Provide technical support and troubleshooting for controls and automation issues during and after machine commissioning.
Interact directly with customers during on-site visits to gather requirements, explain solutions, and ensure satisfaction with delivered systems.
Contribute to training and knowledge sharing within a team of full-time Controls Engineers and contractors.
Maintain accurate project documentation, including programs, schematics, and configuration details for future reference and support.
