About the role

Pivatic manufactures punching and bending machines for automated sheet metal production. As a commissioning engineer, you’ll work in a hybrid model — partly at the factory, partly remotely from home if desired, and on-site at customer locations abroad. A typical day at the factory involves starting and testing machines to ensure everything works as intended. You will also fine-tune software in PLC systems and check compatibility between electrical and mechanical components. At customer sites, your role is to ensure that the production line operates according to the agreed specifications. You’ll also provide training for operators and technical staff. Problem-solving plays a key role in this position, as commissioning machinery can involve challenges that require creative solutions. You can expect around 100 travel days per year, primarily in Europe and North America, with trips typically lasting up to four weeks.

You are offered

This role is an excellent growth opportunity for someone with some experience in automation, electrical systems, and programming, who is eager to deepen their practical skills.

• Hands-on learning: You'll work with complex technical systems and gain a deep understanding of how production lines, software, electrical systems, and mechanics work together.
• Fast professional development: You'll grow your skills in PLC controls, NC systems, and problem-solving. You’ll also gain valuable experience working with customers and resolving technical challenges on-site.
• International experience: You’ll have the chance to travel and work in different countries, building global industry insight and professional networks.
• Career advancement opportunities: You can specialize in software optimization, broader automation solutions, or move into roles like system design. This is a great opportunity to learn from top professionals and build a solid foundation for a career in automation and industrial technology.
