Application Engineer MES

40 hours per week, hybrid in Venlo (NL)

What You’ll Do

In this role you develop systems for controlling the new production lines, but also make an important contribution to managing and renewing the existing MES systems. Within projects you take care of the design and implementation of an MES application based on standard platforms (Camstar, AspenTech). Together with internal stakeholders, such as Project Managers, System Architects and colleagues from Production Engineering you will map out the specifications for the new system. You will coordinate mutual expectations and needs.

With your professional knowledge and vision, you are a discussion partner. You know how to translate the needs of the customer and processes into a progressive design and configuration within the established application architecture.

For the construction of new MES systems and the maintenance of existing MES systems you sometimes work together with external IT service providers. Here you have the role of project leader and you manage the team of professionals. In this role you monitor progress, quality and budget.

You are the first point of contact for problems, new wishes and changes. You know like no other how to translate customer needs into solutions. You take care of the design and implementation of these solutions. Together with your colleagues, you contribute to the development of the working methods in the team. Your responsibilities also include setting up and maintaining the right development and (automated) test environment.
