The Automation Engineer is the core technical role in Tesco’s future engineering organization. Rather than separating electrical panel designers, PLC programmers, SCADA engineers, and network engineers into permanent silos, Tesco is developing broad systems integrators who understand the complete control system and can contribute across multiple parts of the engineering lifecycle.

Every Automation Engineer is expected to become proficient in panel design because the manufactured control panel is a foundational element of Tesco’s work. Engineers then build varying levels of proficiency in PLC programming, SCADA/HMI configuration, industrial networks/telemetry, FAT, and field commissioning. Individual technical strengths are expected; flexibility is the purpose.

This role will require travel up to 10% of the time.
