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.

• 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.
