Role Summary
AFRY has ambitious growth plans in the Greenland region, and we are now looking for an experienced Senior Automation Engineer for our office at Herøya in Porsgrunn.
As a senior automation engineer, you will have a key role in the implementation of both small and large industrial projects. You will be responsible for automation and control system deliveries throughout the project's life cycle - from studies and concept development to detailed design, testing, commissioning and optimization.
The role entails significant technical responsibility in projects, with close dialogue with both customers, suppliers and internal professional environments. Here you get the opportunity to help shape how we work locally in Porsgrunn - both professionally and socially.
We deliver services as EPC partner, system integrator, consultant and owner's engineer - and offer our customers a holistic approach to industrial automation. The role combines planning and work at the customer's site.
Some travel must be expected, but the main part of the work is carried out locally in the Greenland region. This is an exciting opportunity for you who want to take a central role in the development of our professional environment in Porsgrunn, while at the same time contributing to some of Norway's most exciting industrial projects.
Your closest colleagues consist of 70 engineers within Automation & Electro and Industrial Digitalization, spread over Porsgrunn, Kristiansand, Sandefjord, Oslo and Sarpsborg. Together, we form a strong professional environment within automation, digitization and electronics, where you work closely with experienced professional resources across locations.

- Minimum of 5 years as an automation engineer / PLC engineer, with experience in programming, system design and commissioning of control systems
- Experience from industry, for example process industry, energy or manufacturing operations
- Experience with project work and interdisciplinary collaboration
We are looking for you who want to use your technical expertise to solve challenges and create good results for our customers. You work in a structured way, take responsibility and collaborate well with others. At the same time, you are happy to share knowledge and experience, and contribute to developing both the professional environment and the people around you. You enjoy finding practical solutions to technical problems and create good relationships with customers and colleagues.

Here you will work to
- Develop and program PLC and control systems
- Design and configure SCADA and overall control systems
- Contribute in OT/IT integration and industrial communication networks
- Prepare system architecture, technical specifications and solution descriptions
- Carry out testing, FAT/SAT and commissioning at the customer
- Participate in studies, preliminary projects and detailed design
- Follow up on customers and projects throughout the entire project cycle
- Actively participate in interdisciplinary project teams across disciplines and locations
Benefits
What you get from us
- Real impact on the development of the automation environment in Porsgrunn
- Opportunity to work with the entire value chain - from studies and concept development to commissioning and optimization
- A strong professional environment within industry, automation and digitalisation
- Exciting projects within both Greenfield and Brownfield facilities
We know the importance of maintaining a healthy balance between work and leisure, and recognize that each person's life situation is unique and therefore offer a flexible work environment that emphasizes freedom under responsibility.
You will have the opportunity to play an important role and be a central employee in an environment that is experiencing strong and healthy growth. Highly motivated and skilled people work here who share their experience and knowledge. We are proud of our culture and our community - here you will experience a warm, informal and inclusive working environment with colleagues you can be yourself with.
