Engineering teams in Tallinn.
• Be the first automation and service hire in Finland, with real say in how the role and our Nordic service operations take shape.
• Backed by Repsol, Skeleton Tech, SmartCap, and UGI, with EU funding through the IPCEI programme.
• Home-based, with site work and travel across the Nordics, and flexible working hours.
• Three company team events a year in Estonia, travel and accommodation covered.
• Sports and culture benefit up to the annual tax-free limit (currently €400/year).
