Project Engineer with Schneider Electric knowledge

Function

• As Project Engineer you take technical ownership of challenging projects in HVAC automation and smart building automation. You ensure that technical installations work together reliably, efficiently and comfortably.
• You design, configure and programme HVAC and building management systems using the EcoStruxure Building Operation platform (EBO), tailored to the needs of each building and project.
• From BACnet, Modbus and IP to KNX: you integrate various protocols, installations and smart components into one clear and well-functioning building management system.
• You translate complex control strategies into practical automation solutions that help reduce energy consumption and improve comfort for building users.
• You carry out I/O and functional tests, analyse deviations and oversee commissioning and functional handover on site. This ensures that the installation is correct not only on paper, but also in practice.
• Technical dossiers, I/O lists, functional descriptions and as-built documentation form an important part of your work. Thanks to your clear documentation, clients and colleagues can move forward with ease.
• As the technical point of contact, you advise clients and project managers on complex automation challenges. You also support less experienced colleagues and share knowledge that makes the entire team stronger.
• You work in a people-focused organisation with short lines of communication, a flat structure and expertise across the entire journey: from engineering and panel building to installation, building management and operational handover.

Profile

• A bachelor's or master's degree in electromechanics, automation or a comparable technical field provides a solid foundation for this role.
• You are familiar with the Schneider Electric portfolio.
• You bring approximately 3 to 5 years of experience in HVAC automation, building management systems or a similar technical project environment. Experience with EBO is important; knowledge of older systems such as TAC Vista or Xenta is a welcome bonus for migration projects.
• PLC programming, for example in Function Block Diagram or Script, and protocols such as BACnet, Modbus, IP and KNX are your familiar territory or represent skills you can demonstrably develop quickly.
• An analytical mindset helps you to quickly get to the core of faults and complex control issues. You communicate clearly with clients, project managers and technicians, because a good solution only gains value when everyone understands it.
• As a project engineer and automation engineer, you combine technical precision with initiative, a eagerness to learn and a collaborative spirit. You take responsibility for your work and share your knowledge without losing sight of practical reality.

Organisation

Our client specialises in HVAC automation, control technology and intelligent building automation.

They develop tailor-made solutions for the efficient and reliable control of technical installations in buildings. From engineering and panel building to automation, installation, building management and commissioning: the company guides the entire process, from design to operational handover.

Offer

• You receive a competitive salary in line with your experience and technical expertise, supplemented by additional benefits.
• A company car with fuel card makes travel to sites and project locations practically feasible.
• You receive meal vouchers of €10 per working day.
• A powerful laptop and smartphone support you with engineering, consultation, documentation and on-site monitoring.
• A flexible working schedule gives you room to organise your working day practically. In addition, you enjoy 32 days of leave.
• You work primarily from the office (50 to 60%) and visit sites when installations are being tested, commissioned or handed over.
• Through specialist training and access to up-to-date technical knowledge in EBO and building automation, you continue to develop your expertise.
• You will find yourself in a family-oriented, people-centred working environment where technical input is heard quickly and where team activities outside of projects also foster connection.
