What is a Change Request?
A Change Request is a specific request to modify or expand the PLC and visualization software of an existing system. This includes, for example, system-specific software changes, minor software modifications, and the replacement of discontinued HMI devices, including the necessary adjustments and functional tests.
What you'll be handling:
- Evaluate the request: Record and organize change requests, and evaluate them in terms of technical feasibility, risks, and necessary interfaces.
- Estimate the effort: Define the scope of implementation and prepare a transparent estimate of hours required as the basis for the proposal and planning.
- Plan the solution: Define a technical implementation concept and coordinate the necessary contributions from engineering, IT, development, and documentation.
- Coordinate with the customer: Clarify the scope of services, open issues, prerequisites, and the appropriate implementation timeframe directly with the customer.
- Implement software: Independently implement PLC, HMI, and plant-specific software customizations and document them thoroughly.
- Coordinate changes: Coordinate and track necessary EPLAN, hardware, and documentation adjustments with the relevant engineering departments.
- Testing and Commissioning: Perform functional tests, commissioning, and handoffs remotely or on-site at the customer’s location.
- Provide Technical Advice: Advise customers on appropriate options, dependencies, modernization possibilities, and a reliable implementation.
What you'll need:
- Completed technical training—such as an apprenticeship, HTL, university of applied sciences, or university degree—in automation technology, electrical engineering, mechatronics, or a comparable field
- In-depth knowledge of PLC programming, particularly Siemens SIMATIC Manager and Siemens TIA Portal
- Experience with HMI and visualization systems, as well as with modifications to existing systems
- Understanding of electrical schematics and the ability to collaborate with EPLAN engineering teams
- Understanding of IT/OT topics, industrial networks, and increasing cybersecurity requirements, such as IEC 62443
- Knowledge of TGW Software Commander is a plus
- An independent, structured, and solution-oriented approach to work with a realistic assessment of effort and risks
- Customer-focused approach, strong communication skills, initiative, and decisiveness
- Very good written and spoken German and English
- Willingness to travel for necessary customer assignments
What you'll receive:
- A supportive work environment, motivated teams, and a culture of open feedback
- Diverse areas of responsibility and the freedom to shape your own work
