Your mission, should you choose to accept it:

MCR Design and Strategy

• Document the operating logics of existing plants and plan them in the form of flowcharts, Process Function Plan (PFP), Continuous Function Chart (CFC), or other suitable functional supports.
• Definition and evolution of standards:
  • Implement an internal documentation standard for describing MCR functional logic, in close collaboration with the automation unit.
  • Establish control concepts by sub"‘group (distribution pump, heat production, etc.) and define functional and logical levels for the installations.
• Design complex flowcharts (prioritisation of triggers, management of consumption peaks, interconnection between decentralised plants).
• System Architecture: Manage the integration of PLCs and ensure the implementation of communication gateways between different industrial communication protocols.

Project Management and Technical Follow-up

• Engineering: establish MCR point lists, automation PID plans, electrical diagrams, and functional analyses.
• Prepare specifications, analyse offers, and ensure technical follow-up of contractors and subcontractors.
• Supervise sites, conduct functional tests, and validate commissioning.
• Coordinate studies and works with external partners.
• Prepare and update technical documents and write reports.

Optimisation and Support

• In close collaboration with the production sector automation unit, carry out improvement projects: diagnose and optimise existing boiler rooms from a control perspective.
• Technical support: assist operations teams (parameter setting of drives, pump integration, resolution of complex malfunctions).

Supervision and Visualisation

• Interface development: define and structure specifications for visualisation.

Prerequisites, you will need to:

• Education: HES/EPF engineer in automation, thermal engineering, or equivalent training, with solid professional expertise in MCR, and at least five years of experience in the energy sector, building automation, or industry.
• Technical skills:
  • Expertise in building automation (heating, ventilation, air conditioning) or equivalent experience in industry.
  • Proficiency in programming on SAIA (PG5 or QronoX) and Siemens (Siemens Industries and Siemens Building/Desigo).
  • Ability to design electrical and control diagrams.
  • Knowledge of communication protocols (Modbus, BACnet, KNX) and SCADA/Visiplus systems.
  • Data analysis: ability to exploit SQL/SCADA databases for BI projects.
• Analytical mindset, ability to simplify complex technical concepts, and ease in interdisciplinary collaboration (IT, installers, operations).
• Possess an entrepreneurial spirit enabling autonomous project development.

Would be an asset:

• Organisational skills, autonomy, flexibility, efficiency with a keen affinity for quality, curiosity, and proactivity.
• Proven experience in project management.
• Knowledge of energy production and distribution systems, or skills in thermal and hydraulic engineering.
• Standards: Good knowledge of SIA standards and OIBT directives. Holding Article 13 of ESTI is a major asset.
• Ability to communicate in German (minimum B1).
