• Strong troubleshooting skills across instrumentation, wiring, cabinet hardware, PLCs, communications and HMIs

• Ability to interpret P&IDs, electrical schematics, terminal plans and I/O lists

• Ability to work safely and independently on industrial electrical systems

• German Elektrofachkraft status, or eligibility for formal appointment, is preferred

• Working German for safe site work and contractor coordination, plus sufficient English for technical documentation and international suppliers

• Structured and disciplined approach to testing, change control, backups and technical documentation

Bonus:

• PLC and HMI programming experience

• Experience with EPLAN

• Functional safety, safety circuits or ATEX instrumentation experience

Benefits

• Real Impact: Use your engineering expertise to tackle one of the world’s most pressing environmental challenges

• Ownership: Take responsibility for critical electrical, instrumentation and control systems from design through commissioning

• Technology at Scale: Help transform innovative PFAS destruction technology from pilot systems into reliable commercial products

• Broad Engineering Exposure: Work hands-on across instrumentation, electrical systems, control cabinets, PLC/HMI and commissioning

• Startup Environment: Short decision paths, high responsibility and the opportunity to directly shape our technology

• Competitive Package: Attractive fixed salary plus performance-based variable compensation, public transport and lunch subsidies
