Kalundborg, Denmark Novo Nordisk AS Full time

Are you eager to implement and maintain automation solutions in large-scale API production? Would you like to work in one of the best IT and Automation organizations in the pharmaceutical industry?

Apply now for a life-changing career as Automation Engineer working with PLCs and instruments 

You have an unparalleled opportunity to join us from the early stages of building a new manufacturing site. Come and be part of our international team. 

The position 

As an Automation Engineer, you will secure the implementation of Siemens PLC systems and later be part of the maintenance organization, and we are therefore looking for someone with a desire to achieve strong systems knowledge. In this position it is important to keep an operational mindset while securing the delivery of the PLC systems.

As an PLC Automation Engineer at Novo Nordisk, you will: 

Identify key risks, define requirements, and ensure the PLC systems have a robust and reliable design. 

Provide governance to the design, implementation, and testing to ensure alignment with your area and other areas within the project. 

Work closely with stakeholders, external partners, and other automation organisations across API. 

Provide 24/7 support as part of the maintenance organisation. 

Travel to Copenhagen as needed to collaborate with our partners. 

Your main location will be in Kalundborg, in close proximity of the manufacturing sites. As a lot of our collaboration partners work around Copenhagen, it is expected that you will also travel to work in those locations. 

The project is of great strategic importance to Novo Nordisk, which has high visibility and support from Senior Management. At the same time, you will have a foot inside Novo Nordisk’s IT organization which supports all major expansion projects as well as operations.

Qualifications 

We are looking for an ambitious and proactive colleague who can contribute to the team both professionally and personally.

The ideal candidate will have a proven track record in most of the following skills and experiences: 

You hold an M.Sc. or B.Sc. within IT, Engineering, or have other relevant experience from recent job(s). 

2-5+ years of professional experience within IT Automation; either from operations and maintenance, or from project participation. 

Good knowledge of manufacturing processes and requirements. 

Experience within the Pharma industry or other highly regulated industry (GMP) preferred. 

Experience with Siemens PLC system SIMATIC S7 1500, TIA portal, ProfiNet, OPC UA, and HMI is preferred. 

Proactive, solution-oriented, and collaborative. 

Ability to communicate well in spoken and written English. 

As a person, you are energized by taking responsibility for automation. You are structured in your way of working and open to share information with your colleagues, work together as a team, and drive for joint results. You thrive in a multicultural environment and have an open mind-set. You have strong communication skills for collaboration with stakeholders and can translate strategy into ambitious goals with clear priorities. 

About the department 

The IT and Automation Department is a diverse team made up of individuals with a variety of nationalities and professional experiences. Located in Kalundborg, in close proximity to the manufacturing sites, our team atmosphere is very inclusive and supportive. We collaborate closely to find solutions and support each other’s tasks. Due to the fast pace of project life, our team is very dynamic and able to shift priorities to support project milestones. You will find the team inviting and collaborative, making it easy to acclimate to Novo Nordisk and life in Kalundborg.
