You can find out what his job involves, what makes it so enjoyable and why he is so glad to work at KNAPP right here!
What are your
main responsibilities?
Controls commissioning engineers are installation technicians responsible for the PLC and automation and control technologies of our intralogistics systems. As a team leader in Controls Commissioning, I have a wide variety of responsibilities. On the technical side of things, project controlling involves a lot of coordination with Project Management as well as with the customer. For example, I make status calls with the team that is preparing the programs and testing them in the digital twin, as well as with the onsite team who are busy with startup. I am responsible for keeping deadlines, providing quality and staying within budget, as well as for planning new projects with my team and supervising personnel.
What kind of education, experience or interests should you have for your job?
Technical qualifications with a focus on control systems are important. Experience in the project business is also advantageous. In general, you have to know the basics of electrics, how a PLC works and what you can do with it. Team spirit and open communication also contribute to success. I myself did an apprenticeship in electrical installations engineering. Once finished, I wanted to further develop my skills and found a job at KNAPP.
My Job:
Dynamic. Innovative. Collaborative.

I’m happy to pass on my knowledge and support my employees on their professional journey.
