Perspective: Your Path to Process Automation
This position offers you a clear development path towards Industrial Process Engineering - Digital Twin & Automation.
You will start in the field of classic automation technology with PLCs, SCADA, and commissioning, and can develop into a key technical role between plant, process, OT data, and digital twin.
Possible career path:
Junior Industrial Process Engineer - Digital Twin & Automation
Industrial Process Engineer - Digital Twin & Automation
Senior Industrial Process Engineer - Digital Twin & Automation
Lead Industrial Process Engineer - Digital Twin & Automation
Principal Industrial Process Engineer - Digital Twin & Automation
Head of Process Automation Engineering
This path is about technically understanding industrial processes, implementing them in PLC and SCADA solutions, providing data points for OPDPRO.CARE, and making plant processes stable, traceable, and digitally usable.
The Industrial Process Engineer - Digital Twin & Automation develops and implements the process logic in the plant. It connects PLCs, SCADA, OT data, and process knowledge with the digital twin in OPDPRO.CARE.
The central development themes include:
- Technically understand, structure, and implement processes
- Develop, adapt, and optimize SPS programs
- Create SCADA images and operating concepts
- Provide and make data points for OPDPRO.CARE usable
- Establish interfaces to the system
- Accompany commissioning
- Make process flows stable, transparent, and traceable
- Translate customer requirements into robust technical solutions
- Take on progressive responsibility for standards, concepts, and technical leadership
This will allow you to evolve from an automation technician to a specialist in modern process automation, digital twins, and industrial production systems.
Why Opdenhoff?
Because we don't think of automation in isolation.
Our projects combine control engineering, process understanding, and digital production systems. We are looking for people who take responsibility, work with technical precision, and enjoy making industrial plants smarter, more stable, and future-proof.
With us, you won't just work on individual programs or visualizations. You'll help to understand industrial processes holistically, map them technically, and make them better in the long term.
